BTC Futures Expectations: Anticipating the Next Market MovesTwo 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:
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.
Considering trading CME BTC futures? You can now access CME MBT Micro Bitcoin futures, 1/10th the size of one bitcoin, and CME BFF, Bitcoin Friday futures, sized at 1/50 of a bitcoin, Bitcoin Friday futures is a short-dated contract that provides an accessible, capital-efficient way to manage your bitcoin trading strategies.

Bitcoin | In Satoshi V Trust Gentlemen welcome to BULL MARKET
The price of Bitcoin is $28,280 today with a 24hour trading volume of 45 billion dollars This represents a 4% price increase in the last 24 hours and a 40% price increase in the past 7 days
When iconic US investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for bankruptcy in 2008, it shook people’s faith in banks so much that a new class of asset, which did not have the backing of any formal bank, came into being. Bitcoin, the most popular cryptocurrency, first found a mention in November 2008, about two months after the Lehman crisis. A decade later, cryptocurrencies have become one of the most debated financial assets, globally and in India, in terms of risk and returns. now in 2023 Banks fails even bigger and bitcoin is here to shine
Right now all big companies including Amazon, Microsoft, BlackRock, BridgeWater ... got an eye on crypto and buying the dip while the old banking system shows its flaws
all indicators sending bullish signal and be ready for 28500, 28700 and 28900$

BTC IN UP MOVEMENT + TRADE PLANTrend Identification:
Descending Channel: Bitcoin is currently in a descending parallel channel after an uptrend, indicating a potential bullish continuation if it breaks out of this channel.
Previous Uptrend: The price came from an uptrend, and descending channels often serve as continuation patterns, suggesting a higher probability of an upward breakout.
Key Support and Resistance Levels:
Support Levels:
$68,556.87: Major support near the recent low in the channel.
$66,333.98: Secondary support zone that could act as a cushion in case of a downside move.
$64,591.15: Historical support level providing a safety net if the price dips further.
Resistance Levels:
$72,198.87: Immediate resistance that BTC needs to overcome for a continued uptrend.
$73,655.67: Key resistance area that, if broken, could trigger a strong bullish move.
Indicators Analysis:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): The RSI is close to the midpoint, indicating a neutral zone. However, an upward movement in RSI could signal increasing bullish momentum.
Stochastic RSI: Currently near the overbought zone. It indicates potential upward pressure, but caution is needed as it may signal short-term exhaustion.
Volume: Noticeable increase in volume around the support levels, indicating buying interest. Volume confirmation on breakout above the resistance line would strengthen the bullish case.
Moving Averages:
HMA (Hull Moving Average): Showing a slight upward trend, aligning with the potential breakout from the descending channel.
Trading Plan
Entry Strategy:
Aggressive Entry: Enter a long position upon the breakout of the descending channel, ideally with a confirmed volume increase above $72,198.87. This would signal a possible continuation of the previous uptrend.
Conservative Entry: Wait for a confirmed breakout and retest of the $72,198.87 level. If the price holds above this level after retesting, it indicates stronger bullish confirmation.
Stop Loss:
Place a stop loss slightly below $68,556.87 to limit downside risk. This area aligns with recent support, and a drop below it may indicate invalidation of the breakout pattern.
Take Profit Levels:
Primary Target: $73,655.67 (first resistance level). Partial profits can be taken here to lock in gains.
Secondary Target: $76,000, if Bitcoin gains strong momentum after breaking through the primary target. This level could be achieved in a continued bullish scenario.
Final Target: $80,000 as a psychological target, if there is sustained bullish momentum and no major resistance above.
Risk Management:
Position Size: Limit the position size to manage risk exposure, especially with the potential volatility in cryptocurrency markets.
Trailing Stop: Consider using a trailing stop after reaching the first target to lock in profits while allowing for potential upside.
Monitoring Indicators:
Volume: Continuously monitor the volume as the price approaches resistance zones. Higher-than-average volume would support the breakout, whereas weak volume could lead to a false breakout.
RSI and Stochastic: Keep an eye on these momentum indicators. If the RSI and Stochastic enter overbought territory and start to diverge, it could signal a potential reversal.
Timeframe:
This setup appears on a 4-hour chart, suggesting a medium-term trading perspective. Reassess positions if the breakout fails to materialize within the next few days.

BITCOIN ULTIMATE PARABOLIC CURVE CHART | Insane $181,267 Target!🟢 Hello, fellow traders! I’m excited to share an update on Bitcoin price prediction and the potential implications of the Parabolic Curve pattern we witnessing at the moment!
Today, let’s dive into the Parabolic Curve as Bitcoin approached the end point of Base 4. Understanding this pattern can help us evaluate future trading opportunities.
The Parabolic Curve often surfaces near the culmination of major market surges, marking the end result of multiple base formation breaks. This pattern is typically seen in growth assets with innovative technology or visionary leadership — Bitcoin is a prime example.
Last year, at the pivotal point of Base 3 , indicated by the "X" on the chart at $25,700 , Bitcoin doubled in a remarkably short timeframe.
The hallmark of this pattern was its staircase-like formation, where the price created short-term bases before catapulting to new highs, repeating this cycle multiple times during its ascent.
In my analysis using Fibonacci tools and Elliott Waves , I've observed that:
Base 4 in the range between the $72,759 resistance and $55,257 support , with lowest spike at $49,000 .
The anticipated sell zone for the parabolic move was positioned between $149,175 and $181,267 .
This parabolic curve, reminiscent of a rocket's trajectory, has demonstrated significant persistence. However, as we saw, caution is a key as this pattern near completion; rapid upward momentum can conclude abruptly, resulting in price declines that outpace previous gains.

Extracting Arbitrage Yields In Bitcoin Carry TradeBitcoin is known as digital gold. It is treasured as an investment asset. Much like the famous yellow metal, bitcoin (“BTC”) does not offer income through dividends or interest. This poses a challenge for investors seeking regular cashflows and income.
One strategy that skilled investors use to turn BTC into an income generating asset is the cash and carry trade (“carry trade”).
This paper describes mechanics of carry trade and the attendant risks. It also highlights that the introduction of spot ETFs has created a secure infrastructure for harvesting carry yields using a regulated platforms such as the CME.
INTRODUCTION TO THE CARRY TRADE
The carry trade is an arbitrage strategy that benefits from the differences in futures and spot price of an asset. It is a delta neutral strategy. In other words, the returns are not price dependent once the carry trade is profitably set up.
To illustrate, consider the forward curve of CME Bitcoin futures which shows futures prices at different expiries.
Bitcoin futures with later expiries trade at a premium to near term ones and this type of market structure is referred to as contango.
In a trade that involves simultaneous acquisition of BTC and selling a BTC futures contract expiring later, investors can lock in the price difference as profits. Once established, this trade’s profit is unaffected by price moves enabling investors to harvest carry yield at the futures expiry.
The pay-off from this trade is driven by convergence of futures and spot prices. Convergence is the movement of a futures price closer to spot price at expiry. Once futures and spot price are sufficiently close, the trade can be unwound by simultaneously exiting both positions.
For CME Bitcoin and Micro Bitcoin futures, convergence occurs because the futures contracts settle to a robust price benchmark known as the CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (“BRR”) which includes price quotes from major crypto exchanges.
BTC FUTURES CONTANGO TERM STRUCTURE AND PREVALANCE OF CARRY TRADE
Carry trades can be executed in both contango and backwardation term structures. While the carry trade can technically be executed in backwardation (where later expiries are cheaper), doing so involves high borrowing costs for the short spot leg. Hence, BTC’s contango term structure is beneficial for extracting arbitrage yields from carry trade.
Factors driving BTC contango term structure are multi-faceted. Simply put, during bull runs, investors anticipate higher prices for contracts maturing later. Furthermore, high demand for spot BTC and limited availability on the sell-side can exacerbate forward premiums.
Additional factors resulting in contango include cost of funds, insurance premiums, and custodial charges that are higher for later expiries, and a convenience yield of holding BTC. Convenience yield represents returns from holding BTC through activities such as lending.
BTC futures term structure has shown both contango and backwardation during different periods. Current term structure indicates bullish sentiment fuelled by spot BTC approval in January and the next halving event expected in April.
Term structure shifts can result in outsized returns at times. Notably, the switch from contango to backwardation can offer outsized returns on the carry trade, exceeding the difference between futures and spot price as observed at trade inception.
The carry trade has been a popular strategy, especially during periods of significant volatility and during bull markets when BTC contango structure widens. Even sell-offs provide compelling trading opportunities as the carry trade is directionally neutral. Carry trades have lower risk relative to an outright long position.
For reference , during 2021, LedgerPrime’s quant fund was able to beat BTC returns using, among others, the carry trade during a large selloff.
RISKS OF THE CARRY TRADE
The carry trade neutralises market risk but is still subject to counterparty risks and liquidity risks when spreads diverge and tear.
Largest risk factors associated with the carry trade is the counterparty risk . While CME futures are regulated by the CFTC, spot crypto exchanges are not subject to similar regulations. This poses significant risk for investors if they opt to hold their BTC on such unregulated exchanges.
Such risks arising from trading on unregulated platforms is most exemplified by the collapse of FTX. FTX was a popular exchange for executing carry trades as it offered dated futures, perps, and spot BTC on its platform. The dramatic collapse of FTX highlighted counterparty risk as a major concern.
Self-custody of spot BTC has its own risks including transfer costs and cybersecurity risks.
Another risk factor is early liquidation. As the futures leg of the trade is a short position, where prices rally sharply, the short position may be at risk of liquidation despite a proportional gain on the long leg of the carry trade.
SPOT BTC ETF HELPS REDUCE COUNTERPARTY RISKS
The rollout of spot BTC ETFs reduces counterparty risk. Unlike unregulated crypto exchanges, spot ETFs are regulated by the SEC, listed on regulated exchanges with investor protection.
With both the futures and spot leg now available through regulated platforms, investors have access to secure infrastructure for executing the carry trade.
The table below provides details of approved spot ETFs including AUM, expense ratio, and the benchmark index.
Carry trade using spot ETFs with CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (CME BRR) enables greater precision in extracting arbitrage yields. Seven of the eleven approved spot BTC ETFs use the CME BRR.
Still, there are downside to using spot ETFs for long BTC exposure in carry trades. For one, ETFs are only tradeable during market hours (9:30AM to 4:00PM US Eastern Time not including extended trading hours) whereas cryptocurrency exchanges and even CME futures trade for longer hours.
Moreover, expense ratios and premium/discount to NAV for ETFs will erode already thin profits. Spot BTC ETFs are currently offering discounts on expense ratio for a fixed period.
CARRY TRADE ILLUSTRATION
To illustrate a hypothetical carry trade, consider the following setup comprising long BITB ETF and short CME Bitcoin futures (BTCH2024).
BITB references the same CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate as CME futures and its premium/discount of -0.07% (as of 09/Feb) offers a beneficial entry point for this trade. Moreover, the premium/discount on the ETF has been tight.
Source: Bitwise
The premium for MBTH2024 over spot reference rate as of close on 9/Feb was 2.83%. Taking seven basis point discount to NAV, this results in total return of 2.90% over 48 days resulting in an annualized arbitrage return of 22%.
As the trade is required to be directionally neutral, notional value on both legs needs to be balanced. CME Micro Bitcoin futures (“MBT”) offers exposure to 0.1 BTC.
Notional on short BTCH2024 futures leg: 0.1 BTC
As of close 09/Feb,
BITB market price: USD 25.95
CME CF Benchmark BTC price: USD 47,614
Each share of BITB offers exposure to 0.000545 BTC
184 shares of BITB provide exposure to 0.000545 x 184 = 0.100280 BTC
The payoff from the trade consisting of 184 x long BITB and 1 x short MBTH2024 would be 2.9% of notional value = 2.9% x (0.1 x 47,614 USD/BTC) = USD 138.
The trade requires margin of USD 980 on the short futures leg and notional of USD 4,775 on the long leg for a total capital requirement of USD 5,755 (as of Feb 2023) which translates into ROI of 2.4%.
Still, as mentioned, liquidation risk remains a concern. Hence, it is prudent to maintain higher margin on the short futures leg which would lower the ROI.
Note that timing this trade better can improve the odds and in case Bitcoin’s term structure switches from contango to backwardation, payoff would be higher.

Insights into Bitcoin Futures as 2024 brings new regulations inIntroduction to Bitcoin Futures
Bitcoin Futures represent a significant intersection of traditional financial markets and the innovative world of cryptocurrencies. They allow traders to speculate on the future price of Bitcoin, providing a way to hedge against price volatility or to profit from price movements. As we step into 2024, the potential approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs is poised to further transform the landscape for Bitcoin Futures.
The Impact of Spot Bitcoin ETF Approval
Spot Bitcoin ETFs are directly tied to the current price of Bitcoin (spot price). Their likely potential approval by U.S. regulators could have substantial implications for the Bitcoin market. Firstly, it's expected to increase market liquidity by providing an accessible avenue for traditional investors to enter the cryptocurrency space. Secondly, it could lead to greater price stability and potentially higher prices due to increased demand. However, it's also important to consider the potential risks, such as amplified market reactions to regulatory news and changes in the underlying asset.
Parallel Analysis of Other ETFs
To understand the potential impact of a Bitcoin ETF, it's instructive to look at the introduction of other commodity and currency-based ETFs:
GLD (Gold ETF): Following the introduction of GLD, which is linked to COMEX Gold Futures (GC), the gold market saw increased liquidity and interest from new investor segments, contributing to significant price rallies.
GLD Performance Chart
SLV (Silver ETF): Similar to GLD, the introduction of SLV, linked to COMEX Silver Futures (SI), led to increased investor participation and price movements in the silver market.
SLV Performance Chart
FXE (Euro ETF): Linked to CME Euro Futures, FXE provided investors an easy way to gain exposure to euro currency movements, affecting trading volumes and price volatility.
FXE Performance Chart
USO (WTI Crude Oil ETF): Tied to NYMEX WTI Crude Oil Futures, USO's introduction affected the oil market by providing more access and potentially contributing to price movements during significant market events.
USO Performance Chart
Historical Implications for Bitcoin
The history of these ETFs suggests a pattern: the introduction of an ETF could lead to increased market participation and, often, significant price movements. For Bitcoin, the approval of a spot ETF could similarly increase market participation and price volatility, at least in the short term. Over the long term, it could help stabilize and mature the market as more institutional investors get involved.
Forward-Looking Insights
Given the potential approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, traders and investors in Bitcoin Futures might expect several scenarios. An immediate increase in volatility could be likely as the market adjusts to the influx of new participants. Over time, we might see a more liquid and stable Bitcoin market.
Planning for a Risk-Defined BTC Opportunity:
Risk Management : Experienced traders prioritize risk management. Using stop-loss orders or hedging techniques is imperative to avoid undefined risk exposure.
Precision in Entries and Exits : Aligning entries and exits with relevant market price levels can help manage risk. When a price point generates a bounce, the trader stays in the trade; if a price level is violated, the disciplined action is to exit the trade promptly for a predetermined loss.
Relevant Price Levels for BTC : Currently, BTC shows relevant resistance levels starting at 51,585 and support between 39,640-34,295.
Proposed Trade Plan:
ENTRY: 39,640
STOP-LOSS: 34,295
TAKE PROFIT TARGET: 51,585
This trade plan offers a 2.23 Reward-To-Risk ratio, providing a structured approach to capitalizing on potential market movements.
In order to manage risk and use the right contract size, traders need to take into consideration the Point Value for BTC Futures being $25 per point.
Traders should prepare for both the opportunities and risks this change could bring, considering strategies that allow flexibility and risk management.
Conclusion
The potential approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024 is set to make waves in the Bitcoin Futures market. Drawing parallels from the history of other ETFs, we anticipate increased market participation and potential price movements. As we navigate this evolving landscape, staying informed and adaptable will be key to capitalizing on the opportunities and navigating the challenges ahead.

Bitcoin Futures: A Quantitative Approach to Analyzing BTCIntroduction to Bitcoin Futures
Bitcoin, the pioneering digital asset, has carved a niche in the financial markets with its futures contracts. Bitcoin Futures provide traders and investors a regulated avenue to speculate on the price of Bitcoin without holding the actual cryptocurrency. This article delves into a quantitative analysis to analyze the next week's potential value of Bitcoin Futures, employing a sophisticated Neural Network model.
Current Market Landscape
The Bitcoin market is known for its rapid price movements. Recently, regulatory news, technological advancements, and shifts in investor sentiment have contributed to market fluctuations. Understanding these trends is crucial for traders looking to navigate this dynamic landscape.
Quantitative Analysis of BTC Futures' Potential Price Movements
Neural Networks & Machine Learning: At the heart of our quantitative approach is a Neural Network model. This model has been trained on historical weekly data of Bitcoin Futures, including key price points and other relevant market indicators.
Data Preprocessing: To ensure accuracy, the data underwent rigorous preprocessing, including normalization to make it suitable for the Neural Network. This step is essential in highlighting the true patterns and trends in the data without noise or scale issues distorting the model's view.
Model Training: Our model was trained over 500 iterations, adjusting its internal parameters to minimize prediction error. This training process involved feeding the model historical data and letting it learn from the actual price movements.
Evaluation and Prediction: After training, the model's performance was evaluated. The actual prices were compared against the model's predictions to assess robustness. This evaluation is crucial in understanding the model's reliability.
Impact of External Factors
Bitcoin Futures are affected by a range of external factors, including regulatory changes, market sentiment, and technological developments. These factors can cause sudden and unpredictable market movements, making the analysis of future potential prices challenging. Our model takes into account the historical impact of these factors, but it's important to remember that unforeseen future events can lead to deviations from predicted values.
Forward-Looking Market Views
Based on our Neural Network's learning and the recent market data, the model predicts that the value of Bitcoin Futures for the next week will be around "$44,026.60". This prediction is visualized in our graph comparing actual prices against predicted values over time, providing a clear view of the model's accuracy.
Given the fact that the current value of BTC is slightly under 43,000, a trader could plan a long trade targeting 44,026.60 as their exit price. Entries could be taken in many ways such as utilizing key technical supports or waiting for breakouts above key resistance price levels. In all cases, a professional approach to taking risk in the marketplace always require managing such risk using stop-loss orders and making sure the trade size has been pre-calculated. There are many more options on how to have a contingency plan in place in case BTC moved in the opposite direction our AI expected it to. More on this in future articles.
The model's learning curve, depicted in the accuracy graph, shows how the prediction accuracy improved over training iterations, reflecting the model's increasing proficiency at understanding the market.
Conclusion
Our quantitative analysis, utilizing a sophisticated Neural Network model, provides a prediction for the next week's value of Bitcoin Futures. While this prediction is grounded in historical data and advanced algorithms, it's important for traders to consider the inherent volatility and unpredictability of the Bitcoin market. The predictive model is a powerful tool, but it should be used as part of a broader strategy that considers market news, economic reports, and other indicators.

Bitcoin Fibonacci Rising ChannelBitcoin's price movement is meticulously adhering to the contours of a Fibonacci Rising Channel, illuminating potential future resistance zones and critical levels.
Here's a detailed breakdown of the current outlook:
As of now, Bitcoin is poised for a significant move, targeting the key psychological level of $50,000. The Fibonacci Rising Channel provides a clear roadmap for this ascent, indicating potential resistance areas along the way.
Anticipated Move:
Upon reaching the $50,000 mark, a retracement is expected. A pullback to approximately $40,000 appears to be a plausible scenario, aligning with the dynamics of the Fibonacci Channel. This correction is an inherent part of the price cycle, offering potential entry points for strategic investors.
Elliott Waves Analysis:
Adding depth to our analysis, we incorporate Elliott Waves (EW) to discern the broader market structure. According to EW principles, the level of is a crucial invalidator, residing at $30,900. A breach of this level would challenge the current wave count and necessitate a reassessment of the broader Elliott Waves pattern.
Key Levels to Watch:
$50,000 Resistance: An area of significant psychological and historical importance. Observe price action closely as Bitcoin approaches this level.
$40,000 Support: Anticipate a retracement to this level post the $50,000 test. This could present an opportunity for traders seeking entry points.
Elliott Waves Rule:
Invalidator: Rigorously monitor the $30,900 level. A sustained move below this point would trigger a reevaluation of the Elliott Waves structure, potentially signaling a shift in the overall trend.
Bitcoin's trajectory within the Fibonacci Rising Channel, coupled with insights from Elliott Waves, provides a comprehensive framework for traders and investors. As we approach the pivotal $50,000 level, vigilant monitoring and a well-defined strategy are paramount.

2. Ascending Triangle Phase
After breakdown of the phase 1, market in 2014 moved down and in start of 2015 formed Ascending triangle shape within 186 days. Now look at 2018/2019 zone of Ascending triangle , similar shape, similar period of 155 days. Next price moved upside to next phase.
3. Flat Zone Phase
After moving upside price stuck in Flat zone for the 149 days in end 2015 and beginning of 2016. In middle of 2019 price stucked in similar Flat zone for about 162 days. Then we moving to next phase
4. Inverse Triangle Rise Phase
In this zone we see about 105 days of rise in between middle of 2016. Here is highly debatable, but looks similar in end of 2019, you can see similar rise within 107 days. What happened next is phase of sudden crash.
5. Sudden Crash Phase
So you see the 4th phase with 107 days rise, then within just few days price suddenly crashes in end of summer 2016. Same Sudden Crash happened in fears of COVID-19 in March 2020, right after Inverse Triangle Phase (4). Now move to phase 6.
6. Lack of Certainty Top
In the end of 2016 we see the small volatility movement below resistance line and before this Top zone, we see steady rise for 153 days, before the market breakout from resistance line. In the 2020 we see steady rise after Sudden Crash (5) for about 156 days. Now price approaching resistance line without big volatility . Here is the prediction starts, in 2017 after breakout we faced 7th phase.
NEW. 7. ATH Volatility Spike
In the beginning of 2017 you can see green rectangle - at that time price approached 2013 ATH ($1150) and looks like there price start to jump really fast. Price made a pullback from ATH and then tried to break it, showing false breakout and then only at third attempt it broke the ATH level and Parabic started
8. Parabolic Rush Phase
So after the breaking out from resistance line in early 2017, Bitcoin price started to grow, and after crossing previous highs market flooded with new traders and fresh money, which caused insane growth of the price for abut 357 days. Will this phase repeats after we cross 20k again? This is topic for discuss :)
👉 What price do you think we will face during end of 2020 and in 2021?

We Have Our Answer!Traders,
A few posts ago, you will see that (2) two gaps were being focused on. The question was posed about which might be filled first. Many of my followers understand that my bias was to the upside gap being filled first. Thanks to the Blackrock ETF approval, this has occurred. And, as I stated in my video yesterday, I have unloaded 50% of ALL my positions (alts included), taken profits, and moved my stops up to break even. I will let the remainder ride for now and hopefully take the rest off at the 50 day ma of the SPOT BTC chart which intersect exactly with the bottom of that important support (now resistance) which I talked about in yesterday's video at 28,750. If we don't hit that and I get stopped out instead, no issue cuz I move all my stops to break even and will take no loss now.
There still remain (2) two unfilled gaps: one at 20,290 from March of this year and one at 35,180 from May of last year. I still believe both will be filled soon. Stay tuned for more on this unfolding price action as, through charting research, I hope to gain a better grasp on how it will go.

Bitcoin Below 50ma, Watching $20k Price GapAlong with all of the major stock indices falling below their 50-day moving averages this week, Bitcoin is also below its 50ma and testing the 100ma for support. Failure to hold above the 100ma near $28.7k will likely lead to a test of the orange trendline near $28k. If that also fails to hold as support then we can consider the uptrend in price over and a likely test of the 200ma near $25k. The main lower level that I've been watching and expecting price to hit after price failed to hold above $30k twice this year stems from the gap in price created in early March in the $20k- FWB:21K area. Gaps tend to get filled and Bitcoin has a consistent history of filling gaps in the chart.
The lower PPO indicator shows the green PPO line trending below the purple signal line which indicates short-term bearish momentum. Both lines have also crossed below the 0 level which indicates potential intermediate to long-term bearish momentum in play.
The TDI indicators shows the green RSI line trending below 50 and heading down towards the 40 level. A move below the 40 level would indicate a short-term bearish price trend. The RSI is also trading in the lower half of extremely tight Bollinger Bands which indicates current short-term bearish momentum with a potentially big move head as tightening BBands tend to precede large moves.
Overall, Bitcoin hasn't flipped completely bearish yet, but when taking into account the deteriorating picture in the stock market and Bitcoins indicators leaning bearish, the outlook for price looks weak here. The main level I'm watching for now in the short-term is the orange uptrend line as a breach below there would indicate that price is likely to continue heading lower, which seems like the likely move after two failed attempts to hold above $30k this year.
I'm currently short Bitcoin via the ProShares Short Bitcoin ETF, BITI. Entry was at $19.71 yesterday with a stop-loss at $18.91 should Bitcoin happen to turn around and head higher.
Three Driving Forces Behind the Ether-Bitcoin Exchange RateAt a glance:
Higher tech stocks tend to boost ETHBTC, while a higher USD tends to depress it
Bitcoin supply is perfectly inelastic, which contributes to its high volatility
Together, ether and bitcoin account for over 60% of the total value of the world’s cryptocurrencies, but the exchange rate between the two has varied widely over time.
So, what drives the Ether-Bitcoin exchange rate? The ETHBTC cross rate responds to many factors, but here are three of them.
Technology Stocks
On days when the tech heavy Nasdaq 100 index rallies, ether tends to rise versus bitcoin. This may be because ether, which is the currency of the Ethereum smart contract network, has more practical applications in the technology space than bitcoin, which is mainly held as a store of value and a medium of exchange.
U.S. Dollar
On days when the U.S. dollar is higher, ether tends to underperform versus bitcoin.
Bitcoin Supply
While ether can be supplied up to 18 million coins per year, bitcoin supply is limited to a maximum of 21 million coins ever, of which about 19 million already exist. Every four years, the supply of new bitcoin drops in half. In the past, halvings have often been preceded by large runups in bitcoin prices and tremendous increases in the amount of revenue that bitcoin miners are paid for matching transactions. Ether is both more volatile than bitcoin and highly correlated to bitcoin. As such, when bitcoin rises or falls versus the U.S. dollar, ether often moves to an even greater degree.

Bitcoin BTCUSDT Price analysis (4h)Greetings, fellow traders and esteemed members of the TradingView community!
Today, let us delve into the 4-hour timeframe of BTCUSDT and explore the potential price direction for the upcoming days.
From a meticulous technical analysis standpoint, we observe the price undergoing a breakout from a triangular pattern. This development may potentially trigger a significant downward movement, with a possible target of the 26675 level, which represents the last support level from the preceding uptrend.
The MACD indicator diligently tracks the price action, providing valuable insights, yet it does not currently exhibit any major signs of a trend reversal.
Additionally, the RSI, having accurately signalled a volatility spike preceding the breakdown of BTC price from the triangle, has further validated our earlier prediction:
Pay close attention to the price action around the support level, as heightened selling pressure could potentially breach this level. However, should the support hold steadfast, it may present an attractive opportunity for long trades.
Remember to employ prudent risk management techniques, such as setting appropriate stop-loss orders and adhering to your predetermined risk tolerance. By doing so, you can navigate the market with a greater sense of security and confidence.
Stay vigilant, adapt to changing market conditions, and trade wisely. Wishing you successful and risk-managed trading endeavours!
