Crypto Growth: Inverse Head and Shoulders PatternsBullish Signals for BTC and ETH: Inverse Head and Shoulders Patterns Emerge with Promising Targets" Bitcoin (BTC) is showing positive signs today, as an inverse head and shoulders pattern emerges. The successful rebound from the 29,500 USD resistance level indicates a robust pattern in full swing, with a technical target set at approximately 30,630 USD. Excitingly, Ethereum (ETH) is also revealing a similar pattern on its chart, suggesting a potential boost for ETH in the short term. This bullish setup indicates favorable price movements for both BTC and ETH, presenting enticing opportunities for traders and investors. The target for the inverse head and shoulders pattern in ETH is expected to be around the 1954 mark. Moreover, the total crypto market cap is also exhibiting a similar setup and appears to be heading towards 1.2 trillion USD. The overall market sentiment remains optimistic, adding to the excitement and potential for further gains.Longby VanRojasCapital0

TOTAL (Crypto Total Market Cap) Index Analysis 05/01/2022Fundamental Analysis: a very simple way of Fundamentally analyzing this Index is to look for the other markets indices including US and Europeans ones, such as Dow Jones and S&P 500, it is very observable that these Equity Markets are very much inflated and shall Retrace to the lower levels and correct themselves and get converged to their intrinsic values. in other word we can say the liquidity shall get diverted from these markets to some other Asset Class, this means gold and silver as well as Digital Assets which are Cryptocurrencies and their underlying technology such as Blockchain and even their future Projects like DeFi and related Financial and Applied Areas. By looking at the current statues of the Equity Indices and analyzing them we can come to the conclusion that these markets are doomed to fall soon hence a massive transaction of their liquidity to these new Asset class. lets look at some of our analysis on these Indices such as DJI: US 500: it seems very obvious to us that the collapse of these markets shall Couse a huge rise on other alternative markets assuming the minimum retracement or fall of 20% for each market and considering their Market capitalization of 40.7 Trillion for US500 and 10 Trillion Dollars of DJI and of course the market capital of other European markets. the Domino effect of markets fall shall consequences to the other markets fall around the world, we can expect minimum of 4 to 10 Trillion dollars of Liquidity shifts from these markets to the Crypto currencies Industry and ecosystems. these massive amount of liquidity shift shall Couse a huge pomp and rise in the new and even old Projects on various sectors of Crypto world. mean while we may have some more fall of the Total Market Capitalization of cryptos to lower levels due to some existing fear and Rug pool and Scam Projects but these events should not be having any long term effect and can get recovered on a very fast pace. the other factors of the wealth transition to the decentralized finance world can be the totalitarians policies and dids of the different establishments around the world such as China, India, middle east counties, or even the implode of some dictatorships systems Like turkey and Iran which will drive the Public funds to more stable and liquidly asset class such as cryptos. the world banking system too has lots of over leveraged Projects which can be liquidated and Couse a huge market collapse and distrust with their investors the public which will eventually Couse the wealth transition to the decentralized transparent venues such as Blockchain based Cryptocurrencies. Technical Analysis: There exist A Hidden Bullish Divergence of Price with MACD, it occurs on a Bullish trend and it is a very significant Sign of Bullish trend continuation. the Hidden Bullish Divergence is specified with the Green connecting lines. we draw the Fibonacci retracement from the low point of 0 to the ATH where we can see the dips of the Price falls are having perfect confluences with the Retracement Levels of Fibonacci hence we defined our two Targets using the same Fibonacci extension Levels. as the Markets fall chances are still exist, we can use the retracement levels of the Fibonacci to specify the support areas and the market Reaccumulating zones for its new bullish trend initiations. by BitonGroupUpdated 2211
Crypto Market updateSeems Like Crypto Getting Ready For Massive Bullish Rally Total Market Cap Breaks Falling Wedge + Bullish Flag Recently ( Extremely Bullish Signs) Now Testing Crucial Horizontal Resistance Once Resistance Got Cleared Expecting Decent Recovery In Alts Bitcoin Longby Worldofchartsfx8
BITCON, TOTAL MARKET CAP & DXY - POSSIBLE BEARISH SIGNSI know the sentiment of late has been very bullish on crypto especially with the Blackrock ETF on the horizon. They just resubmitted their ETF application to the SEC for review today and approval of this would very likely cause a crypto boom. However, the Total Crypto Market Cap is showing signs of weakness which is causing me to reassess our current situation. Until the approval of this ETF, the market is fair game. Given the overall bullish sentiment in the market, a strong pullback would make sense to check the market and close some over zealous longs. The DXY has also had a very hard sell off. A small recovery could also cause further downward pressure on the crypto market. Looking at the chart for Total Market Cap, I've outlined the bullish inverse head and shoulders we have forming. However, the right shoulder has made a lower high followed by a nasty sell wick back below the neckline. I think it is possible that we see a sell off here as we form more of a bullish continuation pennant in this right shoulder before take off. The daily MACD also just crossed bearish and has been signaling some bearish divergence compared to the price action. The DXY chart (which will be included below) also had a strong sell off last week. A small recovery might be in store and this would add further selling pressure on BTC and the crypto market as a whole. I want crypto to moon like everybody else, but the tea leaves are signaling the time might not be just yet. Keep your guards up and protect your funds because you'll want as much as possible in crypto in this next boom. LFG!!by jpbrown1023Updated 0
MARKETS week ahead: July 17 – 23Last week in the news Aside from general developments on financial markets, the previous week was the winning one for Ripple and altcoins. The court ruled that XRP is not a security, which significantly boosted the price of this coin. The US equity markets were further boosted by the market expectations of the soft landing in the US economy. At the same time, the same expectation pushed the value of USD and Treasury yields to the downside. Bitcoin is ending the week relatively flat and modestly above $30K, while Ether is holding above $1.9K. Ripple Labs made a huge win in a lawsuit with SEC, as the court ruled out that in terms of the US Laws, XRP is not a security. Other rulings stress that sales on exchanges and sales by executives are not securities. However, there is a tricky part to a court decision. Namely, such outcome is based on a fact that during early 2020 investors were not able to fully understand the crypto, their price was just a little fraction of their current prices and regulators were only mildly interested in these digital assets. It was a huge win for XRP, but not for all investors in digital assets. Namely, the second part of the ruling suggests that institutional sales could not be treated as the offer and sale of investment contracts. This part of the court decision might have some impact on other SEC`s lawsuits against Binance, Coinbase or Gemini. Analysts are noting that the SEC might use these court conclusions against these companies, so it is still not time for a celebration. Positive investors sentiment was supported by the latest published figures on inflation. The Producer Price Index for June showed that inflation is slowing down at a higher pace as anticipated by the market. PPI for June was 0.1% and lower from 0.2% market estimation. Core PPI also rose by 0.1%. At the same time, released figures for the consumer price index for June showed an increase of 3% compared to the year before, which is its lowest level since March 2021. Such development is supporting investor’s opinion that FED might be at the end of its quantitative tightening period. The SEC filed a lawsuit against Coinbase for its staking products more than a month ago, while California, New Jersey, South Carolina and Wisconsin requested changes in Coinbase staking products. Coinbase strongly disapproves treatment of its staking products as securities, but will pause offering these products in mentioned states. Larry Fink, a CEO of the world largest asset manager BlackRock, talked again about crypto, after his company filed for the first spot BTC ETF a month ago. This time he noted his observation that there is increasing demand for crypto assets from those investors who previously preferred to invest in gold. He was also mentioning the role of the ETF`s in allowing easy access to gold, where BTC ETF might do the same thing. He also noted that their ETF will be “safe, sound and protected”. Luxury industry is just heating up for the NFT market. A famous fashion brand Gucci is preparing to release a digital NFT collection called “Future Frequencies: Explorations in Generative Art and Fashion”. The collection will be offered for a sale at auction house Christie's. Crypto market cap A week like the previous one is rarely seen on the crypto market. A lawsuit between SEC and Ripple Labs, which lasted since 2020 is finally resolved. There is a mixed sentiment as to who actually won the lawsuit, however, the most important part is that XRP is ruled not to be a security, as per current Securities Law in the US. This had a huge implication also for other altcoins on the market, for which the SEC recently claimed that they are securities. Market reaction was quite positive, where altcoins were leading the increase in total market capitalization during the previous week. BTC was left behind in this round. Total crypto market capitalization was increased by 4% during the week, adding FWB:44B to the market cap. Major coins on the market were participating with a modest 30% in this increase. Daily trading volumes remained elevated around $82B on a daily basis. Total crypto market capitalization increase since the beginning of this year is 56%, where it has added a total $422B to the market cap. Bitcoin was not the one to lead the market during the previous week. The coin remained relatively flat, ending the week with a plus of only $2B or 0.36%. Absolute winner of the week was XRP who skyrocketed after the news about SEC dispute resolution with an additional $12B in value or 51% w/w. Other altcoins were following the XRP, but at lower levels. Among those coins were Solana, with an increase in market value of $2B or 26.7%, BNB added also more than $2B to its market cap, increasing it by more than 6%, DOGE, ADA and Polygon added more than $1B each to market cap, increasing it by 11%, 14% and 18.5% respectively. It should be mentioned that Stellar increased its value by 31% w/w, but in nominal terms this increase was below $1B. There were also coins which lost some of their value during the week, like Bitcoin Cash, which was down by 3%, Bitcoin Gold was down by 3.75%, Litecoin lost 3% in value, while Maker dropped by 5.5% w/w. As for coins in circulation, XRP increased its circulating coins by 0.6% w/w, Algorand continued with a strong push in circulating coins adding 1.8% during the previous week, while Tether gained 0.3% of new coins. Crypto futures market Previous week was a rare one where the crypto futures market was not fully aligned with the spot market, but certainly, there are quite positive developments. BTC short term futures were down by some 0.3% on average, however, long term futures gained significantly. In this sense, futures maturing in December this year were traded by more than 4% higher from the week before, ending the week at level of $33.105. At the same time, the price of futures maturing in December 2024 were traded almost 10% higher, with closing price at $35.840. More important developments occurred with ETH futures. Short term ones were traded by 2.5% higher from the week before. Futures maturing in December 2023 reached level above $2K for the first time since April, and were 8.6% higher from the previous week. On a positive side is also that futures maturing in December 2024 skipped the $2K level, ending the week at price of $2.187 and 9.4% higher from the previous week`s close. Such developments imply increased market sentiment for both coins, especially ETH, suggesting that the price of coins will reach higher grounds in the coming period.by XBTFX9
TOTAL CRYPTO MARKET CAP : Dump incoming?Let's face reality. CZ and Binance manipulation cannot last too long. SEC incoming. Ripple vs Sec doesn't means a lot for the Crypto enviroment. What they say about XRP Token and Ripple could develop in a more difficult restricted area. However, we only rely on fundamentals (almost 90%). So what's next? 18 Jul : Circle add to reserve 500mln$ from Tbill maturity 20 Jul : Circle add to reserve 1.5bln$ from Tbill maturity 20-21 Jul : Options trading Stop and Expire 25 Jul : Circle add to reserve 2.5bln$ from Tbill maturity 25-26 Jul : FED FOMC. Interest rate hike +.25 (highly chance). Just remember they need House market collapse, because it influence from 30% to 50% the inflation problems So, to keep it clear : Circle liquid reserve will rise by 4.5bln to about 6.5bln. Meanwhile Options expire exactly few days before the infamous FED FOMC Meeting. THE IDEA Now I've applied a FIB Time to Total Market Cap and it indicate 21 Jul as trigger momentum for a possibile drop. And events are all around it. Usually Crypto market shake about 3 days before events. Circle liquidity will be injected in the Tether USDT system (usually about 1bln or 2 bln) to keep the market price up ... but who know if Total Market cap can resist. Also we don't know how long can last the Tether USDT fraud. They stopped the printer around 83bln, exact the same level of past Crypto Drop. So stay alert. Everything is aligned for something freaky. Usually prices pump hard in no time, and XRP is ALWAYS your RED ALERT BUTTON. When XRP price pump (without any good news, admit it) you know...it's loading. Best part is HOW LONG can a possible Crypto Bear Market last ? Fib Time say 24 Jun 2024, almost an year from now. Next BTC halving is planned for April 16 2024 . Let's say the coincidence aligns. My Total Crypto Market Cap targets are about 550bln and 320bln. If it will happen hard time for almost all Crypto retails involved will came. Just a reminder for you : IF Bitcoin will stay at 50% dominance and IF Crypto Market Cap will reach 50% of actual value, this means next Bitcoin price will be AGAIN around 16K... otherwise if our target is 320bln, you know 1/4 means (25%) Bitcoin price at 7750$, where all is started (if Bitcoin keep the dominance at 50%) Not Financial Advice. Only idea about what can happen and how.Shortby STABLECOINS_GURU2

MARKETS week ahead: July 10 – 16Last week in the news The US equity market closed lower on Friday amid market expectations over further interest rates increase. At the same time, the crypto market ended the week modestly lower compared to the week before. Bitcoin is ending the week above $30K, while Ether is holding above support at $1.850. Whether it is just a seasonal effect, or the US jobs market is cooling down is about to be seen during the following months. Still, published data for June show that payrolls in the US increased by 209K which is far less from the market expectation of 240K. At the same time, the level of wages was up, as average hourly earnings in June were up by 0.4% m/m, which is 4.4% increase from the same period last year. This shows a bit of a mixed picture when the jobs market is in question, which increased market expectation that FED might bring rates higher in the coming month. According to the market poll, there is currently a 92% chance for rate increase at July`s FOMC meeting. In an interview with CNBC, Chicago FED President Austan Goolsbee noted his expectations that inflation can be brought back to target without a recession in the US. He stressed that the primary goal of the FED currently is to take inflation down to targeted 2% level with a “golden path” which does not include a recession. On the other hand, economists are convinced that such a pace of rate increases would certainly lead to at least modest recession in the coming months. Goolsbee`s recent notes are also not fully compliant with released June FOMC minutes. The Minutes revealed that some Fed officials are concerned over the possibility of a recession within next six months, followed by “moderately paced recovery”. During the previous week a lot of market and news attention was on the statement of the BlackRock`s CEO Larry Fink, who significantly changed his view on Bitcoin. Namely, in an interview he noted that Bitcoin could “revolutionize finance”, which is a significant shift in thinking from previous extreme skepticism toward the crypto coin. Analysts are noting that the initial idea behind the creation of Bitcoin was decentralization, where the middle-institution is not necessary, in which sense, they are arguing that BlackRock is entering the crypto area with wrong reasons. Just as a reminder, BlackRock recently filed with SEC for its first BTC ETF, still pending official conclusion. Problems for Binance exchanger continues to emerge. During the previous week, authorities in Australia demanded a copies of internal communication from both current and former employees of Binance. There is currently no official information what was the aim of these requests, or whether it is in connection to recent trials from US regulators, or raids within the EU of Binance exchanger. Crypto market cap The SEC issue over the question of what is and is not treated as a security in the crypto world is digested by the market, so now old issues emerge. Latest officially published job and earnings data in the US continue to send mixed signals, but due to an increase in wages in June, markets raised expectations of another rate hike in July. The sentiment has now increased to 92% for a rate increase at the FOMC meeting in July. Fed Chair Powell stressed potential two more rate increases till the end of this year, but it will take some time until monetary measures fully transmit into the economy. While economists are certain that there would be at least a modest recession, some Fed officials are stressing a possibility of no-recession. Total crypto market capitalization ended the previous week 2% lower from the week before, losing $24B in value. Daily trading volumes significantly decreased from the week before, trading around SGX:40B on a daily basis, from $94B a week before. Total crypto market capitalization increase since the beginning of this year is 50%, where it has added a total $378B to the market cap. Although during the previous week the market was generally oriented toward the short term correction, not all coins lost in value. Major coins were leading the drop in total market capitalization. Both Bitcoin and Ether lost more than $7B in value, leading to drop in market cap of BTC by 1.20% and ETH by 3.1% on a weekly basis. Due to issues with regulators in the EU and Australia of Binance exchanger, BNB lost $1.6B in value or 4.2%. Other coins with significant drop in value during the week in relative terms were ZCash, with a drop of 18%, DASH was down by 12%, same as NEO. Ethereum Classic lost 10% in the market cap, while Bitcoin Cash decreased its cap by more than 8%. Among coins which finished the week in green were Solana, with an increase of 19.2% in value, Polygon was up by 1.6%, Filecoin increased its cap by 6.2% and Maker managed to finish the week 11% higher from previous one. As for coins in circulation, Algorand increased its circulating coins by 2.6%, while Solana`s coins were higher in number by 0.5% w/w. Crypto futures market There have been some interesting developments in the crypto futures market when ETH is in question. Regardless of developments on the spot market and previous inverted futures curve, during the previous week, short term ETH futures were down by more than 3%, while longer term futures were traded up between 1.4% and 3%. This situation is not so frequently seen with ETH futures. ETH futures maturing in December this year were traded higher by 1.42% w/w, finishing the week at level of $1.935. At the same time, ETH futures maturing in December next year were traded at level $1.999 which is 3% higher from the week before. This implies that the market is perceiving some positive developments with ETH in the future period and potential that the price might return to the level of $2K during the course of the next year. BTC short term futures were traded in line with the spot market, down by some 0.7% w/. Futures maturing in December this year ended the week at level of $31.790 or 1.7% higher from the week before. However, futures maturing in December next year were down by 0.97%, ending the week at level of $32.610. by XBTFX10

MARKETS week ahead: July 2 – 8Last week in the news Both EU and US markets finished the week in green, mostly driven by stocks from the tech industry. June was an extremely good month for the S & P 500, considering that it managed to gain 6.5% during the month, and 15.9% since the beginning of this year. The crypto market was relatively flat during the week, although with good performance of altcoins. BTC is ending the week below FWB:31K , while Ether is holding above $1.9K. Equity markets in the US continue to be supported by the tech industry. Nvidia is certainly one of currently most interesting companies for investors, however, the biggest news during the previous week was that Apple reached a market cap of $3 trillion, after its share price reached $190.73. Share price of Apple has increased around 49% since the start of this year. Fidelity investment fund followed the steps of the BlackRock and filed with the SEC for their own BTC ETF. However, the Wall Street Journal reported that SEC returned filings from CBOE and Nasdaq for BTC ETF as being “inadequate” and not sufficiently clear. The major concern of SEC with a BTC ETF is its structure, which needs to be sufficient in order to prevent potential fraudulent and manipulative actions. Spokesman of the CBOE noted that they are planning to update filings and submit them once again. Bitcoin reacted to this news, by modest return to the levels below $30,5K, waiting for positive news in order to bring the price to the higher grounds. The FED published the results of an annual stress test on banks. The aim of this stress test is to show how resilient are US banks to highly adverse stress scenarios. Stress test is conducted by 23 largest US banks, and included scenarios of unemployment rate surging to 10%, a 40% drop in prices of real estate and 38% decline in housing prices. As per results published by FED, banks were able to sustain a $541 billion in projected losses and still manage to sustain minimum required capital levels. As CoinDesk is reporting, Kraken has been ordered by the court to provide account information to the IRS for all users which transacted more than $20.000 for the last calendar year. As it has been noted, the aim of these data would be for the IRS to check whether users have filed their taxes properly. Bloomberg is reporting that Citigroup, one of the largest banks in the world, is in negotiations with Metaco and several other crypto custodians, in order to expand its business to the digital asset area. It is also interesting that Metaco was acquired by company Ripple, which has an ongoing lawsuit with SEC, over its offer of crypto tokens. Problems for Binance continue, as the market regulator in Belgium ordered Binance to stop offering its services in this country. As it has been noted, the European financial markets regulator, FSMA, stressed that Binance is offering its services to EU clients from countries other than the European Economic Area, which is a violation of the local regulation. Crypto market cap It is still a game of nerves on the crypto market when dealing with regulators is in question. BlackRock was the first one to start another round of filing for spot BTC ETF. Several companies followed the move, among which were Fidelity fund, CBOE and Nasdaq. Based on news from the previous week, SEC rejected CBOE`s and Nasdaq`s filings as “inadequate”. The major issue for SEC continues to be the structure of the product which might allow potential fraudulent and manipulative actions. CBOE officials noted that they will update filings and start another round of the process for gaining the approval for BTC ETF product. Initial market positive sentiment is currently on hold, until it is finally resolved with the latest round of filings for the first spot BTC ETF. On the other side, the market is still waiting for the resolution of the Deutsche bank filing with German regulators for the license to conduct a custody service for digital assets, including crypto currencies. During the previous week total crypto market capitalization stayed almost flat, with a modest increase of 1% or FWB:14B on a weekly basis. Interestingly, daily trading volumes were further increased to the level of $94B on a daily basis, from $80B during the previous week and $60B from two weeks ago. This is positive signal that investors are back on the crypto market. Total crypto market capitalization increased since the beginning of this year by 53%, where it has been added total $402B to the market cap. During the previous period, Bitcoin was a leader of the crypto market capitalization increase, however, during the previous week altcoins were the one in the spotlight of investors. BTC finished the week flat compared to the end of the previous week. But, the absolute gainer of the week was actually Bitcoin Cash, which gained an incredible 56% on a weekly basis, adding more than $2B to its market cap. ETH also finished the week in green, with an increase in cap of more than $4B or 1.8%, and was followed by Litecoin with a gain of $1.2B or 19% in the market cap. Binance Coin managed to recover some of previous losses, by increasing its value by 4.7% or $1.7B w/w. Few other coins with good weekly performance were Bitcoin Gold, with a surge of 18.8% in cap, Stellar was up by 18.6%, ZCash gained 19.5%, Uniswap was up by 16% and Maker returned to the crypto game with an surge in value by 24.2% on a weekly basis. There have been only a few losers during the week, like Algorand, with a drop in value of 7%, OMG Network was down by 13%, and XRP lost almost 3% in value.
