Hello Lads and Ladies,

Welcome back to TJ’s TA sessions.- The Daily BTC Update

What happened in the last 24h?
Finally, one of our lower orders are starting to fill and we are getting ready for the short squeeze. By now, it is only a matter of time when short are going to get trapped and liquidated.
We saw a wonderful low volume dump. Nothing interesting happened there in my opinion. We liquidated around 10 million Longs and had two market shorts of each above 5 million at the very bottom around 3714$ (how to get trapped 101). Nevertheless, a reason that I am elaborating on for this dump is a the very steep decrease in the Funding Rate. Which is again increasing by a lot and we are seeing a small movement upwards.

Most important S/R right now?
3434 3550 3666 3730 3820 3950 4077 4123 4169 4382 4658

Gained lost %?
Since the opening of the new daily, we wicked down -6.41%, but gained 0.25%

MarketCap?
Total MarektCap is 121 Billion – lost 6 –
Of wich BTC is 65 Billion – lost 3 –
With a Dominance of 54.2%
– Today’s dump seems to have downed more alt coins than just bitcoin

Volatility?
The 30d avg Volatility is 5.53%
– +0.01 –

Shorts/Longs?
Shorts – 35.7k (danger-zone)
Longs – 26.9k (solid)
– S +1.2 / L +0.1 –

Funding?
The last 3 funding rates added -> -0.05%
– -0.21 -> lost a lot –

Momentum?
The TJ-Momentum is still red but very low. As soon as we see it green, it will be a rising momentum and it will be a bullish sign for bitcoin . Until then we need to keep a tighter Stop Loss and lower leverage as well as margin.

Volume?
We are STILL waiting for a big volume breakout. Today, as mentioned low volume dump. We are forming a n-formation, which is very divergent to our chart and price.

TJ-MF/StochRSI levels?
TJ-MoneyFlow -We are still below the 0 line. Yet the money Flow is heading down. This is again not favouring the direction that we are going towards right now. Once more shoring us a divergence.
StochRSI (still trending up)
K(blue) – 77
D(orange) – 56

Divergences?
I am still seeing the volume going sideways bit the price going down. The same with the price going down and the TJ-Stoch going up as well as the TJ-MoneyFlow continuing up. A big move is still incoming, indicators are rather showing us the possiblity for a move upwards to test the resistance at 4.4k.

Market Structure?
Right now we are on lower timeframes in a falling wedge , with decreasing volume and decreasing price. With a high chance we will see the breakout upwards. We are still heading for that double bottom , which would ultimately align all starts in one line.

Overall?
We are definitely in a bear market and definitely have to fight the very strong bearish sentiment in the market. Moreover, we see a lot of dumps and breaking horizontal supports and a negative momentum, which is why we are saving us with a protective stop loss at this moment. Nevertheless, we are seeing a lot signs that are pointing up. We have so many shorts and from what I see right now, every time we get into that 35k region, next day the are getting liquidated, lets see if tomorrow we will see a nice push, with the increased funding rate and the low volume dump. As you see I am still definitely keeping my long position. I will not be the one shorting a possible bottom below 4k.
Please note: I am still having orders below and am following a proper risk management with a low margin and low leverage. I am basically happy when we move down.

What do we want?
We want to stay above and close the daily above 61.8%, once again heading to close above it would be really nice. This time it would be 3800$. This might give us a bull hammer and a pretty nice indication for a solid long.

Position?
Keeping the Long position. Still not convinced of a short position. STILL READY for a possible test of 3400$, without panicking.

Entry at 3.8k is ok
Entry at 3.7 is good
Entry below 3.6 is very good

Ether Price Analysis: Eve and Adam Could Be Turning Back the Bulls

Ether Price Analysis

Since bottoming out around $200, ether has spent several weeks bouncing back and forth inside an ascending channel:

For the last month and a half, ether’s trend has been contained within the bounds of this ascending channel, where it has continued its bullish rally. However, today (as of the time of this article) it is starting to make moves to aggressively test the lower boundary. Specifically, as ether tests this channel, it is forming a potential reversal pattern called an Eve-and-Adam Double Top.

Figure_2 (12).JPGFigure 2: ETH-USD, 1-Hour Candles, Eve-and-Adam Double Top

At the time of this article, ether is attempting to break the neckline (the pink dashed line) of the massive reversal pattern. Should ether break this neckline, the measured move from this pattern is a $30 move downward, which would ultimately shove ether outside the bullish ascending channel it has been trending within. The price target of the Double Top breakout would bring the ETH-USD price into the upper $200s.

On a macro scale, ether has support along the following Fibonacci levels:

Figure_3 (12).JPGFigure 3: ETH-USD, 4-Hour Candles, Fibonacci Levels

Should the ascending channel break, the above Fibonacci levels will provide support and will need to be tested in order to prove a bearish continuation. As of the time of this article, the Double Top mentioned in Figure 2 is sitting right on the 23 percent retracement values where it is making attempts at breaking it. There is strong support at these values, so if ether can break and hold below $315, it will send a strong bearish signal to the market.

Should the Double Top complete, we can expect a test of the 38 percent retracement values following the break of the ascending channel. At this time, the 4-hour MACD is showing strong bearish momentum on a macro scale, and the market is picking up sell volume.

Summary:

  1. For weeks, ether has been trending within an ascending channel.

  2. Ether is currently in the process of making a strong test of the ascending channel via an Eve-and-Adam Double Top reversal pattern.

  3. If the Double Top breaks downward, we can expect a break of the multi-week bullish channel and a test of the 38 percent Fibonacci Retracement values.
