Overall Market Evaluation by Kyle
Kyle's overall evaluation of the crypto market is cautiously optimistic in the short to medium term, while acknowledging a larger bearish trend on weekly timeframes. He sees Bitcoin being squeezed between support and resistance, with significant liquidity building above current price levels. The upcoming FOMC meeting is identified as a key catalyst for short-term volatility, with the market largely pricing in a 0.25% interest rate cut. This rate cut is expected to be bullish due to cheaper capital. For the immediate short-term (next 1 day), Kyle anticipates "boring" price action due to low weekend volume, but expects volatility to pick up on Monday and Tuesday as markets open and leading up to the Fed meeting.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed
-
Bitcoin Short-Term Squeeze and Resistance: Bitcoin is currently consolidating, being squeezed between a higher low structure and a significant resistance area.
-
Upcoming FOMC Meeting: A key event in approximately 3 days, with an 86% chance of a 0.25% interest rate cut. This is expected to be bullish due to increased liquidity.
-
Weekly Bearish Trend vs. 3-Day Oversold Signal: While the weekly chart shows a larger bearish trend and divergence, the 3-day chart indicates an oversold signal, suggesting a potential short-term relief rally.
-
Bitcoin Support and Resistance: Support is seen around $85,000, with resistance between $92,000 and $94,000.
-
Potential Bitcoin Breakout Opportunity: The repeated testing of the $92,000-$94,000 resistance area is weakening it, increasing the probability of a breakout.
-
Bitcoin Liquidity Heatmap: Significant liquidity is building above $94,000, suggesting a potential target for price action.
-
Weekend vs. Weekday Volatility: Expect low volume and boring price action over the weekend, with increased volatility expected from Monday/Tuesday onwards and especially around the FOMC meeting.
-
Ethereum (ETH) Retesting Support: Ethereum is retesting a crucial support level between $3,000 and $3,100. A break below this could lead to a drop towards $2,800.
-
Ethereum Short-Term Cool-off: The 4-hour RSI showed an overbought signal, predicting a short-term pullback, which has now played out.
-
Solana (SOL) Sideways Range: Solana is trading in a short-term sideways range between support at $124-$128 and resistance at $143-$147.
-
XRP Weekly Bearish Divergence and Daily Bullish Divergence: XRP still has a large bearish divergence on the weekly chart, but a smaller bullish divergence on the daily chart is playing out as choppy sideways action. A dip below $1.94-$1.95 could extend this bullish divergence.
-
Chainlink (LINK) Retesting Support: Chainlink has retested a previous Fibonacci resistance level, now acting as support, between $13.40 and $13.50. It also has an active bullish divergence.
Important Insights
-
Rate Cuts and Market Impact: An interest rate cut makes capital cheaper, injecting more money into the economy and markets, which is generally bullish for risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
-
The "Calm Before the Storm": The current weekend is described as a period of low volatility, with significant market-moving events (US stock market opening and FOMC meeting) expected in the coming days.
-
Weakening Resistance: Repeated testing of a resistance level can weaken it, increasing the likelihood of a breakout.
-
Liquidity as a Target: Significant liquidity build-up above price levels often acts as a magnet for price action.
-
Divergences as Indicators: Both bullish and bearish divergences on RSI are discussed as indicators of potential trend changes or continuations, with different implications for short-term and long-term timeframes.
-
Altcoin Performance: With neutral Bitcoin dominance, altcoins are expected to perform similarly to Bitcoin in the short term.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
-
Bitcoin Breakout Opportunity: A potential trading opportunity exists if Bitcoin confirms a breakout above $94,000. The next target for this breakout scenario is between $99,000 and $100,000.
-
Ethereum Support Test: If Ethereum breaks below $3,000, a short-term bearish move towards $2,800 is possible.
-
XRP Potential Lower Low: If XRP dips and confirms a daily candle close below $1.94-$1.95, it could form a new bullish divergence or extend the existing one with a lower low in price while RSI makes higher lows.
-
Chainlink Support Hold: If Chainlink holds above the $13.40-$13.50 support level and Ethereum continues to hold its support, a slight bullish relief is possible.
Short-Term Move Possibilities
Kyle anticipates a significant increase in volatility in the "next few days" leading up to and following the FOMC meeting. Specifically, he notes that for the remainder of the weekend (next 1 day), price action is expected to be "very boring" and range-bound due to low volume. However, starting Monday and Tuesday, especially with the US stock market opening, volatility could increase. The FOMC meeting itself is a major catalyst for short-term moves.
Regarding a potential short-term move in Bitcoin, Kyle highlights the area between $92,000 and $94,000 as a key resistance. He notes that a lot of liquidity is building just above $94,000 (around $94.5k). He suggests that in the coming week, there could be another retest of this resistance, potentially heading towards that liquidity to take it out. If a confirmed breakout above $94,000 occurs (candle closes and holds above), the next target is $99,000 to $100,000. This breakout scenario is presented as a potential trading opportunity.
For Ethereum, Kyle mentioned that after playing out an overbought signal on the 4-hour RSI, a slight pullback and cool-off were expected, which has occurred. He reiterates that for the next 1 day, boring price action is likely, continuing this cool-off. However, looking at the next 1-2 weeks, he sees a "shorter-term bullish relief or short-term bullish trend" with higher lows and highs, but acknowledges potential setbacks like the current cool-off.

📈 Progressive Summary
Kyle's Current Market Evaluation and Evolution
Kyle's current market evaluation remains predominantly cautious, leaning bearish, but with a noticeable shift towards anticipating short-term bullish relief driven by upcoming macroeconomic events. This contrasts with his previous, more strongly bearish outlook where he saw a significant breakdown in Bitcoin and expected further downside. While the overarching bearish trend on larger timeframes persists, the immediate focus is on potential volatility around the upcoming FOMC meeting. He acknowledges the possibility of a short-term bounce, particularly if an interest rate cut is announced, which he believes is not yet fully priced in. However, he reiterates that this is likely to be a relief rally rather than a confirmation of the end of the larger bearish trend.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed
- Upcoming FOMC Meeting: The imminent FOMC meeting, scheduled in approximately three days, is identified as a significant short-term catalyst. The market is pricing in an 86% chance of a 0.25% interest rate cut. Kyle suggests that if this rate cut occurs, it could lead to bullish price action due to cheaper capital and increased liquidity entering the markets. He explicitly states that the market has not fully priced in this event, implying potential for upward movement.
- Bitcoin Analysis:
- Larger Timeframes: The super trend indicator remains red on the weekly chart, confirming a larger bearish trend or correction. A significant bearish divergence on much larger timeframes is still playing out, indicating weakness and a lack of bullish momentum for at least weeks, and likely months.
- Shorter Term: On the 3-day chart, a short-term oversold signal in the RSI suggests a potential relief rally in the coming weeks, not necessarily the end of the bear trend. This aligns with the recent choppy, sideways price action observed.
- Current Squeeze: Bitcoin is currently in a short-term squeeze between a higher low structure and significant resistance around $92,000 to $94,000.
- Breakout Potential: Despite the resistance, the formation of higher lows in the short term is a positive sign. Kyle notes that repeated testing of resistance weakens it, increasing the probability of a breakout. A confirmed candle close above $94,000 could target $99,000 to $100,000.
- Liquidity: A significant amount of liquidity is building above $94,000, suggesting a potential retest of this resistance level and a move to capture that liquidity.
- Weekend Outlook: Expect very boring, low-volume price action for the remainder of the weekend. Volatility is anticipated to pick up on Monday and Tuesday as the US stock market opens and leading up to the Fed meeting.
- Ethereum (ETH) Analysis:
- Crucial Support Retest: ETH is retesting a crucial support level between $3,000 and $3,100. This area previously acted as resistance and is now being tested as support.
- Bearish Scenario: A daily candle close below $3,000, without a reclaim, would be a bearish signal, potentially leading to a drop towards $2,800 and then $2,600.
- Resistance Levels: Resistance is expected around $3,250 to $3,300, and then higher at $3,600 to $3,700.
- Short-Term Cool-off: A recent overbought signal on the 4-hour RSI indicated a need for a cool-off, which has played out as predicted with a slight pullback.
- Shorter-Term Bullish Relief: ETH is currently in a shorter-term bullish relief, forming higher lows and highs, but experiencing a temporary setback.
- Chain Link (LINK) Analysis:
- Bullish Divergence: LINK technically still has an active bullish divergence.
- Target Reached and Retest: A W-pattern target of $15 was hit, leading to a rejection. The price has now come back to retest a previous Fibonacci level acting as support at $13.40 to $13.50.
- Neutral Outlook: Similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum, LINK is expected to see neutral, boring price action for the next day or two, with increased volatility anticipated closer to the Fed meeting.
- Positive Outlook with Rate Cut: If an interest rate cut occurs and no extreme events unfold, LINK could continue its short-term relief, especially while holding above the $13.40-$13.50 support.
- Resistance: Resistance is expected near $15 and more significantly between $15.20 and $15.70.
- Solana (SOL) Analysis:
- Sideways Range: SOL continues to trade within a short-term sideways range between support at $124-$128 and resistance at $143-$147.
- Larger Bearish Trend: The larger price structure remains within a larger bearish trend.
- No Significant Change: Not much has changed for SOL, and it's expected to remain in this sideways range for the next couple of days.
- XRP Analysis:
- Long-Term Bearish Divergence: A massive bearish divergence on the weekly timeframe is still active and influencing price over multiple months, a prediction Kyle made months ago.
- Daily Bullish Divergence: A shorter-term bullish divergence on the daily timeframe has mostly played out as choppy sideways action.
- Potential for Lower Lows: A daily candle close below $1.9495 could lead to a new bullish divergence or an extension of the current one with a lower low in price, provided higher lows form in the RSI.
- Support and Resistance: Support is found around $2 to $2.50 (currently being tested), $1.9495, and $1.82. Resistance is around $2.20.
- Short-Term Neutrality: Expect somewhat neutral, boring price action for the remainder of the weekend, following Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- Bitcoin Dominance: Bitcoin dominance is currently neutral with no strong trend or momentum in either direction, suggesting that major altcoins will likely perform similarly to Bitcoin.
- Stocks and Forex: The DXY is approaching a multi-decade trendline, with a break below potentially leading to 89. The stock market (S&P 500) continues to grind upwards, with $6,900 being a key level to flip into support. Crypto stocks, however, are noted as "very very very weak," with Coinbase threatening to break down to $60.
- Security: A concerning security incident involving the theft of $40 million in Bitcoin by the son of a CEO of a company safeguarding US Marshals' Bitcoin is highlighted. Kyle strongly advises prioritizing security, recommending NordVPN for soft wallets and Ledger for hard wallets.
Important Insights
- Evolution of Outlook: The most significant shift is from a predominantly bearish stance to one that anticipates short-term bullish relief due to macroeconomic factors, while maintaining the long-term bearish outlook on larger timeframes.
- Rate Cuts as Bullish Catalysts: The market's pricing of interest rate cuts is a key factor driving Kyle's short-term bullish expectations. He emphasizes that the full impact of the anticipated cut may not yet be reflected in prices.
- Short-Term Relief vs. Long-Term Trend: The current analysis clearly distinguishes between short-term trading opportunities (potential relief rallies) and the overarching long-term bearish trend on higher timeframes.
- Importance of Macroeconomics: The FOMC meeting and interest rate decisions are now central to short-term market analysis, highlighting the increasing influence of macroeconomic factors on crypto prices.
- Altcoin Performance Tied to Bitcoin: With Bitcoin dominance being neutral, altcoins are expected to mirror Bitcoin's price action, offering little independent upside potential in the immediate term.
- Security is Paramount: The reported security breach serves as a stark reminder of the critical importance of safeguarding crypto assets.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
- Bitcoin Breakout Trade: A potential trading opportunity exists on a confirmed breakout above $94,000, targeting $99,000 to $100,000. This is contingent on a confirmed candle close above $94,000.
- Ethereum Support Trade: If ETH holds the $3,000-$3,100 support level, a bounce towards $3,250-$3,300 could be anticipated. A break below $3,000 would invalidate this and suggest a move lower.
- Chain Link Retest Trade: With LINK
