Crypto Trading Analysis: Markets Responding to Broad Volatility

Crypto Trading Analysis – Markets Responding to Broad Volatility

By Richard Cox

Crypto markets are responding to the broad volatility that has been encountered in equities markets (stock futures in the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and NASDAQ Composite).

BTC/USD – Ichimoku Weekly Chart

Catalyst Event: Bitcoin weekly charts see major development unfold as prices have made a clear break through the cloud structure (Kumo).

One-Month Trading Outlook: Bullish events in BTC/USD have made impressive rallies possible for traders during the middle portions of 2019.  At the same time, Crypto bulls have encountered some resistance at $13,868.44, which is the high from June 24th.

BTC/USD -Weekly Chart

Risk to trading stance:  Weekly indicator readings in the RSI remain bearish and we are rolling over from overbought territory.  This suggests that any significant failures from current levels could see extended downside follow-through in the event that important support levels at $9,071.00.

Key trading range: $13,868.44 –  $9,071.00. 

Trading Outlook: Downside moves through $9,071.00 will place price targets near $7,427.00.

ETH/USD – Ichimoku Weekly Chart

Catalyst Event: Bitcoin weekly charts see major development unfold as prices have made a clear break through the cloud structure (Kumo).

One-Month Trading Outlook:  Sideways trading conditions prevail.  Now that we have officially moved into the Ichimoku cloud (Kumo), unpredictable price action is likely to continue.

ETH/USD -Weekly Chart

Risk to trading outlook:  Since the Kumo is rapidly descending, we could see the structure tighten and this would increase the probability for an upside break.  Weekly indicator readings remain at middle levels, so there is little reason to believe this will be happening any time this week.

Key trading range: $363.30 –  $148.88. 

Trading Outlook: Downside break of $148.88 targets $83.17.
