BTC Futures Expectations: Anticipating the Next Market Moves

Two major macro events are now behind us; the Fed rate decision and more notably, the U.S. Presidential Election. With a clean red sweep, we have begun to see Scenario 1 play out from our previous post. However, given the surge of retail euphoria and excitement, this run towards the 90k mark was not entirely unexpected. November 11, 2024 has now set a crucial range for the weeks ahead.

Big Picture BTC Futures:


snapshot

Key Levels to Watch:

pATH support: 78,960 - 77,155
Key Bull Zone: 68,100 - 65,500
Yearly Mid: 67,375
Yearly VPOC: 68,100

Scenario 1 — Consolidation While Capped by Weekly High and Monday’s Range
In this scenario, we can expect further consolidation as more participants enter the market.
Based on our current expectations, BTC may consolidate near new ATHs and above key pATHs support. Perhaps we may see another bull flag formation, which may fail at first and test the key pATHs support before another upward move. Here, the key would be shaking out late breakout traders, with a possible dip before another move higher as outlined.


Scenario 2 — Euphoria Turns to Frustration and Shakeout for Late Breakout Traders
In this scenario, we expect a deeper pullback that could be more intense—shifting the euphoria into gloom. A bottom signal will likely emerge as market sentiment turns bearish. BTC futures could dip back to pATHs, followed by a quick V bottom recovery that tests the confluence of yVPOC, key bull support, and yearly midpoint.

Scenario 3 - Sustained Bullish Momentum to 100K
In this scenario, a bullish run continues towards the 100K mark before it starts to cool down and consolidate between 90K and 100K price levels. This is a warning for those trying to time a top in BTC futures. It is better to plan than to step in blindly and fire from the hip.
