Overall Market Evaluation by Josh
Josh's overall evaluation of the crypto market is currently bearish in the short term due to several factors, including a break below critical support levels on Bitcoin, negative news events like new tariffs, and the confirmation of bearish technical indicators. While there are some lingering bullish divergences on longer timeframes for Bitcoin, the immediate outlook suggests further weakness and potential pullbacks.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed
- Bitcoin's Breakdown: Bitcoin has officially broken below a crucial support area, invalidating an inverse head and shoulders pattern. This break has led to a significant liquidation of liquidity towards the downside.
- Tariff News Impact: New tariff announcements from the US president, particularly those affecting several European countries, are identified as a potential catalyst for the recent market dump. Tariffs are generally seen as market-negative, impacting riskier assets like crypto while potentially benefiting safe havens like gold.
- Technical Analysis of Bitcoin:
- Weekly Chart: The super trend indicator remains red, and a massive bearish divergence is still present.
- 3-Day Chart: A bullish divergence is still technically active and not yet invalidated, offering some hope for potential bullish relief or sideways action in the next one to two weeks.
- Daily Chart: The price is testing the crucial area between 92,000 and 94,000. The daily candle close below 94,000 has invalidated the inverse head and shoulders pattern. Holding above 92,000 is now key.
- 6-Hour Chart: A short-term bearish divergence has been playing out, indicating expected weakness. Resistance is expected around 94,000 if a bounce occurs.
- Liquidity Analysis: The Bitcoin liquidation heatmap shows significant liquidity building towards the downside, with a key target identified around 91,000 to 91,700, especially around 91,500.
- Josh's Trading Positions: Josh has closed his Bitcoin long position. He took profits at around 97,500 and has now exited the remaining position at break-even due to the invalidated pattern and downside liquidity. He is not currently in any long positions.
- Ethereum (ETH): ETH is rejecting from resistance around 3.3K to 3.4K. It has also broken below a crucial line around 3250-3260, similar to Bitcoin, indicating potential further downside. A brief touch of oversold conditions on the 3-hour RSI suggests a short-term relief bounce might occur, but significant bullish momentum is unlikely.
- Solana (SOL): SOL is rejecting from its resistance area between 143 and 147. It is also showing weakness and potentially breaking below support at 134. The next significant support is around 124-125. SOL remains in a broad sideways range.
- XRP: XRP has followed Bitcoin's dump, breaking towards downside support. It is testing previous support at around 2 to 2.05, which could now act as resistance. Significant resistance is also present at 2.17-2.18 and 2.30-2.40. XRP is expected to trade sideways in the short term as it stabilizes.
- Chainlink (LINK): LINK has also experienced a short-term dump. A bullish divergence has been invalidated, and a potential bearish divergence is forming, suggesting further weakness or choppy sideways action in the coming days.
- Bitcoin Dominance: Bitcoin dominance is showing a short-term bullish move but remains neutral in the larger trend. This suggests that major altcoins will likely follow Bitcoin's price action.
Important Insights
- The current market dump is attributed to a combination of macroeconomic news (tariffs) and technical factors (invalidated patterns, bearish divergences, liquidity buildup).
- Despite short-term bearish signals, a bullish divergence on Bitcoin's 3-day chart offers a glimmer of hope for a potential relief rally or sideways consolidation in the coming weeks.
- Liquidity levels are a critical factor, with a significant cluster of liquidations below the current price acting as a strong magnet for price discovery.
- Josh emphasizes the importance of watching Bitcoin's price action, as it heavily influences the movement of most altcoins due to Bitcoin dominance.
- He reiterates that while he is out of his current Bitcoin long position, he will transparently share any new trading opportunities or changes in his positions.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
- Josh's Bitcoin Position: Josh has closed his Bitcoin long position. He previously took profits at around 97,500 and has now exited the remainder of the trade at break-even. He is currently not in any long positions due to the invalidated pattern and downside liquidity.
