02/12/24 Weekly outlook
Last weeks high: $98,894.77
Last weeks low: $90,786.17
Midpoint: 94,840.47
Last week was all about altcoins as Bitcoin takes a backseat after a the "Trump pump" rally. Consolidating just under the 100K big even level has seen rotation into Ethereum finally and more surprisingly dino-coins such as XRP, LTC and more.
XRP has rallied to ATH (+300%) in less that 1 month, the news that Gary Gensler will be stepping down and with that the SEC's tirade on Ripple. The momentum and talk of the space is with XRP for now as it overtakes the Mcap of Tether to go 3rd! This comes at a time where typically BTC profits rotate into ETH and yet a lot of the capital has gone into XRP instead and so Ethereum is still way behind, BTC, SOL, XRP are all at ATH.
With the new month beginning we typically see a shaky start to the month, especially after such a strong close. The fear and greed index for BTC is @ 80, that's down from 94 in the week previous (mid November). The drop off is also evident in the BTC.D dropping 3% as alts move up.
This week I'm focused on where we are in the cycle, many alts are climbing and of course the 100K event for BTC. I believe we are not anywhere near the cycle top, any on-chain indicator would support that but that does not necessarily mean we aren't close to a local top. A strong bearish divergence has emerged on the weekly and that is cause for concern, overbought RSI high fear and greed and euphoric sentiment on the TL. Any new longs are extremely risky for now (LTF not HTF) without any fresh bullish news events. Price currently at midpoint, hard to tell how deep the monthly open sell-off will be, a quick wick with fast recovery will be bullish but a slow bleed would be more worrisome.

הערה
Good reaction off the midpoint of the range, any strong rejection off the 0.75 line would be the start of a LTF bearish structure. הערה
Second visit of the midpoint, this time a wick below making a new LL and the structure now looking more bearish. הערה
Great resilience by BTC, now looking to reclaim monthly open at ~$96,500
A reclaim of this level would be bullish
הערה
Services PMI & FED chair Powell speak today so some news events but nothing too crazy to be expected.
Rumours of RSR project advisor Paul Atkins being nominated for SEC chair to replace Gary Gensler, maybe we'll get confirmation of that soon. RSR pumped +200% on reports.
הערה
Now retesting monthly open as support הערה
2 taps on 100K then blasted right through, a truly historical moment!!
