Market Overview and Crypto Analysis
Josh provides an update on the crypto market, highlighting ongoing bearish signals and the continuation of the current downtrend. He emphasizes the importance of the Bitcoin dominance and the arbitrage opportunity in crypto funding rates. Josh has significantly increased his position sizes to take advantage of this arbitrage, now totaling $4 million. He expects choppy sideways price action in the short term for Bitcoin and other altcoins.
Bitcoin Analysis
- Weekly Chart: The supertrend indicator is green, indicating a larger bull market. However, a new bearish divergence is potentially hours away from being confirmed, with a lower high in the RSI. This could lead to a slowdown in the next 1-2 months.
- Daily Chart: The pattern is similar to the beginning of the year, with a massive top signal repeating. The crucial support level is between $107,000 and $108,000. Breaking below this level, especially with daily candle closes, could indicate a significant drop.
- 4-Hour Chart: Bitcoin is in an oversold condition. Expecting choppy sideways price action in the short term. A slight pullback to fill the candle wick towards the downside is possible.
- Short-term prediction: Expect relatively boring price action, mostly chopping around sideways for the next one day.
Ethereum Analysis
- 3-Day Chart: Potentially hours away from a 3-day candle close below a key support area between $3,900 and $4,100. If that area flips into new resistance, it may lead to a longer-term bearish trend that could last for weeks or months.
- 8-Hour Chart: Stabilizing in the short term, with choppy sideways price action expected. A new bullish divergence is confirming, possibly leading to a slight bounce.
- Short-term resistance: Expect some short-term resistance around $3,870 (previous low) and further resistance at $4,060-$4,100.
Bitcoin Dominance Analysis
- Overall: Josh is still more bullish than bearish on the Bitcoin dominance.
- Resistance: Bitcoin dominance could start to struggle around 60.5% to 61%.
- Prediction: Expect at least some sort of bullish relief for the Bitcoin dominance, meaning that altcoins will likely underperform Bitcoin.
Altcoin Analysis (Solana, XRP, Chainlink)
- Solana (2-Day Chart): Confirmed a two-day candle close below the support area of $190-$200. Expect strong resistance in this area if there is a bounce. Expect support at $170. If that level breaks, the next support area is between $143-$146. The larger price structure has changed from a bullish trend to a bearish one.
- Solana (4-Hour Chart): Expecting choppy sideways price action.
- XRP (Weekly Chart): The massive bearish divergence is still playing out.
- XRP (Daily Chart): Broke below a crucial area of support. In the short term, expect either a slight bounce or mostly choppy sideways price action. Expect resistance between $2.70-$2.80, and more resistance between $3.10-$3.15.
- Chainlink (Daily Chart): The larger price structure is still bearish. In the immediate short term, expect a bit of a bounce or relief from the bearish price action. Support is at approximately $17.40-$17.50, and below that at $15.20-$15.60. Resistance is at $19-$20.
Arbitrage Opportunity: Crypto Funding Rates
Josh is still exploiting the arbitrage opportunity in crypto funding rates, specifically between the negative funding rates on exchanges like Binance, OKX, and Bybit, and the positive funding rates on Bitex, using Solana (SOL). He has increased his position sizes to $4 million total, with a $2 million short position on Bitex and a $2 million long position on Bybit, both at 5x leverage. This strategy is delta neutral, profiting from the funding rate differential regardless of price movement.
- Bitex (Short): $2 million short position in SOL.
- Bybit (Long): $2 million long position in SOL.
- Profit Calculation: Based on current rates, Josh is making approximately $8,700 USDT per day. The annualized interest rate is almost 80%.
- Exit Strategy: He will exit the trade when the funding rates become closer together, for example, within 0.02% of each other.
- Trading Strategy: To take this opportunity, short and long positions must be open on different exchanges. The long position can be on an exchange with negative funding rates (e.g., Bybit), and the short position on an exchange with positive funding rates (e.g., Bitex).
