Overall Market Evaluation by Josh
Josh's overall evaluation of the market suggests a short-term bullish relief is likely across several cryptocurrencies, driven by a bounce in the US stock market. However, he emphasizes that the larger, longer-term trend for many assets, particularly Bitcoin and XRP, remains bearish. He advises traders to differentiate between short-term opportunities and the overarching bearish sentiment.
Key Topics and Insights
Bitcoin (BTC)
- Short-Term Bullish Signal: Bitcoin has bounced from a support level around $85,000-$86,000, confirming a new short-term bullish signal. Daily candle closes are still above this support.
- Resistance Levels: Expect significant resistance between $92,000 and $94,000. A more immediate resistance is around $89,300.
- Short-Term Price Action: Josh expects a bullish relief or sideways consolidation for the next few days, possibly continuing over the weekend.
- Larger Picture: The weekly Super Trend indicator is still red, indicating a larger correction or bearish market. A massive bearish divergence on the weekly chart remains active and un-invalidated.
- Liquidity: Short-term liquidity is building just under $91,000, above the immediate resistance but below the major resistance area.
- Bitcoin Dominance: Bitcoin dominance is trending bullishly in the short term, suggesting that major altcoins may underperform Bitcoin on average.
Ethereum (ETH)
- Short-Term Bullish Signal: Ethereum has also confirmed a new short-term bullish signal.
- Resistance Levels: The immediate resistance area to watch is between $3,000 and $3.1K. Above that, resistance is expected around $3.2K-$3.25K, and then significantly at $3.4K.
- Support Levels: The price bounced perfectly from support between $2,750 and $2.8K.
- Bullish Divergence: A bullish divergence has been confirmed on the 3-hour ETH chart, with lower lows in price and higher lows in the RSI. This suggests a likely slight bullish relief or choppy sideways price action in the short term.
- Correlation: Ethereum is expected to follow similar price action to Bitcoin and the stock market, indicating a likely short-term relief over the weekend.
Solana (SOL)
- Potential Bullish Divergence: Solana is flashing a signal that is very close to confirming a new bullish divergence on the daily chart. Lower lows have been confirmed in price, and higher lows are forming in the RSI.
- Short-Term Relief Expected: Josh anticipates a bullish divergence confirmation in the coming hours or days, signaling a likely relief in the short term, potentially over the next one to two weeks.
- Resistance Levels: If Solana breaks above $124, the next significant resistance is between $143 and $147.
- Previous Support: The price bounced from approximately $115-$116, following the bounce in other major cryptocurrencies.
XRP
- Closed Short Position: Josh has closed his XRP short position to break even due to the emerging short-term bullish signals. He may look to re-enter at a better entry point later.
- Larger Bearish Trend: The weekly XRP chart still shows a massive bearish divergence, indicating a multi-month pullback is still in play.
- Swing Trade Opportunity (Bearish): Josh is still considering a swing trade to the downside, targeting lower levels like $1.60 or $1.30-$1.40, but needs a break below $1.80 for confirmation.
- Short-Term Bullish Relief: A potential bullish divergence is forming on the daily XRP chart, suggesting a possible short-term bullish relief or test of resistance levels in the coming days or weeks.
- Resistance Levels: Resistance is expected around $1.94-$1.95, and more significantly between $2-$2.25. If price breaks above this, the next resistance is around $2.15-$2.20.
- Support Levels: Support is currently acting between $1.80 and $2.
Chainlink (LINK)
- Potential Bullish Divergence: A bullish divergence is likely about to confirm on the daily Chainlink chart, with lower lows in price and higher lows in the RSI.
- Short-Term Relief Expected: This signal suggests a likely slight bullish relief or sideways consolidation in the coming days or even one to two weeks.
- Support Levels: Significant support is around $12, where the price has bounced.
- Resistance Levels: Resistance is expected around $13.30-$13.50, and then closer to $14.90-$15 if the price breaks the first resistance level.
- Potential Bearish Pattern: There is a risk of a possible head and shoulders pattern forming. If the price rejects from resistance around $13.40 and falls back towards $12, a break below $12 would confirm this bearish pattern.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
- XRP Short Position: Josh has closed his XRP short position at break-even. He is considering re-opening a short position at a potentially better entry point in the future, targeting a larger downside move.

Market Overview by Josh
Josh's overall market evaluation is cautiously neutral to slightly bearish in the short to medium term. He notes that while larger timeframes still indicate bearish trends for some assets, short-term bullish structures and oversold indicators are emerging. The current market is characterized by anticipation, with major cryptocurrencies approaching critical decision points. The US stock market is showing a slight short-term bounce, which is providing some positive influence on crypto. Josh emphasizes that the next few days are crucial for determining the immediate direction of Bitcoin and, consequently, many altcoins.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed
- Bitcoin (BTC) Analysis:
- Short-Term Bullish Divergence Confirmed: On the 6-hour chart, Bitcoin has confirmed a bullish divergence with lower price lows and higher RSI lows. This is similar to a pattern observed in early November, which led to a short-term bullish relief.
- Daily Chart Support and Resistance: Bitcoin is currently bouncing from the support level between $85,000 and $86,000, which continues to hold. Resistance is expected between $92,000 and $94,000. The price is currently in a sideways range between these levels.
- Weekly Chart Bearishness: The weekly Super Trend indicator remains red, signaling a larger bearish trend. The massive bearish divergence noted previously is still active and has not been invalidated.
- 6-Hour Triangle Breakdown Target: The previously identified descending triangle pattern on the 6-hour chart had a bearish target of $77,000-$78,000. While a bounce is occurring, this target remains a possibility if the larger bearish trend reasserts itself.
- Liquidity and Short-Term Outlook: Liquidity is building around $90,800 to $91,000, just above current resistance. Josh anticipates a short-term relief bounce, possibly continuing over the weekend and into the new week, but expects struggle at resistance levels, particularly around $92,000-$94,000. He does not expect a breakout above this major resistance in the immediate days.
- Bitcoin Dominance: The Bitcoin dominance chart is showing a short-term bullish trend with higher lows and higher highs. This indicates that major altcoins, on average, are likely to underperform Bitcoin.
- Ethereum (ETH) Analysis:
- Short-Term Bullish Divergence Confirmed: Ethereum has confirmed a bullish divergence on the 3-hour chart, with lower price lows and higher RSI lows. This is an extension of a previous bullish divergence.
- Support and Resistance: ETH bounced precisely from the support area between $2,750 and $2,800. It is currently retesting the resistance between $3,000 and $3,100. A confirmed breakout above $3,100 would target $3,250, with significant resistance at $3,400.
- Short-Term Outlook: Similar to Bitcoin, ETH is expected to experience a short-term relief bounce or sideways consolidation over the next few days, potentially continuing over the weekend. This is not seen as a reversal of the larger bearish trend.
- Solana (SOL) Analysis:
- Near Bullish Divergence Confirmation: Solana has confirmed daily candle closes below the $124 support level. However, with the broader market bouncing, SOL is also experiencing a short-term bounce. This action is very close to confirming a bullish divergence on the daily chart (lower price lows, higher RSI lows).
- Short-Term Relief Expected: If confirmed, this divergence suggests a short-term relief or sideways consolidation is likely over the next few days to one or two weeks.
- Breakout and Resistance: SOL is attempting to break back above $124. If confirmed, it would re-enter the previous sideways range, with significant resistance expected between $143 and $147.
- XRP Analysis:
- Closed Short Position: Josh has closed his XRP short position at break-even due to the emerging short-term bullish signals and the broader market's relief bounce. He plans to look for a better entry point for a future short position.
- Weekly Bearish Divergence: The massive bearish divergence on the weekly XRP chart remains active, indicating a potential multi-month pullback.
- Short-Term Bullish Divergence Forming: A bullish divergence is forming on the daily XRP chart (lower price lows, higher RSI lows), which is likely to confirm soon. This suggests a short-term bullish relief of one to two weeks.
- Critical Support at $1.80: XRP is still holding above the critical support level between $1.80 and $2.00. A break below $1.80 with weekly candle closes would be a strong bearish signal, potentially leading to a significant multi-month drop.
- Resistance Levels: Short-term resistance is expected around $1.94-$1.95 and more significantly between $2.00 and $2.50.
- Longer-Term Outlook: Despite the short-term relief, the larger multi-month trend for XRP remains bearish.
- Chainlink (LINK) Analysis:
- Near Bullish Divergence Confirmation: A bullish divergence is forming on the daily LINK chart, with lower price lows and higher RSI lows. Confirmation is likely with the next daily candle close.
- Short-Term Relief Expected: This divergence suggests a short-term bullish relief or sideways consolidation over the coming days to one or two weeks.
- Support and Resistance: Support is holding around $12. Resistance is expected around $13.30-$13.50 and then $14.90-$15.
- Risk of Head and Shoulders: There is a risk of a bearish head and shoulders pattern forming if LINK bounces to resistance around $13.40, fails, and then breaks below $12.
Progressive Summary and Changes from Previous Analysis
- Shift in Tone: The overall tone has shifted from predominantly bearish to cautiously neutral to slightly bearish, with a strong emphasis on short-term bullish relief. This is a significant change from previous videos where the outlook was consistently bearish.
- Confirmation of Short-Term Bullish Signals: The key development in this video is the confirmation of short-term bullish divergences on Bitcoin (6-hour), Ethereum (3-hour), and near confirmation on Solana (daily) and Chainlink (daily). This contrasts with previous analyses that focused on ongoing bearish trends and unconfirmed divergences.
- XRP Short Position Closure: Josh has closed his XRP short position at break-even. This is a direct change in strategy from previous videos where he was actively holding a short position and looking for further downside. The reason for closure is the emerging short-term bullish divergence and the broader market bounce.
- Bitcoin's Support Holding: Bitcoin's crucial support at $85,000-$86,000 has held, preventing the breakdown that was a major concern in previous videos. This has led to a sideways range rather than a confirmed downtrend.
- Altcoin Performance: The analysis of Bitcoin dominance remains consistent, showing a bullish trend which indicates altcoins are likely to underperform Bitcoin. However, the emerging short-term bullish divergences in altcoins like ETH, SOL, and LINK suggest potential for short-term gains even if they lag Bitcoin.
- Overall Strategy: The strategy has shifted from actively looking for short opportunities in a confirmed downtrend to anticipating short-term relief bounces and waiting for better entry points for potential longer-term trades, especially for XRP. The emphasis on trading with the trend remains, but the current trend is seen as potentially pausing for a short-term bounce.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
- XRP Short Position Closed: Josh has closed his XRP short position at break-even. He is looking for a better entry point for a potential future short position, likely at higher resistance levels, to trade the longer-term bearish trend.
- Bitcoin: While a short-term bounce is expected, Josh does not anticipate a breakout above the $92,000-$94,000 resistance in the immediate days. He is not actively looking for long positions but is monitoring for potential short entries if resistance holds.
- Ethereum: Expected to see a short-term relief bounce. Josh suggests that the current price action, with its reset RSI and short-term bullish trend, could present an opportunity to accumulate, though it's not a guaranteed major upside move.
- Solana and Chainlink: Both are showing signs of potential bullish divergences. This suggests a short-term relief or sideways consolidation is likely. If these divergences confirm, they could present
