Overall Market Evaluation by Josh
Josh's overall evaluation of the market is cautiously neutral to slightly bearish in the short to medium term, with specific opportunities and risks highlighted for individual cryptocurrencies. He emphasizes the importance of upcoming price action confirmations and potential breakouts or breakdowns across major assets. While acknowledging larger bearish trends on weekly charts for some assets, he points to short-term bullish structures and oversold indicators that could lead to temporary relief or continuation of upward momentum. The dominant theme is the anticipation of a significant move as converging price patterns force a decision.
Key Points and Main Topics Discussed
Bitcoin (BTC)
- Weekly Chart: Super trend indicator is red, indicating a larger bearish trend or correction. A massive bearish divergence is still influencing the price on the larger timeframe.
- 3-Day Chart: Playing out an oversold signal in the RSI, similar to mid-2022, which historically led to sideways consolidation or a bullish relief. This has been playing out for almost 3 weeks and could continue for another week.
- Daily Chart: Struggling at a major resistance area between 92,000 to 94,000. This has been a warned-about resistance zone.
- Support Levels: Potential support at 85,000 if the price drops significantly. Short-term ascending line of support near 88,000 to 88.5K. Horizontal support based on recent lows around 89,120.
- Short-Term Bullish Structure: Forming higher lows on the 6-hour chart, indicating a bullish ascending triangle pattern.
- Breakout Scenario: A confirmed breakout above 94,000 with candle closes holding above this level would target 107,000. Resistance also exists between 106,000 to 107,000.
- Intermediate Resistance: Potential resistance around 99,000 to 100,000 even after a breakout.
- Imminent Decision: The ascending triangle is tightening, forcing a decision on breaking resistance or support within approximately one week.
- Trading Opportunity: Josh anticipates a trading opportunity once the breakout or breakdown is confirmed.
- Liquidation Heat Map: Liquidity sitting just below the price at 89,000 suggests a potential slight dip and bounce. Significant liquidity also noted just under 95,000, hinting at a potential breakout.
- Bitcoin Dominance: Relatively neutral in the short term, lacking strong bullish or bearish momentum. This implies altcoins will likely perform similarly to Bitcoin.
Ethereum (ETH)
- Crucial Support: Retesting a crucial level between 3,000 to 3.1K, which needs to hold to maintain the short-term bullish structure.
- Breakdown Scenario: A confirmed daily candle close below 3,000, and failure to reclaim it, would likely lead to a drop towards 2.7K.
- Resistance Levels: Resistance expected around 3.4K, 4K, and closer to 3.6K to 3.7K.
- Pullback Reason: Current pullback is due to Bitcoin struggling at resistance and an overbought signal on the RSI that has now reset.
- 4-Hour RSI: Closer to oversold than overbought, indicating more room to the downside but also significant room for upside.
- Short-Term Bullish Trend: Forming higher lows and higher highs on smaller timeframes (4-hour).
- Potential Accumulation: The current price action, coupled with the reset RSI and short-term bullish trend, could present an opportunity to accumulate Ethereum.
- Hidden Bullish Divergence: Potential hidden bullish divergence forming with higher lows in price and lower lows in RSI, suggesting trend continuation if confirmed by price action.
- Dependency on Bitcoin: Ethereum's performance is tied to Bitcoin; a Bitcoin breakdown could negatively impact ETH.
Solana (SOL)
- Sideways Price Range: Continuing to trade within a defined sideways range for weeks.
- Support: 124 to 128.
- Resistance: 143 to 147.
- Outlook: Expected to remain in this sideways range for the coming days, looking relatively neutral in the short term.
XRP
- Crucial Weekly Level: Testing a crucial level just below $2 (around $1.80 to $2). This has been the baseline support for the structure formed since the beginning of the year.
- Bearish Breakdown Scenario: Breaking below $1.80 with weekly candle closes and failing to reclaim it would be a strong bearish signal, likely leading to a massive drop for months.
- Historical Parallel: Compares this situation to the breakdown below 50-60 cents in 2021-2022, which led to a significant price drop.
- Hope for Bounce: Currently not broken, so there is still hope for a bounce like previous instances.
- Larger Bearish Divergence: A massive bearish divergence on the weekly timeframe is still active and influencing the price.
- Short-Term Weakness: Showing weakness in the short term with gathering bearish momentum.
- Overall Bigger Picture: Not looking good for XRP in the bigger picture.
- Short-Term Support: Near-term support at around $2 and $1.94.
- Final Significant Support: $1.80 is the final significant support; breaking this level will lead to much lower prices.
- Warning: Josh issues a strong warning about a potential massive crash in XRP over the next few months if it breaks below $1.80.
Chainlink (LINK)
- Sideways Price Range: Trading within a new sideways range.
- Support: Around $13.40.
- Resistance: Around $15.
- Outlook: Neutral in the short term, with active bullish divergence not yet invalidated.
- Expectation: More choppy sideways price action is likely, especially if Bitcoin remains in its range.
- Potential Boost: A Bitcoin breakout above resistance could help Chainlink test other resistance points.
Important Insights
- The market is currently in a period of consolidation and anticipation, with major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin approaching critical decision points.
- The next few days to a week are crucial for determining the short-term direction of Bitcoin and, consequently, many altcoins.
- Technical indicators like RSI and chart patterns (ascending triangles, divergences) are key to identifying potential trading opportunities.
- While larger bearish trends exist for some assets (e.g., Bitcoin on weekly, XRP), short-term oversold conditions and bullish structures can lead to temporary upside or sideways movement.
- XRP is at a critical juncture, with a breakdown below $1.80 posing a significant risk of a prolonged bearish trend.
- Altcoin performance is largely correlated with Bitcoin's movements in the short term, especially when Bitcoin dominance is neutral.
Trading Opportunities and Positions
Josh explicitly mentions that once a breakout or breakdown in Bitcoin's ascending triangle is confirmed, it could present the next potential trading opportunity, which he will share on the channel. He also suggests that the current price action for Ethereum, with its reset RSI and short-term bullish trend, could be a decent opportunity to accumulate. He also hints at potential trading opportunities in his videos on how to trade bullish, bearish, and sideways price action.
