Bitcoin’s daily chart is flashing caution after a sharp reversal candle on Monday was followed by downside continuation today. Yesterday’s session printed an unmistakably ugly candle – a long upper wick signaling rejection at the highs near $120K, with a close well off the top of the range. Crucially, that candle came on elevated volume, adding weight to the move...

Bitcoin just closed another weekly candle near its highs – and this one confirmed what the last few were hinting at: the bulls are fully in charge. Price exploded through the \$112,000 resistance level, turned it into support, and barely looked back. The move wasn’t subtle either – it was loud, confident, and backed by a strong candle with virtually no upper wick....

Quick update on ETH/BTC. As discussed, ETH is finding strong resistance at the daily 200 MA, riding it down for 5 days. On the ETH/USD chart, the 50 and 200 MAs are in the rearview. A break above the 200 MA on the daily chart vs. BTC could signal a major move in altcoins.

Bitcoin briefly made a new all-time high yesterday, tagging $112,000 before pulling back slightly. The breakout came after a multi-week consolidation that formed higher lows and built pressure just below resistance. Price is now hovering just under that key $112K level, which has become the short-term line in the sand for bulls. A daily close above would confirm...

Ethereum is making a strong weekly push into resistance around $2,817 – a key level that acted as support throughout 2023 before flipping to resistance in early 2024. Price is now testing this zone after a steady string of higher lows, and the move is backed by increasing volume, signaling genuine momentum. ETH has already reclaimed its 200-week moving average and...

The ETH/BTC daily chart shows a prolonged consolidation phase following the explosive breakout in early May. Since then, price has been range-bound between approximately 0.022 and 0.026. We're currently sitting near the EQ (equilibrium) of the range – around 0.0240 – which often acts as a temporary magnet for price and a decision point for direction. Importantly,...

Bitcoin continues to hold strong just below resistance at $112K after a clean reclaim of the $105,787 support zone and the 50-day moving average. Price is consolidating in a tight range, printing higher lows and showing signs of strength as it flirts with a potential breakout. Volume has tapered off slightly during this sideways action, which is typical in a...

Bitcoin is quietly grinding higher, holding above the key $105,787 level after reclaiming it with authority. Price is consolidating just under $112,000 resistance, pressing against the top of the range while riding the 50-day moving average like a support rail. The dip to $100,716 was a trap. Buyers stepped in hard, and price hasn’t looked back. But without a...

The jobs report just dropped and was stronger than expected. That means the Fed has less reason to cut. That means less chance of immediate liquidity. Since we live in the upside down, apparently more jobs are bad for markets. And we generally see Bitcoin react first and then quickly go back to trading on its own. All of that said, this is an interesting spot....

Ethereum is battling the daily 50 MA on the ETH/BTC chart, a key area of resistance. If it beaks above, we could see a nice altcoin rally and Ethereum outperforming. If it gets rejected… more of the same.

Bitcoin just pulled off a clean bounce off support, landing perfectly on the 50-day moving average around $105,800 – a level that’s repeatedly proven its importance. The move came with a solid +2% daily candle, reclaiming lost ground and putting the bulls back in control for now. Price is still trapped under the descending trendline just below $112,000, which has...

Bitcoin is currently consolidating just below a clear descending trendline, showing a series of lower highs since its recent local top near $112,000. Price is hovering around $106,300, holding just above key horizontal support at ~$105,800. This level coincides with the 50-day moving average (blue), which is currently acting as dynamic support. So far, Bitcoin...

Bitcoin continues to press higher with quiet confidence. After reclaiming the $106,787 resistance level with a strong daily close last week, BTC has held the breakout and is now consolidating just above it – a textbook bullish retest. The 50-day moving average is rising beneath price, offering additional support as momentum builds. We’re seeing a small cluster of...

Ethereum is caught in no-man’s land. After a sharp rally in May that pushed price cleanly above the 200-week moving average, ETH has now slipped back between the 200 MA (around $2,400) and the 50-week MA (just under $2,600). It’s a classic case of being stuck in the middle – too weak to break higher, too strong to roll over completely. This is where momentum goes...

Bitcoin continues to keep traders on their toes. After briefly sweeping the lows below \$100,000 earlier this week – an aggressive shakeout that likely liquidated overleveraged longs – it staged a sharp recovery. We’re now seeing price comfortably above the 50-day moving average, with back-to-back daily candles holding above the key \$105,787 level. That’s the...

Bitcoin continues its rally, now pushing toward $107K after a sharp three-day surge. The key development here was a sweep of the range lows just below $100,000, where price wicked down, flushed weak hands, and immediately reversed with authority. That fakeout move set the stage for a strong bounce, triggering what now looks like a classic deviation below...

Bitcoin’s daily chart shows a textbook liquidity sweep followed by a strong recovery. After dipping below the critical $100,000 psychological level late last week, price tagged a low around $99,000 before reversing sharply. This move likely shook out overleveraged longs and trapped breakout shorts – setting the stage for a high-volume bounce. Importantly, BTC...

Bitcoin just performed a textbook liquidity sweep, dipping below the psychological $100,000 level and the early June swing low near $100,377. This move triggered stop-losses and drew in short positions before quickly rebounding back above support – a classic example of "grab and go" price action designed to collect liquidity. This kind of move often traps...
