BTC Outlook
It is fairly clear which direction Bitcoin is going after consolidating for nearly a month in the high $20ks. The question now becomes, can this rally persist? So far Bitcoin has broken out from this trend of lower highs and is now stepping upwards. However, this morning started with a breaking of the short term consolidation and downward price movement. We are thinking BTC will move to retest the CME gap left at $36k. However, the path in which it gets there is unclear. It would not be surprising to see BTC fall back below $30k again to rest the strength of buyers before finally making a move to $36k.
Buying the dip could be working again.
Possible Course of Action
Long under $30k expecting to fill the CME gap at $36k
Do nothing and wait for current breakdown to consolidate
Short here looking for a retest of $30k
The Bulls’ Defense:
Breakout of month long consolidation
The Bears’ Prosecution:
Global macro uncertainty
Tech stock correlation
ETH Outlook
Well, the NASDAQ and ETH coefficient broke, but in the lamest way possible. The orange line shows the NASDAQ and you can see that even though the daily coefficient (in blue on the bottom) fell to 0 and even went slightly negative that actual shape of the price distribution is not drastically different. ETH ended up rallying just like NASDAQ it was just late to the party, or in this case waiting for Memorial Day Weekend to party. For now crypto continues to take its cues from the stock market and specifically tech stocks. It is looking like the correlation will return in the coming weeks regardless of the price direction.
Possible Course of Action
Caution here as ETH is highly correlated with the tech stock sell off
Wait for BTC to rise above 50-day MA before long ETH
Short ETH/ long BTC might work (well it did this morning!)
The Bulls’ Defense:
EIP-1559 has burned $4,226,383,605 (2,364,940 ETH) so far. Supply constraints should continue to have a positive impact on price.
The Bears’ Prosecution:
Global macro uncertainty
Nasdaq correlation and sell off
ETH/BTC pair continues to be weak
