Crypto Market Analysis by Josh
Josh's overall evaluation of the crypto market, particularly Bitcoin, is cautious. He emphasizes that while there have been short-term bullish reliefs, the larger, longer-term trend remains bearish. This is primarily due to significant bearish divergences on higher timeframes. He stresses the importance of understanding the difference between short-term and long-term trends, with the latter still indicating weakness unless key resistance levels are broken.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed:
- Bitcoin (BTC):
- Currently bouncing from a support level between $85,000 and $86,000.
- Retesting a crucial short-term resistance line around $88,500 to $89,000.
- Weekly chart shows a continued bearish trend indicated by the Super Trend indicator and a massive bearish divergence.
- 3-day chart shows a short-term bullish relief due to oversold RSI, similar to mid-2022, but not an end to the bear trend. A potential bullish divergence is forming but not yet confirmed.
- Daily chart shows sideways consolidation between support ($85K-$86K) and resistance ($92K-$94K). A breakout above $94,000 would improve the larger picture.
- 6-hour chart shows a confirmed downside break of a triangle pattern with a technical target around $77,000-$78,000.
- Currently testing a descending line of previous support, which may act as resistance.
- A rejection from this line could present a shorting opportunity.
- A breakout above $88,500-$89,000 would invalidate the bearish scenario and triangle pattern.
- Bitcoin dominance is neutral, suggesting altcoins will likely follow Bitcoin's price action.
- Significant liquidity is building around $70,000.
- Ethereum (ETH):
- Officially confirmed a daily candle close below support at $3,040 ($3,000-$3,100 area).
- Expected resistance is now between $3,000-$3,100, then $3,250, and major resistance near $3,400.
- Support is expected around $2,900, with major support between $2,750-$2,800 and further support between $2,600-$2,650.
- 3-hour chart shows an oversold signal on the RSI, suggesting a high probability of short-term bullish relief or sideways consolidation in the coming hours/days, but not a massive upward momentum.
- Solana (SOL):
- Still finding support at $124.
- A daily or two-day candle close below $124 could lead to a drop towards $100-$105.
- A possible bullish divergence is forming on the 2-day chart (higher lows on RSI, potential lower lows on price), but it is not yet confirmed.
- Currently in a sideways price range between support at $124 and resistance at $143-$147.
- XRP:
- Testing a final significant support level on larger timeframes between $1.80 and $2.00.
- A break below $1.80, especially with a weekly close, could lead to a massive drop towards $1.60 and then $1.30-$1.40.
- A massive bearish divergence is still active on the weekly chart.
- Daily chart shows a new, but not yet fully confirmed, short-term bullish divergence. Confirmation requires 1-2 green candle closes.
- If confirmed, expect 1-2 weeks of short-term bullish relief or sideways consolidation, not the end of the larger bearish trend.
- Short-term resistance is expected between $2.00-$2.50 and major resistance around $2.15-$2.20.
- Chainlink (LINK):
- Confirmed a downside break below support at approximately $13.40.
- Expected resistance is now between $13.40-$13.50.
- Next major support is just above $12, between $12-$12.10.
- Short-term support is also found around $12.60-$12.70.
- Likely to follow Bitcoin's price action.
Important Insights:
- Timeframe Importance: Josh repeatedly emphasizes the distinction between short-term and long-term market trends. Short-term signals, like oversold RSI or potential bullish divergences, can provide temporary relief within a larger bearish trend.
- Bearish Divergences: The presence of massive bearish divergences on higher timeframes (weekly charts) for Bitcoin and XRP is a significant warning sign for the overall market.
- Support and Resistance Levels: Josh provides specific price levels for support and resistance for each asset, which are crucial for identifying potential trading opportunities and invalidation points.
- Confirmation is Key: He stresses the need for confirmation of price action (e.g., candle closes) and technical signals (e.g., divergences) before making trading decisions.
- Trading Strategy for Bitcoin: Josh outlines a potential trading strategy for Bitcoin: look for a short entry around the current retest level, and if a rejection is confirmed, open or add to a short position with a stop loss just above the invalidation point ($88,500-$89,000).
Trading Opportunities and Positions:
- Bitcoin (BTC) Shorting Opportunity: Josh suggests that if Bitcoin fails to get back above the descending line of previous support (around $88,500) and confirms a rejection, it could be a decent entry point for a short position, trading towards the bearish price targets (e.g., $77,000-$78,000). He would consider opening or adding to a short position under these conditions.

Overall Market Evaluation by Josh
Josh's current market evaluation indicates that Bitcoin is experiencing a bounce from a key support level but is retesting a crucial shorter-term resistance. The overall sentiment remains cautious, with significant attention on upcoming price action confirmations. While larger time frames still suggest a bearish trend for Bitcoin, shorter-term indicators are showing signs of potential relief or consolidation. The performance of altcoins is expected to closely mirror Bitcoin's movements due to a neutral Bitcoin dominance.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed
Bitcoin (BTC)
- Weekly Chart: The super trend indicator remains red, confirming a larger bearish trend or correction. The significant bearish divergence noted in previous analyses continues to influence price action on larger time frames.
- 3-Day Chart: A shorter-term bullish relief has been playing out, stemming from an oversold signal on the 3-day RSI, similar to mid-2022. This period has historically led to consolidation or a bullish bounce, not a trend reversal. A potential bullish divergence is forming, with higher lows on the RSI, but it requires confirmation of lower lows in price.
- Daily Chart: Bitcoin bounced precisely from the support zone between $85,000 and $86,000, as anticipated. The resistance remains firmly at $92,000 to $94,000. The daily chart currently depicts a sideways price range, suggesting a temporary pause from the larger bearish trend.
- 6-Hour Chart: The previously identified ascending triangle pattern broke to the downside, activating a bearish price target of $77,000 to $78,000. However, the price is currently retesting the broken support line (now acting as resistance), which is around $88,500. This retest is crucial: a rejection here could confirm the bearish target, while a breakout above $88,500, and especially above $89,000, would invalidate the bearish pattern. The RSI is approaching oversold conditions, contributing to the current bounce.
- Liquidation Heat Map: Significant liquidity is building near $70,000, which could be a longer-term target. Shorter-term support levels are noted at $85,000-$86,000, $80,000-$81,000, and $76,000-$77,000.
- Bitcoin Dominance: Remains neutral in the short term, indicating that altcoins are likely to follow Bitcoin's price action without significant outperformance or underperformance.
Ethereum (ETH)
- Daily Chart: Ethereum has officially confirmed a daily candle close below the support level of $3,000 to $3,100, which had held for nearly two weeks. This breakdown is a significant bearish development.
- Resistance Levels: Expected resistance is now at $3,000 to $3,100 (previous support), then $3,250, and major resistance at $3,400.
- Support Levels: New support is anticipated around $2,900. The next major support zone is between $2,750 and $2,800, with further support at $2,600 to $2,650 if the price falls further.
- 3-Hour Chart: An oversold signal has been confirmed on the 3-hour ETH RSI. Historically, this has led to a short-term bullish relief or sideways consolidation, but not necessarily a significant bullish trend reversal. Expectation is for a break from bearish price action in the coming hours or days.
Solana (SOL)
- 2-Day Chart: Solana is still holding support at approximately $124, a level that has been significant for months. A confirmed daily or two-day candle close below $124, without reclaiming it, would likely lead to a drop towards $100 to $105.
- Potential Bullish Divergence: A possible bullish divergence is forming, with higher lows on the 2-day RSI and potential lower lows in price. However, this is not yet confirmed as price action needs to confirm lower lows.
- Current State: Solana remains in a sideways price range between support at $124 and resistance at $143 to $147. Not much has changed recently.
XRP
- Weekly Chart: XRP is testing its final significant support level between $1.80 and $2. A confirmed weekly candle close below $1.80, without reclaiming it, would signal a massive bearish drop over the next several months. The massive bearish divergence on the weekly chart remains active.
- Potential Downside Targets: If XRP breaks below $1.80, targets are around $1.60, with major support at $1.30 to $1.40.
- Daily Chart: A new shorter-term bullish divergence has formed but requires further confirmation. This involves seeing higher lows in the daily XRP RSI by confirming a bounce with one to two green candle closes. If confirmed, it could lead to one to two weeks of shorter-term bullish relief or sideways consolidation, but not an end to the larger bearish trend.
- Short-Term Resistance: Expected resistance is between $2 to $2.25, with major resistance closer to $2.15 to $2.20.
Chainlink (LINK)
- Daily Chart: Chainlink has officially confirmed a breakdown below the support level of $13.40 to $13.50, which had acted as support for the past one to two weeks.
- Resistance: Resistance is now expected at $13.40 to $13.50 if any short-term bounce occurs.
- Support: The next major support level is just above $12, specifically between $12 to $12.10. Short-term support is also noted around $12.60 to $12.70.
- Outlook: Chainlink's price action is expected to closely follow Bitcoin and other major altcoins. A continued struggle or rejection for Bitcoin would likely lead to further bearish price action for Chainlink.
Important Insights
- Time Frame Consistency: Josh continues to emphasize the crucial distinction between short-term bounces and longer-term bearish trends, particularly for Bitcoin and XRP.
- Confirmation is Paramount: The current analysis heavily relies on waiting for confirmed candle closes or rejections to validate trading opportunities. The retest of the broken triangle support on Bitcoin is a prime example.
- XRP's Critical Juncture: XRP is at a particularly precarious point, with the $1.80 support being the last line of defense against a prolonged bearish trend.
- Altcoin Correlation: The neutral Bitcoin dominance reinforces the expectation that altcoins will largely follow Bitcoin's lead.
- Potential for Short-Term Relief: Oversold indicators on shorter time frames (e.g., ETH 3-hour RSI, XRP daily RSI) suggest a high probability of temporary bullish relief or consolidation for some assets.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
- Bitcoin (BTC):
- Short Opportunity: Josh is looking for an entry for a short position around the current retest level of the broken triangle support (approximately $88,500). A confirmed rejection from this level would validate the entry. A stop-loss should be placed just above the invalidation point (around $88,500-$89,000). This strategy aims to capitalize on the potential move towards the $77,000-$78,000 target.
- Invalidation of Short: A breakout and confirmed candle closes above $88,500, and especially above $89,000, would invalidate this bearish scenario.
- Ethereum (ETH):
- Short-Term Relief Trade: Given the oversold 3-hour RSI, a short-term trade aiming for a slight bounce or sideways consolidation is possible. This is not a long-term bullish signal, but a temporary relief from bearish pressure.
- XRP:
- Short Opportunity on Break: While not directly stated as an immediate trade, the analysis strongly implies that a confirmed break below $1.80 on the weekly chart would present a significant shorting opportunity with targets down to $1.30-$1.40.
- Short-Term Bounce Trade: If the daily bullish divergence confirms, a short-term long position could be considered for a bounce, but this would be within the larger bearish context.
