BTC Outlook

If you somehow haven’t heard, last Friday Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) failed and over the weekend a joint statement was released saying the banks depositors would be made whole by FDIC. Related to this bank failure, it was discovered some percentage of USD backing Circle’s USD were in SVB and over the weekend USDC lost it’s peg and is still currently trading $0.9943 just under $1. These two catalysts are likely the reason money flowed into BTC over the weekend resulting in a massive rally and BTC reclaiming the entire last two weeks of selling in just three days.

From a technical perspective what’s most important in the last two weeks of price action is which supports and resistance were respected. BTC flew past the 50 day moving average and the FTX local top both on the way down and on the way up. What’s very clear is the bulls were ready to buy at the 200 day moving average which was nearly the exact local bottom of the recent sell off.

The CPI report will release this morning at 8:30 am eastern (after this commentary) and as usual these days tend to have high intraday volatility. One could speculate that if inflation is less than expected BTC may rally further with the market expecting the Fed would then have more room to pivot.

Possible Course of Action

• Do nothing wait for Bitcoin to rise above $25k and hold it as support before buying

• Short near $25k expecting it to act as resistance

• Hold a long position as long as price is above 200 day MA

The Bulls’ Defense:

• Price above the 200 day MA & 50 day MA

• Bank mismanagement and government relief is fundamental to Bitcoin bull case

The Bears’ Prosecution:

• Double top at $25.3k

• Bad CPI report could end the rally
