Don’t miss last weeks podcast. Hal, Boomer discuss what’s going on with oil, commodities and how it may impact Crypto.


CHEAT SHEET

Pink = Bearish, Blue = Bullish, Orange = 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. The black outlined boxes show the price at the time of cheat sheet creation. You can find more details on how to read the cheat sheet here.

We’ve updated the cheat sheet!

In order to understand how the macro picture is developing we are now following CL (front contract of light sweet crude oil), ES (S&P 500 e-mini futures contract), NQ (Nasdaq-100 e-mini futures contract). This should help you understand the broader market conditions you are buying or selling crypto within.

We are no longer showing you the date our Bias change but instead the last 3 bias for each timeframe. For example, for the last three months Bitcoin has been bearish, this week it is bullish and the last 2 weeks were neutral for the weekly. Oil closed last week bearish but flipped bullish on the daily on Sunday and remains bullish.

BTC Outlook

If you are unfamiliar with the EMA ribbon tool, it shows the Exponential Moving Average for many different lengths of time all at once. In red is a range of EMAs starting at 21 days and going to 55, in yellow is the 200 day EMA. The Tradingview tool is programmed to flash a buy signal when the 21 day EMA crosses above the 50 EMA. On the daily timeframe these buy and sell signals are very reliable, but like always nothing is 100%. 

You can see in the current daily candle that recent attempts to move up were sold off quickly. It’s possible this is another failed attempt similar to Feb 16th and March 3rd where the EMA’s were about to start crossing and Bitcoin sold off. Notice that in the last 21 – 55 days this is telling us that through all the volatility, on average, BTC has been moving sideways. It’s possible many who bought this rally get out in the coming days if the week does not close strongly above $42k.

Note that historically when BTC hovers above it’s 50day EMA altcoins tend to have a short-term rally.

Possible Course of Action

  • Long here watching EMA ribbon for confirmation

  • Short betting on return to 50day EMA

The Bulls’ Defense:

  • Potential EMA Ribbon buy signal

  • Trading above 50 day EMA

The Bears’ Prosecution:

  • Weakness in current daily candle could signal a short-term top


ETH Outlook

Today we are back to watching the ETH/BTC pair following the breakout from this multi-month downtrend. News continues to circulate about ETH’s migration to proof-of-stake expected in June. This is supposedly giving a headwind to the price relative to BTC. Looking at the chart it appears ETH is forming a bull flag. These have a tendency to breakout to the upside.

Possible Course of Action

  • Long here watching BTC and ETH/BTC pair closely

  • Short feels dangerous here

The Bulls’ Defense:

  • EIP-1559 has burned $6,082,553,134 (2,011,984 ETH) so far. Supply constraints should continue to have a positive impact on price.

  • ETH/BTC bull flag

The Bears’ Prosecution:

  • Downtrend since Dec 7 2021 could be retested

  • BTC may outperform in the short-term
