Crypto rebounds stalling at resistance – ETHBTC remains noteworthy
What’s changing technically for crypto currencies?
After rebounding from deeply oversold levels in March, most cryptocurrencies are stalling under technical resistance coinciding with declining 50- and 200-dma’s.

Slide 5 Interestingly, a similar pattern is developing for many other risk assets, notably equities where the S&P 500 is showing early signs of pausing at its 50% retracement of the Q1 sell-off and many cyclical stocks pull back from declining 200-dma’s.

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.
