Stocks Slump Amid Virus WoesStocks are struggling, and it appears virus woes may be putting a damper on them. The S&P made a run for 3963, but fell just short of this and retraced back down to 3933 or so, which is a Fibonacci and technical level. We should see support here, but if not, 3890 would definitely provide support. We will find further support at 3860 or so. The Kovach OBV is rounding off suggesting that we may be in for more bearish momentum, or at least some sideways trading before momentum comes through to attempt highs at 3987.

Failed Head and Shoulders in LitecoinLitecoin had a failed head and shoulders breakout from $195. We broke from this level but swiftly retraced before we could find support at $184. This is a bullish sign for LTC. However, we are currently trading at the neckline of the H&S which could provide some resistance. If we see further retracement, $184 or $174 will provide support. If it can manage to muster some momentum, $202 and $209 are the next targets.
Ethereum Continues the RangeEthereum keeps stubbornly resisting a breakdown from our head and shoulders pattern. It's complacency with the current range may invalidate the pattern. The level $1750 seems to be providing good support and may be a good long opportunity. Currently we are facing a bit of resistance at $1800, a psychological level. But if we retrace the entire range, we could see $1906 again. If not, we will get support from $1694 and $1653.
Bitcoin RangingBitcoin caught a lift off $55.7K and appears to be continuing a triangular corrective wave. The Kovach OBV is strong but has flat lined a bit, suggesting that we could be in for more ranging. We are currently just under $57.6K, and the next level of resistance will be $59.4K. Obviously, $60K is an extremely strong psychological barrier to break, and after that it will be clear sailing to highs at $61.6K. If we are wrong, watch for support at $54.3K
Stocks Pull Back on Geopolitcal TensionsStocks retraced in the Asia-Pacific session due to geopolitical tensions in Myanmar and Turkey, to the 0.618 Fibonacci level, anchored at the relative high at 3987, and the low of our head and shoulders from which we saw the breakout at 3733. We are getting good support from this level but further fallout could take us to 3860, which would be a 0.500 Fib retracement. The Kovach OBV is receding a bit, but not to extremes. Thus it is likely we will find support at one of these Fib levels. We will face resistance from 3933 first, then highs at 3987.
Litecoin Continues Head and Shoulders Again!!Litecoin has extended the right shoulder of our head and shoulders pattern and continues to range. It could go either way at this point, either maintaining the range of the second shoulder between the neckline at $195 and $209. If it gets a burst of momentum it could make a run for highs at $227. A breakdown would take us back to $184 or even $174. The Kovach OBV has been bullish but is now completely flat.
What's Next for Ethereum??Ethereum continues to range, but appears to be forming a head and shoulders. There are three equally likely outcomes. We could see a burst of momentum taking us to the level constituting the head of our H&S pattern at $1906, we could see continued ranging extending the right shoulder, or it could breakdown from the neckline at $1750, which could take us back to $1654. The Kovach OBV has leveled off, but the longer we maintain this range the more likely a breakout becomes
Sideways Trading for BitcoinBitcoin has continued the breakout from our corrective wave earlier, however the momentum has waned. We may need to wait for the weekend for anything significant to happen. The lack of momentum suggests a continued sideways correction rather than a new impulse wave. Broadly, we can expect BTC to maintain the range between highs at $61.5K and $52.8K. The Kovach OBV is bullish, but has flatlined which confirms our outlook. From here it could go either way as its roughly in the middle of the range.
Stocks Finally Retrace!!We finally got our correction in stocks that we have been anticipating for two days now. The S&P has retraced to 3909, which was one of the levels we've called out. If this correction is not finished, a healthy retracement could take us to 3887 or 3848. The Kovach OBV has barely dipped. A burst of momentum would have to take us to 3978 first, before highs at 4009.
Litecoin Continues Head and Shoulder PatternLitecoin has refused to breakdown from our head and shoulders pattern. The neckline at $195 has continued to provide support. However, this may simply be an extension of the second shoulder, which seems to be bounded by $209. It will take some momentum to breakthrough this and we wont be fully out of the woods until $227. If we do breakdown, $184 or $174 would provide support. The Kovach OBV is broadly strong, but has leveled off for a while, so we could continue to range at current levels between $195 and $209.
Ethereum Ranging 🥱Ethereum continues to range between $1748 and $1906. It did not get much of a lift from the Bitcoin rally. It is currently in the middle of this range, so it could go either way. We will obviously have support at the upper and lower bounds of this range, but if we breakdown, we could see support at $1694 or $1654. There is a signicant vacuum zone above back to highs at $2025 or so. The Kovach OBV is pretty strong but may be rounding off, suggesting momentum may weaken.
Momentum Back for Bitcoin??After some initial weakness, Bitcoin broke out from our corrective Elliott Wave impulse and breached a significant level at $57.7K. It met some resistance at $59.4K, which we have added as a technical level. Currently, $57.7K is providing support. The Kovach OBV is still relatively strong but has leveled off. From here it could go either way, we could see a breakdown back to $55.7K. A breakout would take us back to highs at $61.5K.
Stocks Continue to RangeStocks have continued to range, stubbornly refusing our prediction of a breakdown. However the longer they range the higher the probability of a breakout or breakdown. If we see a breakdown, watch 3907 or 3886 for support. If we breakout, the immediate target is 4009. The Kovach OBV is still strong here, suggesting the momentum is there, so it really could go either way at this point.
Head and Shoulders in Litecoin CompleteLitecoin has formed a head and shoulders pattern, finally completing the right shoulder. This is not a good sign for LTC. We are finding support at the neckline for now, at $195. Watch this level carefully. The Kovach OBV is still strong but is starting to turn over, which could support a bearish outlook. A breakdown could take us to $184 or $174. If we are wrong, watch $202 and $209 for resistance. We have a way to go before achieving relative highs at $227.
Ethereum Contiunes to RangeEthereum has been ranging, with $1750 as a steadfast lower bound. It is looking pretty weak and if Bitcoin continues its retracement, we could break $1750, and hit $1694, or $1653. The latter should provide support as it is the neckline of our inverse head and shoulders pattern. We are seeing the Kovach OBV pick up, however, so this divergence could be good for ETH. A lift could take us to $1821, $1872, or back to highs at $1906.
Lack of Momentum in BitcoinWe were anticipating some momentum in Bitcoin, after it appeared to have completed the corrective phase of a 5-3 Elliott Wave. However momentum was short-lived and we have seen another retracement. Luckily, $54.4K seems to be providing good support. If the fallout continues, watch $52.8K or $50.8K. Even if we hit $50K, we're still bullish of BTC. There is simply too much institutional interest, and more and more companies will follow Tesla and pile into BTC, especially considering the US dollar's decline and paltry performance in other assets. Consider this a buying opportunity because once we catch another wave of momentum, we should solidify the $60K handle easily.
Stocks Due for a RetracementStocks have maintained a very narrow range, and traded completely flat yesterday. We appear to be seeing a top, and the Kovach OBV is completely leveled off. We maintain yesterday's position that a retracement is due. If so, we would at least see 3928, but sustained bear momentum could take us to 3887. The neckline of our inverse head and shoulders pattern would be at 3848. If we do break out, 4000's are in sight and 4009 is our next target.
Head and Shoulders in Litecoin??Litecoin appears to be forming a head and shoulders, with the right shoulder forming at the moment. We had a good run for $227, but this appeared provide prohibitive resistance. The neckline at $195 will provide support however, at least until the second shoulder forms. If we break down from here $184 and $174 will provide support. The Kovach OBV is still pretty strong but has leveled off, suggesting a retracement could be near.
Ethereum RangingEthereum is holding the range after rejecting the $1900's. It appears to be confined to $1750 and $1900 for now. Be careful because we have a head and shoulders type pattern forming, so if we re unable to make higher highs at some point soon, its a bearish sign. The neckline for this pattern appears to be the lows of the range at $1750. If we break down, we will see support from the neckline of the previous inverse head and shoulders at $1654. The Kovach OBV has been oscillatory lately, confirming the ambivalence.
Correction over for Bitcoin??Bitcoin appears to have completed a 5-3 Elliott Wave, with the corrective impulse taking us to the 0.500 Fibonacci level at $53.9K. We could have a further retracement to the 0.382 level at $52.1K and still be considered bullish. We could see this level easily if the corrective wave has not completed yet. Even further, $50K should provide good resistance. If we do see a lift, $55.7K or $58.3K are good intermediary targets. BTC should extend the overall sideways correction before making another run for highs.
Retracement Near for Stocks?Stocks are bullish, but their trajectory is waning. The Kovach OBV is still strong but has been leveling off. This is usually an indication that we will get a retracement soon. The level 3738 seems to be providing some resistance and we won't be able to break through without some significant momentum. If we can, the 4000's are in sight and 4009 is the next target. A retracement here could be swift and take us to 3887 or even 3867. The neckline of our inverse head and shoulders should provide further support at 3848.
Litecoin RetracesAfter crossing the vacuum zone to 227, LTC has given it all back, retracing to support at 202. This seems to be a pretty significant level and Litecoin has respected it in the past. The Kovach OBV is still pretty bullish but does appear to be rounding off. Further fallout could take us back to 195 or even 184. If we catch a bid, we could see 227 again pretty easily. We anticipate LTC to range around current levels as it consolidates gearing up for another breakout, which would take us back to 227. After that, 254 is the next target.
ETH Maintains the RangeAfter reaching our profit target from the inverse head and shoulders breakout, Ethereum has been ranging. It is testing the range between 1748 and relative highs at 1936. Most recently, ETH has felt the shock of the selloff in BTC which is taking us back to relative lows at 1748. A further selloff could take us back to support at the neckline of the inverse H&S pattern at 1654. The Kovach OBV is pretty bearish right now, but the Chande is as well. When both indicators are so bearish it signifies that we may be oversold and ready for a bounce.
