BTC Outlook
BTC price is consolidating after being unable to rise above $46k. The daily volatility this week has been picking up and now we are seeing a retest of the neckline of this break out. The price action still looks bullish for a likely retest of $50k. This does not mean that the price does not spend more time consolidating at these levels. Buying the dips is still likely a profitable strategy until we are closer to $48k-$50k.
Altcoins were rising faster than Bitcoin yesterday and now are selling off with a higher percentage lose. We expect altcoin/BTC pairs to continue to sell off. There of course are always exceptions.
Possible Course of Action (advice from last week still holds)
Scale into a long here buying any dips
If long, stay long and look for a retest of $50k
Could try shorting near $50k
The Bulls’ Defense:
Holding $42k-$43k would be a show of strength and more upside is expected
The Bears’ Prosecution:
Major resistance at $50k
ETH Outlook
Wow, we really made this one easy for you. Last week we suggested buying ETH at $2600 with the intention of selling or at least lightning up between $3000 and $3300. We think this is just a moment of consolidation and ETH will retest $3750, but we still think this is a good time to lighten up. It’s entirely possible that this is the end of this short term rally and we see another few weeks of downward/sidewise price movement.
Expect ETH to trade within the $3000 - $3300 range in the coming week(s).
Possible Course of Action
Scale out of position if long since $2600
Do nothing and wait for more consolidation
Open a short near resistance ($3.3k-$3.7k)
The Bulls’ Defense:
EIP-1559 has burned $5,685,098,284 (1,808,057 ETH) so far. Supply constraints should continue to have a positive impact on price.
$3k holding as support would be a show of strength and more upside is expected
The Bears’ Prosecution:
ETH price will stall out between $3.3k-$3.7k and multi-month weakness continues
