Overall Market Evaluation by Josh
Josh's overall market evaluation is cautiously optimistic for the short term, with a focus on potential relief bounces rather than a full-blown bullish reversal. He believes that the recent drop in Bitcoin was primarily a liquidity grab, designed to shake out weak hands. While the larger, multi-month outlook remains bearish, Josh sees an opportunity for a short-term bounce or sideways consolidation in the coming days to weeks. This short-term outlook is supported by several factors, including oversold conditions on daily RSI indicators, Bitcoin holding crucial support levels, and a slight bounce observed in the US stock market, which tends to correlate with crypto movements.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed
- Bitcoin's Recent Action: Bitcoin is bouncing from a crucial support area after a short-term drop. Josh believes this drop was a liquidity grab, targeting a significant level of liquidity around $73.1K.
- Fractal Repetition: Josh continues to emphasize the idea that Bitcoin's current price action is repeating historical patterns, particularly resembling the price action seen in the first half of 2022. This fractal suggests a period of choppy sideways consolidation or a slight bounce is likely in the coming days or weeks.
- Short-Term Trading Opportunity: The main trading opportunity identified is a short-term bounce or bullish relief. Josh explicitly states that he does not expect a huge bullish reversal or a move to all-time highs in the immediate future.
- US Stock Market Correlation: The S&P 500 experienced a short-term drop followed by a slight bounce, which Josh notes is highly correlated with the crypto market. This correlation suggests that a similar bounce in crypto is also probable.
- Technical Indicators:
- Weekly Timeframe: The super trend indicator is still red, and bearish divergence is actively playing out.
- Daily Timeframe: Bitcoin is holding above previous lows around $74k-$75k. The daily Bitcoin RSI is oversold, and previous instances of this have led to short-term bounces.
- 3-Day Timeframe: Bitcoin is testing a significant support zone between $72,000 and $76,000. The possibility of bullish divergence is being monitored, but it's not yet confirmed.
- Ethereum (ETH): ETH is holding a major support area between $2150 and $2250. The daily ETH RSI is oversold, suggesting a potential short-term bounce similar to Bitcoin. The 3-day timeframe shows ETH testing support between $2.2K and $2.4K.
- XRP:
- Weekly Timeframe: A massive bearish divergence is still active, indicating no immediate large bullish trend reversal. Josh expects resistance around $1.80 and support at $1.60, with the next significant support at $1.30-$1.40.
- Daily Timeframe: The daily XRP RSI is oversold, suggesting a potential short-term bounce or choppy sideways action for the next few days or weeks.
- Solana (SOL): SOL is approaching a major support area between $95 and $105. A break below $95 could lead to a move towards $75-$80, and a break below $75 could see a significant drop to $45-$50.
- Chainlink (LINK): LINK is holding major support around $9.50. Similar to other altcoins, a short-term relief bounce or choppy sideways action is expected, but the bigger picture remains uncertain. A break below $9.50 could lead to a drop towards $8-$8.50, and further breakdown to $5-$5.50.
- Bitcoin Dominance: Bitcoin dominance is currently in a sideways, range-bound chop, erasing previous gains and losses.
Important Insights
- Short-Term Relief, Not a Bottom: Josh repeatedly stresses that any anticipated bounces are short-term relief and not a confirmation of the market bottom. He advises against expecting massive bullish reversals in the near future.
- Liquidity Grabs: The recent price action in Bitcoin is interpreted as a deliberate liquidity grab, designed to trigger stop-losses before a potential bounce.
- Fractal Analysis: The repetition of historical price patterns is a key element of Josh's analysis, suggesting that similar outcomes to past periods (like the first half of 2022) are likely.
- Hedging Strategy: Josh's new Bitcoin long position is also serving as a hedge against his existing XRP short position, providing a way to profit regardless of short-term market direction.
- Diversified Profitability: Josh emphasizes his ability to profit in both bullish and bearish market conditions, showcasing his long and short positions.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
- New Bitcoin Long Position: Josh has opened a new $200,000 Bitcoin long position minutes before recording the video. This trade is aimed at profiting from the anticipated short-term bounce or bullish relief expected in the next 1-2 weeks. He does not expect this to be a long-term hold.
- Entry: Immediately prior to recording.
- Target: Josh plans to take profit or reduce his position size around the $79,000 resistance level.
- Current Status: Already heading into profits.
- Existing XRP Short Position: Josh is still in his XRP short position, which he entered previously.
- Current Profit: Approximately $5,000 USD in realized profits and $2,000 USD in unrealized profits, totaling close to $7,000 USD.
- Strategy for Further Bullish Relief: If XRP continues to see bullish relief, Josh may close the current short position and open a new one at a higher price, or add to the existing short from a higher point.
Short-Term Move Possibilities
Josh strongly believes there is a high probability of a short-term move in the market, specifically a bounce or a period of choppy sideways consolidation. He details this as follows:
Bitcoin: A short-term bounce or choppy sideways price action is highly likely over the next few days to weeks. This is supported by the daily RSI being oversold and the price holding significant support. The recent drop is seen as a liquidity grab, and the subsequent bounce is expected to continue for a short duration.
Ethereum: Similar to Bitcoin, Ethereum is expected to follow its price action. A choppy sideways range or a slight bullish relief is anticipated in the short term.
XRP: The daily XRP RSI being oversold suggests a short-term bounce or choppy sideways price action is likely for a period of days or possibly weeks.
Solana and Chainlink: Both are expected to experience a slight short-term relief bounce or choppy sideways price action.

Overall Market Evaluation by Josh
Josh's current market evaluation is that Bitcoin is experiencing a bounce from a crucial support area after a liquidity grab. While the larger timeframes still indicate a bearish trend with a confirmed bearish divergence on the weekly chart and the Super Trend indicator in the red, the short-term outlook suggests a potential relief rally or choppy sideways price action. This short-term optimism is driven by Bitcoin holding key support levels, hitting oversold conditions on the daily RSI, and mirroring historical patterns from May 2022. He emphasizes that this is not a long-term bullish reversal but a temporary break from the prevailing bearish trend, lasting for the next few days to a couple of weeks. He also notes the correlation with the US stock market, which is also showing a slight bounce after a recent drop.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed
- Bitcoin (BTC):
- Current Situation: Bouncing from a significant support area between $72,000 and $76,000 after a liquidity grab around $73.1K.
- Fractal Pattern: Still repeating the price action observed in May 2022, suggesting a potential continuation of sideways consolidation or a slight relief bounce in the coming days or weeks.
- Technical Indicators:
- Weekly chart: Super Trend indicator remains red; a massive bearish divergence is actively playing out.
- Daily chart: RSI is in oversold territory, historically leading to short-term bounces, but not a bottom signal. Price action is mirroring the first half of 2022.
- 3-Day chart: Testing major support between $72,000 and $76,000. A bullish divergence is being monitored, but its confirmation is uncertain depending on the upcoming candle close.
- Liquidity Grab: The recent drop was likely a liquidity grab to clear out positions around $73.1K before the bounce.
- Short-Term Outlook: Expectation of choppy sideways action or a slight relief bounce for the next few days to two weeks, not a strong bullish reversal.
- Ethereum (ETH):
- Current Situation: Still holding major support between $2,150 and $2,250.
- Technical Indicators: Daily RSI is oversold, indicating potential for short-term relief. The 3-day chart's bullish divergence is not confirmed due to recent price action.
- Outlook: Expected to follow Bitcoin's price action, suggesting choppy sideways movement or a slight bullish relief in the short term.
- XRP:
- Weekly Timeframe: A massive bearish divergence is still active, indicating no significant bullish trend reversal on larger timeframes is expected soon.
- Support and Resistance: Resistance expected around $0.180 (confirmed weekly close below). Support at $0.160, with the next significant area at $0.130 to $0.140. A break below $0.130 targets $0.090.
- Daily Timeframe: RSI is oversold, suggesting a potential short-term bounce or choppy sideways action for a period of days or weeks.
- Outlook: The larger picture remains bearish. Short-term relief bounces are possible, but the overall trend is down.
- Solana (SOL):
- Support: Running into major support between $95 and $105. A break below $95 with weekly candle closes could lead to a move towards $75-$80, and further breakdown to $45-$50.
- Outlook: Similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum, expecting a short-term relief, but the bigger picture remains bearish.
- Chainlink (LINK):
- Support: Hanging onto major support around $9.50.
- Bearish Scenario: A confirmed break below $9.50 could lead to a move towards $8-$8.50. A break below $8 could target $5-$5.50. This could also confirm a massive head and shoulders pattern.
- Outlook: Expecting a slight little relief in the short term (choppy sideways or slight bullish relief), but the bigger picture is not good.
- Bitcoin Dominance:
- Current Situation: Rangebound, chopping around sideways, erasing previous gains and losses.
- Implication: Suggests major altcoins will likely perform similarly to Bitcoin, without a distinct altcoin season.
Important Insights
- Short-Term Relief vs. Long-Term Bearish Trend: Josh repeatedly stresses the distinction between short-term bounces and the overarching bearish trend. He advises caution against interpreting short-term movements as a definitive bottom.
- History Repeating (Fractals): The current Bitcoin price action is still seen as mirroring patterns from May 2022, reinforcing the bearish outlook for the longer term.
- Liquidity as a Driver: The recent drop was identified as a liquidity grab, with prices moving to clear out positions around $73.1K, which also acts as a significant support level.
- Oversold Conditions: Daily RSI across BTC, ETH, and XRP being oversold suggests a higher probability of short-term bounces, but these are not strong reversal signals.
- Hedging Strategy: Josh is using a short-term Bitcoin long position as a hedge against his existing XRP short position to profit regardless of short-term market direction.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
- New Bitcoin Long Position: Josh has opened a new $200,000 Bitcoin long position, aiming to profit from the anticipated short-term relief bounce over the next 1-2 weeks. He plans to take profits at resistance levels like $79,000 and not necessarily close the entire trade at any single level. This is a short-term position.
- Existing XRP Short Position: Josh remains in his XRP short position, with approximately $5,000 USD in realized profits and $2,000 USD in unrealized profits (totaling close to $7,000 USD). If XRP experiences a further short-term bullish relief, he may close the position and re-enter at a higher price, or add to the existing short position.
- Potential for XRP Re-entry: If XRP sees a bullish relief, Josh might look to close his current short and open a new one at a higher price, or add to his existing position.
Comparison with Previous Summaries and What's New
- Consistency in Bearish Outlook: The overarching bearish sentiment for the larger timeframes, especially for Bitcoin and XRP, remains consistent with previous analyses (Videos 1, 2, 3). The bearish divergence on the weekly Bitcoin chart and XRP's repeating history are still key themes.
- Shift in Short-Term Strategy for Bitcoin: The most significant change is Josh's proactive opening of a new short-term Bitcoin long position. Previously, the focus was on anticipating relief bounces without actively taking long positions, or being cautious with short-term plays. This new trade signals a conviction in the immediate relief rally, especially after the liquidity grab.
- Confirmation of Previous Predictions: The analysis of Bitcoin hitting support, the daily RSI being oversold, and the potential for a short-term bounce aligns with predictions made in Video 1, 2, and 3. The liquidity grab at $73.1K also confirms the mention of liquidity pools in Video 3.
- XRP Position Unchanged: The XRP short position remains consistent with the strategy discussed in Videos 2 and 3, with profits taken and managed. The plan to potentially add to the short or re-enter at higher levels during a relief bounce is also consistent.
- Altcoin Outlook Remains Subdued: The general outlook for altcoins (Solana, Chainlink) continues to be that they will likely follow Bitcoin's movements, with no immediate expectation of an altcoin season, consistent with previous summaries.
- Technical Levels: Key support and resistance levels for BTC, ETH, and XRP remain largely consistent with the previous videos, with current price action interacting with these levels. The $72,000-$76,000 support for BTC and $2,150-$2,250 for ETH are still critical.
- Fractal Pattern Continuation: The emphasis on Bitcoin repeating the May 2022 fractal pattern is a continuing theme from Video 1 and 3.
Guestimate of Next Trading Opportunities/Strategies
