Up to a new trading week! Its time for a reversal upwards into at least some sort of a short term bounce, problem remains the high open interest on (leveraged) longs. As a bull you need to understand that leveraged bears are your friend and leveraged bulls are your enemy. Too many leveraged longs only serve as exit liquidity for big players (that are still in profit) as well as market maker shorts. Remember the market maker is always on the opposite side of the contract. So what can we expect this week?
Well, for sure, we will see some sort of test towards the upside towards the 43K zone and if it holds we should test key resistance at 45K as well. However, when and how this will happen will determine if this is a true trend or just a dead cat bounce (short term bounce and a further dump to the downside). What the bulls want to see are the following scenarios:
- Bearish price action today and possibly leading into monday as well with a possible reversal to the upside on Tuesday and Wednesday after a last test of the order block in the 40K zone. (scenario 3)
- Green price action today, coming back down this evening, pick up BTC1! at the start of the Asian session and going into scenario 3.
A bearish outlook would give us the following scenario:
- A short term red opening of the trading week, tapping liquidity below before a massive impulse to the upside on Monday and Tuesday tapping key resistance around 45K by Wednesday. The whole market will bounce hard, retail will be euphoric, I already see the "you sold the bottom" posts incoming... Though Wednesday and the stock market will determine if that "bottom" was really the bottom. If(!) we get rejected at 45K and form a peak formation there we could definitely end the week red and BTC could drop below 40K, invalidating the "bottom" and potentially finally taking out the remaining leverage longs that have been built over the last 4 to 6 weeks(!). (scenario 4)
Both scenarios are plausible, however I tag this idea as long because of the short term bounce that is expected for the market regardless of what happens in the mid term. I do not think touching leverage is a good idea nor will it be helpful for your hodl positions, if you still have any. We want to look out for the scenarios above and react instead of predict and pay special attention to the stock markets across the globe for the coming week!
Good luck!
