Capitolation ongoing. Likely bear trap unfolding. Buy the dip.

מעודכן
Capitulation ongoing: announced by Hash Ribbons and MA20/W - MA100/W "death cross" few days ago and now confirmed.

Bottom fishing is pointless.
Taking advantage of panic is key.

While keeping risk under control is paramount here due to uncertainty (3AC, Census, BlockFi, ...) rules, good R:R insist here.
Playing my cards, will evaluate the outcome within few weeks.
More to come.


הערה
Fib nailed already (17,7k).
הערה
Dominance is interesting.

While not far from support (bottom of ascending channel) it may close at FIB 0.618 of last leg up with a hammer.

תמונת-בזק

Check on close.
הערה
1000$ higher than operning post and 2500$ higher than reference FIB.
Remember to protect your position (always!).

Enjoy.
הערה
[Intraday]

MInd the risk.
Channels intersection may squeeze price.
תמונת-בזק
הערה
Went through fine.
הערה
Anyway, ascending channels usually break down. Looking forward to some sideways and pullback. (Ending intraday considerations here)
הערה
Till then inverted H&S stays possible.

תמונת-בזק
הערה
Lost channel and 20k test imbound.
הערה
Pretty boring PA. Let's zoom a bit:
תמונת-בזק

Awaiting breakout of triangle and CME futures close in the afternoon.
הערה
Still waiting.
We're about to see whether we can raise from here or a further leg down is required.

תמונת-בזק

Time is ticking.
The longer it takes the worse the chance to have a proper preakout.
הערה
If things turn bad we have a belt of support in the 19k, then the low area.
Anyway, no hurry, let's have the market pick its move first.
הערה
Looks weak, watch it.

See you after WE ;)
הערה
תמונת-בזק
הערה
No clear breakout.

Crucial week ahead, last of june.
I'd expect high volatility coming back.

Protect your positions
הערה
As you may notice BTC.d reached again bottom of the channel (support).

תמונת-בזק

Hence id' expect volatility along the week and possibly spiking.
הערה
We've seen some movement already.
הערה
Looking forwad to monthly close.
BTC is hitting lower bound of monthly BB for the first time ever.

תמונת-בזק

That's considered strong support.
הערה
Big mess with 3AC liquidation and Compass mining problems.
More fuel for bears.

Let's see.
הערה
Follow up to saturday chart:

תמונת-בזק

Unsurprisingly price moved to liquidity area after failing triangle breakout.
This was expected.

What should be chekced is the degree of support this area will provide.
Today we had 2 bad news: ETF (further) denial and pretty bad "Travel rule" news for EU. It adds up to A3C and Compass issues.

It's a big mess.
Hence we're looking for further opportunities here.
הערה
Recurring pattern.

תמונת-בזק

Not all sellers, somebody's carefully buying.
Let's see what's next ...
הערה
Liquidity area update:

תמונת-בזק

Other that bottom being at 18,9 instead of 19,1 that's it.
Awaiting a breakout (look at close, not at wicks).
הערה
No change so far. Meanwhile:

תמונת-בזק

Awaiting a blue dot within next few weeks.
הערה
Next week will likely be the 13th of a red TD count.
Meaning drastical increase of odd of reversal.

On D congestion phase begun, an impulse will come next.

תמונת-בזק

I'd like to see price to move towards 20,5k, for a re-test of middle of BB.
Then i'd watch for a likely upside breakout.

Fingers crossed.
הערה
If so look at how Bollinger bands will expand.We would like to see the LOWER BB expand noticeably and further than the upper one.
הערה
FInally, a look at dominance on W:
תמונת-בזק

Support still holding, if so we should see a bounce.
הערה
The picture.

תמונת-בזק

We have to avoid confirmation of that bearish pennant or achieve a fakeout.
I'd expect high volatility soon. Brace.
הערה
Good, but let's see close.
Parabolic SAR turned already.
Volume rising, but still so-so.

תמונת-בזק

A higher high is needed in order to reach an then possibly overcome the big hurdle: MM200/W at about 22,5k.

It's still a long call from here.
Not excluding a pullback to middle of daily BB, but hope to see further signs of strength by weekly close.
הערה
Zooming on opening post:
תמונת-בזק

Spot on so far, but still a long shot from under MM200/W.
Let's see.
הערה
Anyway, still in CONGESTION for now.
הערה
At resistance: upper bollinger band + MA200/W

תמונת-בזק

Likely a pullback.
הערה
Here is the pullback to bisector of BB.

תמונת-בזק

Let's look at close and ignore wicks, as a further pullback to edge of triangle cannot be excluded.

Anyway, reaction needed from this area or back to the drawing board.
הערה
Back to accumulation zone and not looking good.

תמונת-בזק

Anything below 18,9k would rise red flags.
Use caution.
הערה
18906$. Awesome ;)

Anyway, letting alone price, time-wise Willy says: fasten your seatbelts.

תמונת-בזק

Buckle up.
הערה
21k mark hit, but likely a further short term pullback.
הערה
Pullback and breakout of trendline achieved.
תמונת-בזק

Now price well within resistance area.
MA200/W at about 22,7k.
הערה
Short term further sideways above 21k likely.

Anyway, in order to pierce MA200/W price needs a daily close ABOVE upper BB and good volume. Failing that a broad sideways within the ascending channel would become increasinly more likely.
הערה
Near upper BB. Toughest area.
From here is either breakout or strong rejection.

תמונת-בזק

Remember to protect your profit, we're +25% up from entry.
Have a TP, remember i give entry points, but exit is up to you.
הערה
This is a simple zoom (TF 3D) in of the original post, with the first arrow:

תמונת-בזק

Basically reached the first target area.
Still i struggle to see volume, so caution is needed.

Current volume so far looks not enough for an extension (second arrow) and there's a risk of a mere technical pullback unless a further push moves volume.

Be cautious from here onwards.
הערה
The original chart, for reference.

תמונת-בזק
הערה
Come on, BItcoin, time is up.
Be nice.

תמונת-בזק

Show a big fat green candle before it's too late ....
עסקה סגורה: היעד הושג
First target technically reached.

תמונת-בזק

About 1 month later and very few days earlier than expected.
Now eyes on close and volume, in order to evaluate odds of an extension.
הערה
BTW: plz disregard the "trade closed" part.
I've no other way to mark "target reached".

50% of trade still ongoing since there were 2 targets originally.
As usual, it's up to you when to exit trade.
הערה
24k met and exceeded too.

4H on 9th green TD count candle and bearish divergence.
I'd say that time-wise some significant pullback is nearing, unless a spike up on RSI cancels it any soon:

You know the drill, protect your position.
הערה
Here we go, close to the 22k mark.
There's support just over there, let's see if it holds.

1H:

תמונת-בזק

4H still heavy.
הערה
תמונת-בזק
הערה
Original chart, zooming on the retest:

תמונת-בזק

Soon we'll know.
הערה
over MA200/W, but at short term resistance.
Daily picture:

תמונת-בזק

Top of channel and upper BB area.
Volume, or it won't happen ...
הערה
Moreover, that bearish divergence implies a risk of fakeout, hence remember to protect your gain. Always.

תמונת-בזק
הערה
Caution over WE.
הערה
No surprise, down to 23,3k on sunday close.

Key support 22,4-21,5k area.
Picture unchanged unless broken.

Very technical market.
הערה
Moreover, very tricky and DANGEROUS unless > 24k can be achieved again.

תמונת-בזק

Watch it.
הערה
Looking at medium term: currently at lower BB on M, with huge volume in july.

תמונת-בזק

Letting alone short term, any further weakness would be an opportunity.
Mind that.
הערה
Upper limit of support area at 22400$ nailed tonight.
הערה
Bitcoin is poised to break soon the current 22-24k congestion range.

From here, as ETH, it *MAY* have a chance of a further challenge of resistance, given daily RSI is not yet overbought. Not granted though. Failing that bias would stay bearish, as long as divergence insists.

תמונת-בזק

More sideways would likely increase chances of a slump or a failed high.

All this said, watch out for triangle breakout.
It's likely to ignite a high volatility phase.
הערה
Challenging resistance now.
Eyes on volume.

Same on ETH.
הערה
No breakout nor volume.
Minor higher high on ETH.

Odds of a broader pullback increasing.
Taking a defensive stance till events.
הערה
Unsurprisingly.

Either this ascending triangle holds, leading to a further bounce or it fails leading to price visiting again the 21k range. Support close to 23k mark, with some room for intraday wicks.

תמונת-בזק

Caution, await test of the lower bound of the triangle.
הערה
A perfect wick at 22,66k.

תמונת-בזק

Bounce ongoing, but let's see D close, as we have to factor in exuberance after CPI data.
הערה
At marked resistance.

תמונת-בזק

Given low volume on last candles is pretty unclear whether that's an ascending triangle or a rising wedge.

A proper breakout needs rising volume.
הערה
Anyway, let's get back to the OP post and see the progress so far:

תמונת-בזק

It's pretty surprising price is STILL on the exact trajectory forecasted almost 2 month ago. It means a good part of this movement is basically technical.

Now it's likely to DIVERGE from that second arrow, as market actor scramble due to trend uncertainty.

What's important is to TEST the upper bound of that wedge somewhere, that's next meaningful event. The sooner the better, but it's up to market ro decide.
הערה
Slowing down, sllghtly diverging from target.

תמונת-בזק

I'll keep it short, as i'm in vacation.
I don't like what i see there.

Very risky, i'd recommend a defensive stance for the time being.
הערה
Sneak peek of the upcoming medium term analysis (M), currenlty in the works.
To be finalized in a couple weeks, when i get back from vacation.

תמונת-בזק

That's pretty bullish so far, question is if we get a further bear trap or not from here.
הערה
Still in vacation and zero changes in overall scenario, so far. Will comment in a week or so

Take care.
הערה
Bought back a trance at 19,6k
הערה
Update:

תמונת-בזק

Edge of upper liquidity area (may roughly pan down to 19,1k).
הערה
Chaikin money flow / W: longest time spent under zero since 2015.

תמונת-בזק

Given the historical precedents each further week passing by tends to increase the chances of nearing zero. Whatever the price.

You guess the outcome.
הערה
Just got back and saw this impulse down.
Bought 1 more lot at 18,82k, for starters.
הערה
1H: oversold and TD count 9. A bounce with a close over 19,1k would be interesting for the reason explained above.

Anyway, i'm here for accumulation.
הערה
Short term still weak, but i think about to bounce.
Medium term (M) context:

תמונת-בזק

About to decide the route.
הערה
That unprecedented RED TD count, paired with divergence, is what drives me to accumulation. High reward implies high risk, so DYOR.
הערה
Here is the expected bounce i mentioned below, in the comment section.
הערה
That's a pretty candle.

תמונת-בזק
הערה
PA is stretched already, but let's have a look at the broader scenario.

תמונת-בזק
הערה
Herere it is, above 22k and pretty close to resistance boundaries.
Very stretched, brace.
הערה
Contact.

תמונת-בזק

Let the battle begin.
הערה
Notjing meaningful, so far.
Still sideways within the upper liquidity zone, as you may notice by zooming out.

תמונת-בזק

Support running slightly above 19k.
Slight diveergence on 1H, patiently awaiting for an impulse.
הערה
Wick down, but nothing changed on W so far.

תמונת-בזק

So plan is unchanged.
הערה
Ok, recreation is likely almost over.

Come on, let's bounce, BTC.
הערה
תמונת-בזק
הערה
Awaiting monthly close.
הערה
Macro scenario assessment: monthly close at about 19,4k was sufficient to keep somewhat afloat of support, yet nothing more than decent.
Like kicking a can down the road.

It's a missed opportunity, because just a few hundred dollars (e.g. 20,1k) would have made a pretty substantial difference here.

Anyway, short term we stilll have a further opportunity painted on D.

תמונת-בזק

It all boils down to exploiting that resistance trendline on the 4th attempt. That should be achieved short term, possibly leveraging that ongoing spurious bullish divergence, given most indicators are pretty mixed or weak.

Key resistance area is about 20,1k $ on Bitcoin, 1400 $ on Ethereum.

Failing to overcome it would have consequences: while we would still retain meaningful divergences on both weekly and monthly, potentially acting as a "parachute", they would not prevent any bleeding / wicking down from support to the lower route area. Which would be pretty undesirable now, given the overall falling wedge is already approaching its apex.

Hence next 2/3 days are likely to be critical for the outcome of next few weeks.
הערה
Another observation, for those interested.

If you draw MACD VXI on 2W (a pretty high TF), you'll notice that a crossover may be inbound. Within 1-2 bars, possibly.

תמונת-בזק

Why MACD VXI ? Because it's similar to plain MACD, yet less lagging. Which is a pretty important factor dealing with high timeframes.

Mind the fact that such crossover happened only six times in Bitcoin history.

*Each and every time so far it *followed* a *significant low* within 5-8 bars, confirming (worst case) a local trend reversal.

We're close already to the 8 bars limit, so i'd watch it closely.
הערה
Ok, we're about to see movement:

תמונת-בזק
הערה
Watch it, don't be fooled by the lack of volatility.
Moments like this use to be turning points.

Be vigilant.
