Regardless of the long-standing anticipation of Bitcoin reaching 100K which the Holdrs and Bulls have been patiently ready for and at last occurred this week, there may be now the hereafter.
My common readers know that I personally do not need positions in any of the cryptocurrencies or ETFs that I touch upon technically in my Weekly Research and the explanation for that. Opinion is well clouded by the center and want.
Regardless of the long-standing anticipation of Bitcoin reaching 100K which the Holdrs and Bulls have been patiently ready for and at last occurred this week, there may be now the hereafter.
My common readers know that I personally do not need positions in any of the cryptocurrencies or ETFs that I touch upon technically in my Weekly Crypto and ETF Research. The rational for that, “Opinion is well clouded by the center and its want”. Because of this, from the outset, I selected to keep away from any temptation to commerce or make investments (not simple for one who was a institutional dealer in a former life) within the devices I observe on a technical foundation for my readers.
Though on a purely technical foundation, “spherical quantity” resistance by itself does’ advantage consideration technically, however it stands by itself and isn’t pure worth resistance (extra on that follows). Usually used when costs have reached “blue sky” territory it marks a degree the place buyers, within the collective psyche, have marked a “worth purpose”. Within the case of Bitcoin “when it will get to 100K I’m a vendor” or “time to peel some off” (simply two examples).
Pure worth resistance (or assist) takes on many kinds. To call a number of, earlier worth pivot factors, worth retracement ranges utilizing Fibonacci Evaluation, worth congestion areas the place interplay between patrons and sellers have acted previous to a worth transfer that had adopted, development resistance or assist using development line or Median Line Evaluation and the Cloud mannequin. When there’s a confluence of those the extra weight must be positioned on the outlined degree, versus one phycological information level.
Earlier this week, previous to Bitcoin’s overtaking of the symbolic 100K degree, I posted this chart to social media. My technical feedback regarded what I believed was the popular Elliott Wave rely. In that, a wave 2 corrective wave was unfolding because the completion of Wave 1 that discovered its genesis on the October lows. I believed at the moment that it was posible that the 38.2 retracement of wave 3 (P2 to P3) can be examined however the remaining underlying power was stronger than I believed and at this time worth has, after a quick intraday dip beneath the Decrease Parallel yesterday, has moved again above the 100K degree and is ready to problem the Median Line (purple dotted line) of the Schiff Pitchfork (purple P1 by way of P3). My foremost concern rearding a continuation within the worth rally stays. Though it stays optimistic territory, MACD continues to trace decrease below its sign line and the Stochastic Momentum Index is waffling sideways. The Candy Sixteen Momentum / Breadth Oscillator registered a decrease excessive final Sunday and has fallen beneath its 13-Day SMA (purple line). If worth can overtake the Median Line and shut above it I’d really feel extra comfy saying that the 2-week, wave 2 sideways consolidation has run its course and the measured transfer out of the “field” targets 104,400 simply above Thursday’s intra-day excessive.
Extra particulars on this week’s Market’s Compass Crypto Candy Sixteen Research that will probably be despatched to my paid subscribers Sunday morning.
