Ethereum Lags in Bitcoin's ShadowAfter a sharp dip to $3646, Ethereum has recovered some ground, but found resistance at $3861. We are finding good support in the $3700's. It appears that capital is flowing into Bitcoin leaving the altcoins lagging. Once traders take profit in BTC, we should see capital flow back into altcoins and Ethereum should rally again. If not, $3646 should provide support again, then $3563. The Kovach OBV has slumped, suggesting ranging should persist.

Bitcoin ETF Coming!! New Highs Soon??Bitcoin continues to press higher, fueled by news of a Bitcoin ETF finally launching in the US. We have held strong under $62.4K, which we have added as a new technical level after $61.6K. We are but one technical level ($64.3K) away from all time highs at $64.8K. There does not seem to be much in the way between current prices and all time highs, but watch for a retracement after the ETF is released, or potentially before. The Kovach OBV has cooled off quite a bit, so we can anticipate some ranging before the next push higher.
Stocks Rally but Can they Sustain??Stocks have rallied to the mid 4400's, despite persistent inflation fears and a more hawkish stance from the Fed. We have topped off at around 4462. We came just a few ticks before the next level at 4487, before retracing. Currently, we are holding just above 4440. Two green triangles on the KRI suggest support here. The risk sentiment in the markets is mixed, and neutral at best, so it is likely that stocks will range today, assuming we do not see something change toward the open. The S&P is looking a bit top heavy, so there is more downside risk. If we retrace further, there is a cluster of levels below to provide support but 4408 seems likely to hold as a min lower bound for now.
Stocks Drift UpwardsThe S&P 500 has drifted upwards, and is currently testing 4389. At the time of this writing it has barely broken through, hovering in the 4390's. The next target will be 4408. If we can muster the strength to hit that, then 4440 is the next target, a relative high before a vacuum zone to 4462, but we have several levels before 4440, so watch for some resistance before that, unless we get some serious momentum at open. If not, we could retrace back to 4327. The Kovach OBV has started to inch upwards, but the momentum appears weak, so the risk is more to the downside.
Ethereum to $4K??Ethereum is testing the upper bound of the range at $3646. We are seeing a red triangle on this level suggesting we may feel some resistance. The Kovach OBV is very strong, so we may anticipate a breakout. Ethereum has held this range for more than a week, and the longer volatility has consolidated, the more likely a breakout is. If so, the next target is $3861, the last level before $4K. If we retrace, there are several levels of support in the current range, but worst case we should find support at the bottom of the range at $3324.
Litecoin to $200??Litecoin has found support at $165, and rode momentum in the crypto market back just below highs at $184. We are seeing strong support at these lower levels, so if there is a retracement, they are likely to continue to provide support, and we will likely hold the range. The level at $184 is a barrier for now, but after, we have $191 and $195 the last levels before we can regain the $200 handle.
Bitcoin to $60K??Bitcoin has regained highs, inching past $57.8K before a brief retracement to support at that level. The difference between new relative highs is getting smaller, suggesting that we may be due for a retracement soon. If so, then there is a cluster of levels likely to provide support, starting at $54.3K. But $52.8K, and $50.8K are likely to hold after that. If Bitcoin has more strength, the next level is $59.4K, the last level before $60K. The Kovach OBV is solidly bullish, so the trend is definitely strong.
Strong Support for Litecoin!!Litecoin has dipped past support at $169. But it quickly found further support in the $160's, just above our level at $165, as identified by green triangles on the KRI. If support does not hold, the next level down is $158. If we see more bull momentum come through, we should be able to establish the $170's again, with the first target at $174. If so, we will regain the previous value area between $174 and $184.
Ethereum Slips, but has Strong SupportEthereum has slipped past $3473 to find support at $3416, which we have identified as a new technical level. We are finding strong support here as confirmed by several green triangles on the KRI. If crypto's find renewed momentum, we could see another push back up to the range we had held between $3473 and $3646. Watch out because we do appear to be forming a bear wedge pattern, and there is a vacuum zone below to $3324. The Kovach OBV is strong, suggesting a bull divergence.
Bitcoin Slips, Finds SupportBitcoin has slipped from relative highs at $57K, to test $55K. We are seeing support here from a green triangle on the KRI, and several green triangles before that, suggesting weakness in the bear bias of this retracement. We anticipate Bitcoin to hold support at $55K and potentially range further between this level and $57K. However, if we do break down, $52.8K and $50.8K are the next levels of support to the downside. We don't anticipate Bitcoin to give up the $50K handle any time soon.
Stocks Slide, But Potential Breakout NearThe S&P 500 has slipped back below 4364, as anticipated in the last report. We found support at 4327, roughly the middle of the range stocks were holding between 4327 and 4364. Currently, we are testing the upper bound of this range, but a red triangle on the KRI suggests that we are meeting some resistance. There is a clear bull bias from the Kovach OBV, so watch for a potential breakout at open, especially if the tone of the news remains risk on. If so, we have several levels of resistance above, but 4408 would be the next target
Litecoin Slumps, Finds SupportLitecoin has dipped past a major level of support at $174. We have encroached into the $160's, and have found support at $165. We are currently sitting at $169 at the time of this writing, testing resistance. We appear to have good support at these levels, as confirmed by a green triangle on the KRI at $165. However, the Kovach OBV has slumped to reflect the selloff, and we will face further resistance from $174 if we attempt another bull run.
Ethereum Retraces from HighsEthereum has dipped from highs at $3646. We have fallen through support at $3473, but appear to have stabilized at $3400. We are seeing three green triangles on the KRI, suggesting that we are encountering support, and this bear rout might be coming to a close. If so, the next targets are $3473 and $3563. If not, $3324 and $3200 are the next support levels from below.
Can Bitcoin Hit $60K??Bitcoin has trended upwards, but is meeting resistance at $57K. It is currently holding a very narrow range between $56.9K and $57.7K. The next level above is $59.4K, which is the last technical level before $60K. We are seeing good support at $56.9K, but also resistance at $57.7K as identified by green and red triangles on the KRI, respectively. Watch for support below at $54.3K or $52.8K. The Kovach OBV is still very strong overall, but has leveled off to reflect the ranging.
Stocks Try to Avert Third Straight Day of LossesStocks have started the week flaccid, but have found support at 4327. We got a bit of a lift to 4364, but are likely to hold the range until more inflation data comes out. We have a cluster of levels above which will likely prove to provide resistance, such as 4340, 4389, and 4408, particular relevant level. The Kovach OBV has actually picked up a bit, suggesting a bit of a bull divergence. However if we break down past 4327, we will have encroached upon the range between 4272 and 4327, a previous value area.
Litecoin Meets ResistanceLitecoin dipped slightly but found strong support from the lower bound of the range at $174, confirmed by a green triangle on the KRI. We are currently testing the upper bound at $184, however a red triangle on the KRI suggests we are running into some resistance. If we are able to breakout, then $191 is the next target. The Kovach OBV is strong but has leveled off, suggesting we will need another burst to break through the range.
Ethereum Holds the RangeEthereum dipped but has caught support at $3400 or so and rallied back up near relative highs. Broadly, we appear to be holding the value are between $3324 and $3646. The Kovach OBV is still pretty strong, but we are likely to see continued ranging until some momentum comes through. If we break out, the next target is $3861. If current support does not hold, watch for further support at $3200.
Bitcon to $60K??Bitcoin has continued its bull run, drifting up to $56K. We are currently meeting some resistance from a technical level at $56.8K. It does seem like momentum is starting to dry up, so watch for a retracement to support in the value area between $52.8K and $55.7K. If this does not hold, we should find support at $50K. The Kovach OBV is still strong, however. We have multiple levels of resistance before we can consider $60K, including $57.7K and $59.4K.
Stocks Find SupportAfter making a run for the 4400 handle, stocks have met resistance at 4431, and have drifted down to support at 4364. Although it is not a market holiday today, it is Columbus day, and thanksgiving in Canada, so watch for lower volume. The Kovach OBV is still pretty strong, so 4364 might be a lower bound for now. If not, we could break down into the previous value area between 4227 and 4364. Otherwise, watch for 4431 to continue to provide resistance.
Litecoin Retraces from Relative HighsLitecoin has pulled back from relative highs at around $184. We saw support at $174, as confirmed by a green triangle on the KRI. Litecoin appears to be establishing value between these two levels. But if we see a technical retracement, we will see support from $169 and $165. The Kovach OBV is still bullish, however and if we can break $184, the next target is $191, bringing us closer to the $200 handle.
Ethereum at Relative Highs!!Ethereum has been trending higher, inching out new relative highs. We have achieved $3646 again, but are seeing some red triangles from the KRI at this level indicating resistance. At this point, we might see a technical retracement that could bring us back to $3563, or $3473. After that, there is a vacuum zone to $3324. The Kovach OBV is still very strong however, so if we see a breakout the next target is $3861.
Bitcoin Makes New Relative Highs!!Bitcoin broke out again, inching just past its previous relative high. We are currently testing $55.7K, but facing resistance here. Bitcoin seems due for a reasonable technical retacement. This could take us back to $52.8K, or perhaps $50.8K. The Kovach OBV is still very strong, however, and if momentum continues, we must break through several key levels including $56.8K, $57.7K, then finally $59.4K before reaching the $60K handle.
Stocks Price in Debt CeilingStocks have gotten a lift from the debt ceiling news, however we are facing steep resistance from a cluster of levels in the mid 4400 handle, 4431 in particular. We are seeing a red triangle at this level confirming the resistance. Currently we are seeing support at 4389, as confirmed by a green triangle on the KRI. The Kovach OBV is strong, but has leveled off completely showing little or no conviction before the opening. If we do see a burst of momentum, we must first break 4431, then there is a vacuum zone to 4462. If we break down, 4364 should provide resistance.
