Bitcoin Outlook
Finally, some buyers showed up last night and decided to try the trade to $50k again. If you like slopes you’ll notice this price movement “broke the trend”. However, there’s still major resistance near $50k. As we’ve been saying for the past 2 weeks, if BTC is going to have an EOY really the first proving point is holding $50k as support. Shorting weakness or buying strength at $50k is something to watch for.
Possible Course of Action
If you took the trade back to $50k consider scaling out
Pick up a short near $50k if it doesn’t hold looking for a retest of $40k
The Bulls’ Defense:
Reclaiming $50k and holding as support would be a show of strength and an indication that buyers have returned to the market
Santa Clause rally
The Bears’ Prosecution:
Multi-week downtrend could continue. $50k has been rejected multiple times. $40k would be next major support. Based on recent price action it’s possible $30k is wicked to again on some exchanges.
ETH OUTLOOK
ETH has returned to $4000. If you listen to the Foot Guns podcast Boomer has been buying ETH below $4000 and selling at $4000 since September. Now back at $4000 ETH has some proving to do. In its short history its spent and even shorter amount of time above $4000. To really show strength here ETH would need to return to $4250 and hold that level as support. Otherwise, rinse and repeat, ETH goes below $4k picks up some liquidity and sells off again at $4k.
Possible Course of Action
Do nothing
If you want to short we’d recommend waiting for a failed retest of $4200
Could look to open a long near $3450
The Bulls’ Defense:
EIP-1559 has burned $4,962,681,036 (1,236,238ETH) so far. Supply constraints should continue to have a positive impact on price.
The Bears’ Prosecution:
Potential macro double top that could result in multi-week (or month) consolidation
