10K remains key resistance for BTC with 9.1K important trading support
Similar to other risk assets, such as the S&P 500, BTC has traded in a relatively narrow range under resistance through May. A breakout in either direction from the recent trading range is likely to signal BTC’s next tactical directional shift. 10k followed by 10.5k remain the levels traders are fixated on but 9.1K also remains an equally important trading level to be aware of.
Our bias is for an upside breakout to develop given BTC’s short-term (15-dma), intermediate-term (50-dma) and longer-term (200-week sma) trends remain positive. In addition, the advance-decline line for the FS CryptoFX 10 large-cap index is in a confirmed uptrend defined by a series of higher high and higher lows. BTC is also trending positively to the S&P 500 recently establishing 7-month relative high and it is challenging its 2018-2020 relative performance downtrends to gold and the TLT bond ETF. An upside rally above 10-10.5K resistance would likely be accompanied by an upside trend reversal to gold and the TLT confirming a new bullish uptrend to both. However, we also fully appreciate the risk of prejudging any technical pattern before it has resolved, a lesson we have learned once too often over the past 28 year of doing technical research. In fact, 9.1K, just below BTC’s rising 1...Reports you may have missed
BITCOIN (BTC) “CRYPTO-WINTER” LOOKS TO BE OVER. A BULLISH 2024 LOOKS LIKELY TECHNICALLY FOLLOWING A 1Q CONSOLIDATION. Bitcoin looks to be giving off strong signals that the crypto-winter that has kept most coins in bear markets over the last couple years has finally run its course. The act of having taken the lead ahead of many cryptocurrencies in finally surpassing the 50% retracement area of its entire decline from 2021...
Tuesday produced nearly a textbook breakout which not only exceeded late June and early July highs in ^SPX 0.54% , but also successfully exceeded 3-4 month downtrends for ^SPX 0.54% and DJIA -0.18% . Seven of the 11 S&P Select SPDR ETF’s were higher by more than 3%, and volume was nearly 10/1 bullish on NYSE and NASDAQ, producing a “90% Up day” in volume. Hourly charts show this breakout above the two former peaks...
The SPX showed just minor downside follow-through after Tuesday’s reversal but might not immediately weaken down to prior lows ahead of the US July 4th holiday. As mentioned, prices reversed on cue Tuesday due to a combination of Elliott-wave analysis with Gann analysis which provided price and time targets based on the prior June 16th bottom. I expect that the next couple days might show prices attempting to stabilize and...
Cryptocurrency rally looks to have temporarily stalled out after a sharp three-week rally. Ethereum has stalled out in its relative performance vs Bitcoin, and for now, Bitcoin is an outperformer over Ethereum and should be favored. Weekly momentum remains negative and Cycle composites start to turn lower in early March into April/May, so given low retail interest and not many inflows, this could limit the larger rally continuing to all-time highs...
