Overall Market Evaluation by Josh
Josh's overall evaluation of the market, particularly for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, is cautiously optimistic in the short term, while acknowledging underlying bearish signals on longer time frames. He sees Bitcoin bouncing from a crucial support level, which, combined with positive short-term signals and strength in the US stock market, suggests a potential for a "bullish relief" or "choppy sideways price action" over the next few days. However, he stresses that this is a short-term outlook and longer-term bearish divergences remain a concern.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed
- Bitcoin's Short-Term Bounce: Bitcoin is showing a bounce from a critical support level around $85,000-$86,000 on the daily time frame. This bounce is supported by a newly confirmed bullish divergence on the 6-hour chart.
- Ethereum's Critical Juncture: Ethereum is at a "make or break" moment, retesting a previous ascending line of support on the daily chart. A confirmed breakout above $2,940 could invalidate recent bearish signals, while a rejection would confirm further downside. Ethereum has also confirmed a bullish divergence on the 6-hour chart, mirroring Bitcoin's signal.
- XRP Holding Support: XRP is bouncing from its final significant support level around $1.80. While a bearish divergence on the weekly chart persists, holding this support is seen as positive in the short term, potentially leading to a slight bounce. A break below $1.80, however, could trigger a significant collapse.
- Solana and Chainlink Following Bitcoin: Both Solana and Chainlink are exhibiting price action that largely follows Bitcoin. Solana is holding support around $117-$118, with potential resistance at $124-$125. Chainlink has confirmed a bullish divergence on the 6-hour chart, suggesting a short-term relief or choppy sideways movement, with resistance expected around $12-$12.10.
- US Stock Market Influence: The US stock market (S&P 500) is showing a short-term bullish move, heading towards all-time highs. This can provide a positive backdrop and potentially help Bitcoin and the broader crypto market in the short term.
- Bitcoin Dominance Neutral: The Bitcoin dominance chart is trading sideways, indicating that major altcoins may perform similarly to Bitcoin on average.
- Longer-Term Bearish Divergences: On longer time frames (e.g., weekly for Bitcoin), bearish divergences are still present and have not yet been invalidated, suggesting potential underlying weakness in the bigger picture.
Important Insights
- Short-Term Relief Expected: The confluence of bouncing from support, confirmed bullish divergences on shorter time frames, and a positive stock market suggests a likely "bullish relief" or "choppy sideways price action" for Bitcoin and most major altcoins over the next few days. This is not expected to be a high-momentum upward move, but rather a break from recent bearish momentum.
- Liquidity as a Magnet: Josh highlights that Bitcoin's price tends to be drawn towards areas of high liquidity, both above and below the current price. Key liquidity zones to watch are $85.8K-$85.9K (downside) and $91.3K-$93.3K (upside), with specific concentrations around $92,000 and above $93,000.
- Ethereum's Critical Decision: The next 1-2 days are crucial for Ethereum as it retests a key ascending support line. The outcome of this retest will significantly influence its short-to-medium term trajectory.
- XRP's $1.80 Support: The $1.80 level is a critical support for XRP. While a bounce is occurring, a sustained break below this level would be a strong bearish signal.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
Josh does not explicitly state any personal trades or positions he has made in this transcript. However, he outlines potential short-term trading opportunities based on his analysis:
- Short-Term Bitcoin Relief Trade: The confirmed bullish divergence on the 6-hour Bitcoin chart, combined with bouncing from support and the positive stock market, suggests a potential for a short-term upward move or sideways consolidation. Traders can look for opportunities to profit from this relief.
- Ethereum Breakout/Rejection Trade: Traders can watch Ethereum's retest of the $2,940 level. A confirmed breakout above this level could present a long opportunity, while a rejection could lead to a short opportunity or staying out of the market.
- XRP Bounce Trade: With XRP holding support at $1.80, a short-term bounce is possible, offering a potential trading opportunity. However, the risk of a breakdown below $1.80 remains significant.
Short-Term Market Moves
Josh strongly believes there is a possibility for a short-term move in the market, specifically a "bullish relief" or "choppy sideways price action" over the next few days. This is driven by several factors:
- Bitcoin's Bullish Divergence: A new bullish divergence has been confirmed on the 6-hour Bitcoin price chart, indicating a potential shift from bearish momentum.
- Support Bounces: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP are all bouncing from significant support levels.
- US Stock Market Strength: The S&P 500 is showing a short-term bullish move, which can positively influence crypto markets.
- Ethereum's Bullish Divergence: Similar to Bitcoin, Ethereum has also confirmed a bullish divergence on its 6-hour chart.
- Chainlink's Bullish Divergence: Chainlink has also confirmed a bullish divergence on its 6-hour chart, reinforcing the short-term positive sentiment.
This short-term relief is not expected to be a massive rally but rather a break from the recent selling pressure. The next few days are critical for confirming these short-term trends.

Overall Market Evaluation by Josh
Josh's current market evaluation is cautiously optimistic for the short term, indicating a potential relief rally or choppy sideways price action for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. This is primarily driven by Bitcoin bouncing from a crucial daily support level around $85,000-$86,000 and the confirmation of a bullish divergence on the 6-hour chart. The positive movement in the US stock market (S&P 500) also provides a short-term tailwind. However, Josh reiterates that the longer-term outlook on the daily timeframe remains concerning due to repeating bearish historical patterns and a significant bearish divergence on higher timeframes. He emphasizes that any short-term upside movement should be viewed as a "relief" rather than a strong bullish trend reversal.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed
- Bitcoin's Short-Term Bounce and Bullish Divergence: Bitcoin has found support around $86,000-$87,000 and has confirmed a bullish divergence on the 6-hour chart (lower price lows, higher RSI lows). This suggests a potential short-term upward movement or at least a pause in the bearish trend.
- Bitcoin's Sideways Range and Historical Parallels: Bitcoin remains within its established multi-month sideways range, with resistance at $92,000-$94,000 and support at $85,000-$86,000. Josh continues to draw parallels between current price action and the market structure observed in early Q2 2022, which preceded further downside.
- US Stock Market Influence: The S&P 500 is showing a short-term bullish move, which is seen as a positive catalyst for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market in the immediate short term.
- Ethereum's Critical Juncture: Ethereum is retesting a previous ascending line of support around $2,940 on the daily timeframe. This is a critical "make or break" level; a close above it would invalidate the recent breakdown and signal a short-term bullish move, while rejection could confirm further downside. Ethereum has also confirmed a bullish divergence on its 6-hour chart, mirroring Bitcoin's signal.
- XRP Holding Final Support: XRP is bouncing from its final significant support level around $0.180. While a massive weekly bearish divergence persists, holding this support is crucial. A break below $0.180 would be a significant bearish signal. The current bounce is expected to be a short-term relief.
- Solana Following Bitcoin: Solana is mirroring Bitcoin's price action, showing short-term bounces. Key support is at $117-$118, with a potential drop to $100 if this level fails. Resistance is eyed at $124-$125, then $133-$134.
- Chainlink's Similar Action: Chainlink is also following Bitcoin's lead, showing short-term relief and a confirmed bullish divergence on the 6-hour chart. Resistance is expected at $12-$12.10, then $12.70-$12.80.
- Bitcoin Dominance Sideways: Bitcoin dominance is trading sideways, indicating that major altcoins are likely to perform similarly to Bitcoin on average. A slight drop in dominance suggests altcoins could slightly outperform Bitcoin in the short term.
- Liquidity Levels as Targets: Downside liquidity is building below $86,000 (around $85.8K-$85.9K), and upside liquidity is present between $91.3K-$93.3K. These levels are highlighted as potential price targets due to their magnetic effect.
Important Insights
- The current analysis reinforces the idea of a short-term relief rally driven by technical signals (bullish divergences) and external factors (stock market).
- The long-term bearish outlook for Bitcoin, based on historical patterns and higher timeframe divergences, remains a primary concern.
- Ethereum's ascending support line is a critical determinant of its immediate future direction.
- XRP is on a critical support level, and any break below it would be a strong bearish signal.
- The expected short-term moves are characterized as "relief" or "choppy sideways price action," not strong bullish momentum.
- Liquidity levels are important as they can act as magnets for price action.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
Josh does not explicitly state new personal trading positions in this video. However, the analysis suggests potential opportunities:
- Short-term Long/Buy on Relief: The confirmed bullish divergence on Bitcoin and Ethereum, coupled with the bounce from support and stock market strength, suggests a potential for a short-term long position or buying into the relief rally. Specific entry points would be based on the bounce from the $86,000-$87,000 support for BTC and the retest of $2,940 for ETH.
- Shorting on Rejection: The identified resistance levels ($90,000-$90,500 and $94,000 for BTC; $3,040-$3,100 for ETH; $124-$125 for SOL; $1.94 and $2.00-$2.25 for XRP; $12-$12.10 for LINK) represent areas where short positions could be considered if price action fails to break through and shows signs of reversal.

Progressive Summary: What's New and Changed
This video marks a shift in tone from the predominantly bearish outlook of the previous few videos. While the long-term bearish concerns persist, the immediate focus is on a potential short-term relief rally. This is a significant change from the previous videos which heavily emphasized impending crashes and fakeouts.
- New Signal: The confirmation of a bullish divergence on the 6-hour Bitcoin and Ethereum charts is the key new development. This was not present in the previous analyses, which were dominated by bearish signals.
- Shift in Short-Term Outlook: Previous videos highlighted the possibility of short-term bounces but always with a strong caveat of them being temporary and leading to further downside. This video presents the short-term bounce as a more likely scenario, driven by technical confirmation.
- Consistency in Long-Term Bearishness: The underlying bearish sentiment for the daily and weekly timeframes remains consistent, with references to historical patterns and bearish divergences still being made.
- Ethereum's Status: In previous videos, Ethereum was often described as breaking down or facing significant resistance. This video highlights Ethereum's critical retest of its ascending support line as a "make or break" moment, with the potential for a bullish confirmation if it holds.
- XRP's Support Holding: While XRP was consistently identified as being on critical support with a high risk of breakdown in previous videos, this video notes that the support is currently holding, providing a temporary reprieve, though the bearish divergence remains.
Potential Future Trading Opportunities/Strategies
Based on Josh's analysis, the following trading opportunities and strategies could emerge:
- Long on Altcoins if BTC Continues Relief: Given that Bitcoin dominance is sideways and Bitcoin is showing signs of a short-term relief, and altcoins like ETH and LINK have also confirmed bullish divergences, there's a strong opportunity to go long on
