CHEAT SHEET

(You can print this out at work to follow along.)

Red = Bearish, Green = Bullish, Brown = Neutral since the date given in “Bias Since”. Support levels are where the price could bounce when falling and Resistance levels are where the price could stop if rising. You can find more details on how to read the cheat sheet here.

The Bitcoin price is still well above the Weekly support at $43,280. If the price falls below the Daily support of $44,376 then expect it to test the next Weekly support at $43,280.

Notice how everything is green now? My guess is the Monthlies will probably flip green in September. WYD?

TAKE ME TO (BTC) MAXI TOWN

Here’s a link to a tradingview.com post I made on June 21.

On this chart you can see the 50 day moving average (solid teal line) and the 200 day moving average (solid red line). In late June a Death Cross occurred on the chart. This is when the 50 day moving average crosses below the 200 day moving average. This can often signal a down trend, but if you notice it is a lagging indicator. Most of the downturn was over by the time the death cross happened.

It looks like if the current short term upward momentum continues then around September 1st there will be a Golden Cross on the chart. This is when the 50 day moving average crosses above the 200 day moving average. This can often signal an uptrend, but again it is a lagging indicator. In order for the golden cross to occur Bitcoin’s price would need to stay above the 200 day moving average for 50 days.

The point is. IF the golden cross is going to occur then the price run up before the cross happens is likely already halfway over.

On the other hand the Golden Cross could never happen. Bitcoin’s price fell below the 200 day moving average last night and needs to find a point of support. This could be at the January 2021 High around $42,000.

Possible Course of Action

  • You could put a buy order at $42,000 with a tight stop loss.

  • If you are already long do nothing. A similar stop loss below $42,000 would be prudent.

  • You could try to short it down to $42,000 but the risk/reward is not that good. You should use an ultra tight stop loss and we guess you’ll get burnt by fees.

Price Action Summary

The Bulls’ Defense:

  • Price in short term uptrend

  • On-chain analysis shows whales are taking Bitcoin off exchanges in large quantity

The Bears’ Prosecution:

  • Price is below 200 day moving average

  • Still 20+ days away from a golden cross. Momentum could leave and price could start drifting downward.

Recent News

  • The family that bet everything on bitcoin when it was $900 is now storing it in secret vaults on four different continents.

  • Bitcoin energy usage cleaner than every major industry – report.

  • Silicon Valley leader Mark Cuban speaks against $1 trillion infrastructure bill, backs up Crypto.

ETH SHY BOY ZONE

This one is pretty simple. In the 2 day time frame ETH has been going up and to the right at 45 degrees. The RSI being above 50 merits this, and the RSI just reached a critical level of 70. This is normally an important inflection point where the price either begins to rise faster or loses steam and begins to decline. If today’s candle closes red (or in this case teal), meaning the price starts to decline today, then we’d expect to see a correction back down to the dotted white line or all the way back to the Fibonacci levels if the RSI starts to decline back towards 50.

We think this is a dip buying moment.

Possible Course of Action

  • If you are not in a position then look to buy at the white dashed line or wait for a pull back all the way to $2600.

  • You could short this one with a tight stop. Our experience so far with crypto is don’t do it. The only really good shorts require perfect timing, or identifying a major top not a local top.

The Bulls’ Defense:

  • Rally appears to be back intact. Price is consistently moving up and to the right in the 2 day time frame.

The Bears’ Prosecution:

  • If the RSI fails to go above 70 and starts to decline towards 50 the price could correct all the way to $2500

Recent News

  • Ethereum surpasses Mastercard and Bank of America in market value.

  • $100m of ETH is burned in fees since London fork.
