*It's only 10:30pm in California right now so there's still a place in the world where I haven't missed a TA on 09/08/22. Today was just another day in 2022: Fed Chair Jerome Powell made it clear that 75bps are still on the table for 09/21 , SEC Chair Gary Gensler said that most cryptocurrencies are securities but that Bitcoin (and likely Ether) should be regulated by the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission, mortgage rates are at the highest since 2008 (5.95%) and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen saying that the fall in gasoline brought headline inflation down in July and may do so again in August + that the US economy now is stronger than it was before the pandemic. Markets seemed to rally off of Yellen's comments, which brings the notion CPI may look good heading into midterms. Key Upcoming Dates: August CPI at 830am EST 09/13 ; The Merge (Ethereum) at 8am EST 09/14 ; FOMC meeting 09/20-09/21 (Statement Released at 2pm EST on 09/21).*
Price is currently trending up at ~$20400 after bouncing off of $19417 support as it aims to test the uptrend line from 06/18/22 at ~$21k as resistance. Volume has shrunken for three consecutive sessions now and buyers for two, it is currently on track to both shrink and favor buyers again; if Volume shrinks again and Price continues rallying, this would be mildly bearish, but if Volume breaks out here along with Price this would be bullish. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $18.6k, this margin is neutral at the moment. RSI is currently trending up at 48.5 after breaking above 42.41 resistance and the descending trendline from January 2021 at 45 (as resistance); the next resistance is at 57.34. Stochastic remains bullish for a second consecutive session and is currently testing 78 resistance. MACD is currently crossing over bullish at -689, if it can hold then it will likely test the next resistance is at 313. ADX is currently trending down at 26 as Price is rallying higher, this is neutral at the moment.
If Price is able to continue higher, it will likely test the uptrend line from 06/18/22 at ~$21k as resistance before potentially testing the 50 MA at ~$22k as resistance . However, if Price breaks down here then it will likely retest $19417 support . Mental Stop Loss: (once close below) $19417.

*In the August Employment Situation, Nonfarm Payrolls increased by 315,000 and Unemployment finally bucked the 7 month trend of declining or staying flat by increasing .2% from 3.5% in July to 3.7% in August. Cryptos and Equities rallied off the news early in the session and are currently in the red. After almost 6 months of Federal Reserve intervention via hawkish monetary policy... the Unemployment Rate finally goes up a bit, this slightly strengthens the credibility of the Fed in proving that their demand side interventions are starting to be effective (even if it's slight). That said, FFR futures traders are still largely betting on a 75bps rate increase on 09/21. Cryptos still have a bit of bullishness leading up to Ethereum's 'The Merge' on 09/15, but it's quickly withering. CPI on 08/13 should help provide more guidance regarding what the FOMC will do on 09/21. Key Upcoming Dates: 6th Beige Book at 2pm EST 09/07; August CPI at 830am EST 09/13; FOMC meeting 09/20-09/21 (Statement Released at 2pm EST on 09/21).*
Price is currently continuing to trend sideways at $20k psychological support for the seventh consecutive session. Volume is Moderate and on track to favor sellers in today's session if it closes today in the red. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $21.4k, this margin is mildly bullish at the moment. RSI is currently trending down at 36 after forming a soft peak at 38; the next support is the uptrend line from 01/22/22 at ~30 while the next resistance is at 42. Stochastic remains bullish and is currently trending up at 59 with no signs of peak formation as it tests 55.55 resistance. MACD remains bearish and is currently continuing to form a trough at -747 as it hovers above -869 minor support; if it can break above -659 it would be a bullish crossover. ADX is currently trending up slightly at 24 as Price trends sideways, this is neutral at the moment.
If Price is able to bounce here then it will likely test the uptrend line from 06/18/22 at ~$21k as resistance . However, if Price breaks down here, it will likely retest $19417 support ; if Price loses $19417 support then it will likely retest the uptrend line from March 2017 at ~$15k as support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $21k.
Bitcoin | A Trend Reversal or a Trend Continuation Pattern?Bitcoin | A Trend Reversal or a Trend Continuation Pattern?
Since the previous week when Powell spoke on "Jackson Hole Symposium" both Stocks and Crypto
market are suffering losses.
It looks like that bearish shadow is still covering the markets and the rumors for
an interest rate hike from FED one ne next meeting is not helping
the market at all to recover.
We can see a very clear triangle pattern that can push the price in both direction.

WBT | WhiteBIT Token | Cup and Handle Pattern | Bullish VolumeWhat is WhiteBIT Token?
WBT is a utility token of the largest European cryptocurrency exchange, WhiteBIT.
The platform was established in 2018 and has already become one of the leading crypto exchanges with 3+ mln users worldwide.
They launched their token on August 22 (this month).
As the price is developing we can see that the first pattern that is taking shape on the 4 hour time
frame is a "Cup and Handle Pattern".
This is a bullish pattern now showing that the price has a very high potential for the next bullish wave.
I am keeping conservative targets for the time being for the 3-rd wave development of the Elliot Wave but it can
also extend up to the 5-the wave and to complete probably higher than the 5-th wave that I have pointed out on the chart.
However considering the increase of the volume that the token should have, considering that it is very new, the price
should rise faster during the coming days.
Thank you and Good Luck!
Types of Cup & Handle Pattern
When The Cup & Handle Pattern is completed in a Bullish Trend it is classified as a "Bullish Trend Continuation Pattern"
When The Cup & Handle Pattern is completed in a Bearish Trend it is classified as a "Bearish Trend Continuation Pattern"
Targets
A minimum profit target for this pattern is the measured distance between the bottom and top of the cup.
This distance is added to the price in the sharing area.
This is the minimum profit target that applies to this model and we should know that the price may also continue the movement of the major trend.

July PCE price index decreased by -0.1% from July , and was 6.3% higher than in July of 2021 (compared to 6.8% higher last month); both of these numbers reflect the effects of the White House tapping into SPR in July. The 8th GDPNow US Q3 GDP estimate came in today at +1.6% compared to +1.4% on 08/24/22. The UofM survey reported August consumer sentiment at 58.2 (compared to 51.5 in July) and a nearly 60% surge in year-ahead economic expectations from lows last seen in 2008-2010. Even though the economic data today was largely positive, it wasn't enough for Fed Chair Pow. He kept the hawkish rhetoric by emphasizing today at Jackson Hole that the Fed will be maintaining "restrictive monetary policy" until Core PCE drops meaningfully closer to their 2% target and that they won't hesitate to raise rates by another 75bps in September. To some bull's delight, he made mention that the Fed would have to eventually slow down rate hikes as the inflation situation improves (logically).

*This bearish week was marked by degrading economic data from China, Germany and the USA, stoking global recession fears once again. China is currently seeing a weaker consumer (due to still ongoing effects of the Covid lockdowns), heat waves affecting factories, a weakening property sector (in need of infrastructural support) and slower export growth as a result of the massive global supply chain restructuring currently taking place. Germany is still reeling from sanctions and interruptions regarding the Nord Stream Pipeline as they prepare for a energy shortage this winter while the Rhine River is reportedly seeing a drought that has affected their ability to load barges to full capacity, adding to the economic growth woes they are likely to face for the remainder of the year. Meanwhile, the USA remains committed to tightening further and raising central bank interest rates beyond neutral as the US Housing and Credit market begins to show signs of weakness; this has led to a drop in the forecast for Q3 GDP.

Ethereum forecast / Signal updateAs you can see, the price entered a neutral channel since last night.
Now we see two paths for the price, ascending and descending depending on the conditions (it is 50-50).
If the resistance breaks at the top of the channel and the break is confirmed, it will continue to move bullish.
In case of failure of support at the bottom of the channel, the direction will be changed and bearish.
The probability is 50-50 in terms of technical analysis, but in terms of fundamentals and of course the volume of buyers, I think it is 60% bullish.

MACD remains bullish and is trending up slightly at 474 but risks reverting to a bearish crossover at 375 the more that it trends sideways; it's currently hovering just above 313 support and the next resistance is at 890. ADX is currently trending up slightly at 20 as Price continues to attempt to break above $24180 minor resistance, this is mildly bullish. If Price is able to breakout above $24180 minor resistance and turn it to support, it will likely test the Ascending Triangle breakout target of ~$28k as resistance which should coincide with the descending trendline from November 2021. However, if Price is rejected here then it will likely retest the lower trendline of the Ascending Triangle at $27k as support before potentially falling lower to retest the uptrend line from 06/18/22 at $20k psychological support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close below) $22.5k.
