Bitcoin bull market 2021The main support and resistance levels of Bitcoin during 2021 mapped out. Our top for 2021 is in at 69K, the question remains what we could expect for 2022. In my opinion we could expect more downside unless we break resistance and close 2 consecutive weeks above the bull market support band (now at 52,5K).
Like I said in my last idea, we have been in a mark up phase for 3 years now, starting in December 2018 which ran all the way to November 2021. Every mark up phase is followed by a mark down phase and we already extended 6 more months compared to the 2017 cycle. Given 99% of retail did not take profits because "this time it's different" - I do expect a capitulation during 2022 - although price does not necessarily have to stay below the current resistance trendline. A relief rally will come, whether in January after a further correction in the coming weeks or vice versa. All in all, I think 2022 will be a tough year for the bulls. I look forward to how price action will develop over the holidays and Q1 2022 and I expect opportunities between Q2 and Q4 2022 for those who have buying power.

Bearmarket
Target - Corporate earnings season resemblant of the bear marketYesterday, Target announced its earnings for the third quarter of 2022. The report outlined softening sales and profit trends with downgraded guidance going forward. Total revenue and cost of sales increased year over year, while net earnings and EPS fell dramatically for that same period. Subsequently, shares of Target fell more than 13% in the pre-market trading. Target is yet another company that fulfills our prediction about a weak corporate earnings season and progression into the second phase of the bear market. We expect this trend to worsen in the next earning season and further enforce our thesis.
Total revenue = $26.518 billion (+3.4% YoY)
Cost of sales = $19.680 billion (+8.1% YoY)
GAAP Earnings per share = $1.54 (-49.3% YoY)
Operating income = $1.022 billion (-49.2% YoY)
Net earnings = $712 million (-52.1% YoY)

The image above shows the daily chart of Target. Yellow arrows indicate previous earnings reports and subsequent price action.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI and Stochastic reversed to the downside. MACD flattens, and if it breaks below 0 points, it will bolster the bearish case. DM+ and DM- performed a bearish crossover. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI, MACD, and Stochastic show signs of exhaustion. DM+ and DM- are bullish. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish.

$BTCUSD: Monthly view...Friendly reminder that the trend is down long term...Here's how the monthly chart looks in $BTCUSD as of right now. Unless this month's range is wiped out, you can expect continued downside for months to come with substantial certainty. Don't fight the trend, remember what Old Turkey would say: well, it's a bear market after all. So much filth is gradually being exposed, and a lot more dominoes will fall into place if we continue falling:
Miner capitulation: no sign of abating, will accelerate below 14200 (see all earning reports for publicly traded mining firms, all at risk due to being leveraged long $BTCUSD with $BTCUSD / ASIC collateral pretty much. Tough time to service debt with higher rates, and less availability of credit. (rising credit spreads) They might be forced to puke out of their Bitcoin positions at whatever price...
Saylor at risk below 13500: $MSTR might be at risk of collapsing the lower we go, which charts suggest we will, can cause a flood of supply hitting the market, same as miners selling or worse.
Mt Gox repaying creditors?
Contgion is the name of the game: 3AC, Terra, FTX, BlockFi, Genesis... Silvergate next? Tons of bad credit and leverage built into the system are gradually being unwind, nowhere near done.
Regulatory risk increasing by the hour.
Stablecoins at risk as well...Talk of CBDCs accelerating, which might or might not matter much, but worth monitoring.
What am I missing?
Feel free to comment with interesting bits and pieces of info so that we can complete the puzzle here. It's in flux but the trend is clearly not positive for crypto here.
Best of luck!
Ivan Labrie.
XRP 2022-2023 Head & ShouldersAre we seeing a possible head and shoulders forming here? This could be an interesting pattern with everything that is happening in crypto given the FTX collapse/contagion and other possible toxic accounts that have not been revealed that could be the last leg in bringing crypto to the last shakeout in this market. Target price with this pattern is around $0.13
UA: Raalies will be capped?!Under Armour Inc
Intraday - We look to Sell a break of 7.81 (stop at 8.89)
Remains bearish. A move higher faces tough resistance and we remain cautious on upside potential. We continue to expect further gains to be limited and look to set shorts for a further drive lower within the channel. A break of 7.80 is needed to confirm follow through negative momentum.
Our profit targets will be 5.29 and 4.00
Resistance: 8.20 / 11.00 / 14.00
Support: 6.00 / 5.00 / 4.00

$10,000 Bitcoin In Play, Crypto Winter Is Here, $20k Resistance.In this video I am highlighting how we may see a $10,000 Bitcoin this cycle due to where we are at on the weekly oscillators and the very negative macro conditions effecting the market. We may get a retest back to the $19,000 level on the daily but $20,000 is now serving as a major resistance. I believe it is unlikely that we get above a $20,000 Bitcoin anytime soon but I could be wrong. These next couple of months are looking pretty weary for cryptocurrency right now. Especially the events around FTX could have cascading effects across the entire ecosystem. This is still the beginning.
As bad as all this is it is good for cryptocurrency and will only make Bitcoin and the ecosystem more resilient. This needs to happen for us to get a major reset in the market. I do personally believe there will be very exciting buying opportunities in the near future and we will have another major bull cycle. But as of now we are heavily entrenched in this bear market and we're still going through this cycle. Be careful out there. Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency isn't dead.
Much peace, love, health, and wealth! Trade safe.
Is it Time to get Bullish?Man...what a crazy week last week. With the Elections, CPI and the drama with FTX, it was a rollercoaster for sure. The FTX story was something else. But you know, during recessions, entities get exposed. Same thing happened with Enron in the 2000 bubble, the banks in 2008-2009 and now crypto. As the famous Warren Buffett quote says: "A rising tide floats all boats....only when the tide goes out, you discover whos been swimming naked.".
So let's recap a little what happened last week. I've been bearish the last few weeks and I had to be since we are in a bear market. With the Elections, FTX and the CPI report, the market was going to make a decision on the direction and the CPI report was what did it. With the gap up and 7% day on Thursday, it broke out of resistance and the downward trend line. The Dollar got crushed and bonds declined by 7%. That's mostly what fueled the rally. The market has been longing a reason to party because inflation peaked. Did they party to hard Thursday and Friday? Thursday, markets chugged 3 beers.Friday, took a shot of whiskey and said "I'm ready for more next week".
So look, I know inflation is still at 7% and we still need a ways to get down to the Fed's 2% target. It's a tough pill to swallow if you were bearish. But, you gotta trade the markets in front of you. Especially if the charts are telling you to go bullish. Generally the week before Thanksgiving is a good week for the markets, just not sure how much higher we can go this week because the markets used up A LOT of energy Thursday and Friday. It needs to take a break. If the market wants to party the rest of this month, I don't see why it could crawl it's way to 4100 before the next CPI report. One thing to note is tomorrow's PPI report. If this report comes in hotter, everyone who bought last week might step back a little. So if that happens, this would pull back the markets. If it doesn't come in hot, then we might head higher at a slow pace the rest of the month.
Plan for today: Going to sit on my hands today and wait for tomorrow. If PPI comes in hot and we get a big downward reaction in the markets, I'll watch the price action to see if this is a Bull pull back or not. Come Wednesday or Thursday, I'll see if there's a good entry for a bullish position. Be patient, stay disciplined, control your emotions and trade the market in front of you. Happy trading!
😵 Bitcoin (BTCUSD) - Could drop as low as $5000! Here is a macro timeframe Bitcoin chart since inception, highlighting key levels of Fibonacci, which result in Golden Ratio numerals. Whilst nobody wants to admit it, we are facing a potential low as far as $5000 if we do not find support this week at the 14/15k levels that are likely going to be tested. Stay safu.

5 LESSONS from the Bear MarketHi Traders, Investors and Speculators 📈📉
Ev here. Been trading crypto since 2017 and later got into stocks. I have 3 board exams on financial markets and studied economics from a top tier university for a year. Daytime job - Math Teacher. 👩🏫
Bearish markets are a normal part of the economic cycle, but even after years and years of repeating processes and patterns, it can still be hard to embrace.
The real value of a bear market may be that it gives investors the opportunity to gear up for the next cycle, in other words to accumulate and buy in cheap. It also helps you see the importance of managing your risk and diversification. For example - let's say you've invested 100% of your free cash into Bitcoin. IF Bitcoin were to trade sideways or lower for a longer period, lets say months, you have no capital left to invest in other potential opportunities. You are also missing out on rallies that may be happening across other markets. Your portion of diversification is definitely dependent on your initial capital investment, but try to diversify as far as your capital allows.
For savvy investors, a bear market also creates a period for looking beyond emotional headlines and studying the hard facts — facts that can ultimately place them in a position to take advantage of coming opportunities. Periods of falling prices are a natural part of investing in the stock market. Bear markets follow bull markets, and vice versa. They are considered the “ebb and flow” of wealth accumulation.
Now, let's take a look at 5 Things YOU should remember during the Bear Market :
❗ Periods of falling prices are a common part of investing / speculating
❗ An investment’s value will be greatly influenced by fundamental factors, and sometimes fundamental factors is enough to create a bullish or bearish market for that assets and related assets
❗ Diversification , (even though it does not protect anyone against losses), often provides the safest haven against the ebb and flow of fluctuating markets
❗ Invest over time, rather than make single lump-sum purchases. In other words, falling prices are the friends of dollar cost averaging investors
❗ Take a long-term view when investing in the stock market. Short-term fluctuations are natural. Try to invest in projects that are undervalued , rather than jumping in whilst a coin is in the middle of a parabolic rally.
Check out this idea on ETH that covers dollar-cost-averaging:
Remember that you’ll be bombarded with all kinds of economic information during both bear and bull markets. There will be reports, for example, about inflation, interest rates, and unemployment figures that may encourage you to either give up on the market or invest in it. To avoid being lured to either extreme, develop a financial strategy that accounts for risks you find comfortable. Then trust yourself and stick with the plan.

ZZZzzzZZZzzz at 3800Good morning! Here we are, Election Day has passed and we get the CPI report tomorrow. Couple things about the Mid Terms. Generally, the markets like it when Democrats have partial control and Republicans partial control. The expectations are, that the Republicans will win the House. If that happens, that could be a good thing for the markets. At the time of writing, Republicans have 199, Democrats 172 and 64 are undecided for the House. Gotta see how that plays out. Because here's the thing. Let's say the Republicans take the House and the Democrats keep the Senate, the markets might actually like that. And with Big Tech taking a beating after all these earning announcements, they're low enough to bid on and that could push the markets higher. Whoever that dude at Morgan Stanley was last week, saying that we could see 4000 or 4100 in the near term, might actually be right if it plays out this way.
But remember, longer term, we have significant headwinds and this is still a Bear Market. CPI report is accumulative, like a moving average. If you add up all the monthly CPI numbers, it gives you the annualized CPI. It's going to stay high because at the beginning of this year, we were seeing CPI numbers at about 1%. So when we add all these monthly's up, we're going to get a high number. Obviously, over time, this will come down. Which is why expectations are to get to 4% by early Q2 or abouts. So, if the Republicans' don't take the House, and the CPI report is hot. What does that mean for the markets? Well, we could head back down starting tomorrow or Friday. Either way, these are two possible outcomes that could play out.
Plan for the Day: We're technically still in No Man's Land but with a slightly more Bullish lean right now. IF I decide to chase this up to 4000, or 4100, I will do so cautiously and wait for an exhausting point in the rally. We might just hang out here at 3800 today until all the results come in and then tomorrow we could see the true direction. I'll sit on my hands again and just watch the market. Be patient, stay disciplined and trade the market in front of you. Happy Trading!

Intraday - We look to Sell at 199.64 (stop at 210.66)
The medium term bias remains bearish. A sequence of weekly lower lows and highs has been posted. This is negative for sentiment and the downtrend has potential to return. Resistance is located at 200.00 and should cap gains to this area. Preferred trade is to sell into rallies.
Our profit targets will be 173.20 and 165.00
Resistance: 200.00 / 235.00 / 250.00
Support: 173.00 / 140.00 / 120.00

#BTC: Is this bottom or It will drop more?Hi guys, This is CryptoMojo, One of the most active trading view authors and fastest-growing communities.
Consider following me for the latest updates and Long /Short calls on almost every exchange.
I post short mid and long-term trade setups too.
Let’s get to the chart!
I have tried my best to bring the best possible outcome to this chart, Do not consider financial advice.
#Bitcoin Long Term Technical Analysis:-
As Per the historical chart:-
As we can see in the chart first and second bear markets BTC drop -84 to -86% from the top and in this current bear market too we expect an 84% to 86% drop from the top.
If BTC drop according to the calculation then
10k to 11k will be the bottom
So in this bear market, we expect an 84% to 86% drop from the top
This chart is likely to help you make better trade decisions if it does consider upvoting it.
I would also love to know your charts and views in the comment section.
Thank you
THIS CHART IS INVERTED!!!! EVERYTHING IS INVERTED!! Hello.
This is my analysis for the bitcoin against the US dollar.
The Fibo. level for the end of the 5th wave is 100% it might go further but I highly doubt that.
if the 5th wave is extended it might go to the 127% or the 138%.
this analysis will FAIL under two scenarios:
1- the price breaks the end of the 3rd wave and then breaks the end of the 4th wave. Which will result in a compound correction .
2- the 4th wave breaks the end of the 1st wave.
Last chance to have the opportunity to get on BTCs Moon landing.No matter how you look at the chart, the price is not on support right now. The price has broken through the support of the flat, and now it is hanging in the air.
The nearest strong support is around $12.5k-$13k and then toward $9.5 to $10k if the worst is to come, which exists due to many factors. As an example, I show you the target for the breakout of the flat, which is only one of the bases of the level.
What should be our next plan?
I am starting to form a formal short, from the current price and up to $18750. The main target will be $12k.
"Formal," as a chance for a $19k pullback exists. Unfortunately, if it happens, we can consider such a dump — a fakeout, so we will have to flip long.
If the retest is successful and the price won't allow fixing above $18k ±$19k for a long time, I will be increasing the short position already on confirmation of the retest below ±$18k.
Will start without any preface. There are two options of what can happen next and here is the first, OPTIMISTIC one:
There is a massive consolidation zone with $17,800 - $25,000 borders. As you can see, the price dumped below the support line.
We may see the dump continuation down to the $15,500 - $16,000 zone and pump back above the $17,800 level. This would be called a DEVIATION. In other words, fake breakdown of the support.
That's a bullish case. How we advise to trade it: buy on the $17,800 breakout upwards. This is the safe option. Buying in the $16,000 zone is risky. Explanation will appear in the next publication❗️
Why do I think buying the $16,000 zone is NOT THE BEST idea?
This support zone is not really strong — it can hold the price for some time, but it can not be defined as the ULTIMATE BOTTOM for Bitcoin. The Macro Technical Analysis says we can easily flip $14,800 - $15,000 into resistance.
You can fill your bags at $15,000 - $16,000 but what will you do if the price will continue dumping to $14,000 - $12,000 - $10,000? You will suffer from moral pressing and sell in huge loss with high probability.
The difference between $16,000 and $11,000 is ±25%. Meanwhile the difference between $16,000 and $17,500 is only ±10%.
I would rather MISS 10% of potential profit than LOSE 25% of my deposit (even for a while). Hope you get my point.
Stay Tuned.
Don't forget to drop your likes if you agreed with the idea and drop your comments too if you have any disagreement on any part of my assemption and let's share knowledge and learn from each other.
This is not a financial advice and its just an insight from the team for idea sharing only. We don't take any responsibilities for your loss and make your own research before you invest any dime. And remember to invest the amount that you only can afford to loss.

Bearish trend continues for BTCHere's a quick look at the weekly BTC chart. As we can see, the price is currently in the crucial support zone , and the price has to hold the support zone to avoid a significant downside. If the price doesn't manage to keep the critical support zone , the price will likely end up in the 12.5k - 9.5k price range.
I must mention that there is still an open CME gap at 9.7k, and we may very well end up at the 9k level and thereby close that CME gap. Tho there's no specific timeline for when they'll get filled.
-------------------------------------------
What is a CME gap?
Key points:
A CME gap is a break in the graph of the trading prices of an asset, in this case, Bitcoin . So if BTC closed at 8700, then opened the next session at 9400, there would be a 700-point gap in the chart. Some traders believe that gaps will get “filled.” Meaning the asset will go back down, in this example, and “fill the gap.”

Doomsday.Here on the daily chart, we have a rather rare signal. A daily WAVE PM cross, with the CCI pointing bearish.
Here is the previous instance, November 2018, where this signal fired. This resulted in a 50% drawdown.
We'll know pretty quickly if this scenario is playing out, where if price can recover above the 1900s in the next few days price should hold as an easy opportunity to stop out. If not, expect freefall for the next several weeks. This is an incredibly reliable signal on the daily chart. It happens only one or two times a year and has resulted in a percentile move in the double digits every single time.
We'll need a close beneath 17500 today for confirmation.
No Man's Land.....again.Well, what a wild Friday. The market traded in a 3% range trying to digest the unemployment reports. Lots of mixed signals right now. So it looks like we're back in No Man's Land. Step back and still look at the bigger picture, we are still in a downtrend channel. We had three down days last week with a doji on Thursday and a bounce on Friday. Characteristics of a bull pull back right? Well than, what does the Nasdaq chart tell you? Cause that thing looks way more bearish. CPI report is going to say a lot and there's a good chance that inflation could come in higher than expected. By the end of this week, we should know where this market is going to go. It feels like I say that every week! -"By the end of this week, we should know where this market is going to go."-!!!! It's definitely been confusing the last few weeks. I mean look at the VIX. This thing said "what's up!?" to 24 on Friday. My 40,50 VIX number I've had in my mind the last couple weeks is still patiently waiting. The elements of "hope" are lingering in these markets. Here's what could happen this week: We might hang out here in this 3800 area today and tomorrow. But we could also go test the 3850ish area. I'd pay attention to the price action in that area. It would test the upper downward trend line from the August 6th high.
Plan for today: Really just going to sit on my hands today and watch the market. Be patient, stay disciplined and trade the markets in front of you. Happy Trading!
