Bitcoin (BTC) Grinding Slowly Higher, Ethereum (ETH) Outperforms

Bitcoin is stuck in the middle of a short-term box structure as buyers and sellers battle to get the upper hand. In the last two weeks, any sharp sell-off has been gradually pulled back with the 200-day simple moving average acting as support and providing a springboard for a move higher. The slope on the 200-day sma is just tilting higher and if this remains the case then Bitcoin will continue to edge back towards $50k. The chart is showing mixed technical signals with a short-term series of lower highs now meeting this week’s run of higher lows, suggesting that a breakout is imminent. There is also a bullish divergence growing between the CCI moving higher while the price of Bitcoin has fallen since the start of the month. Further sideways price action is expected in the coming days but a breakout cannot be ruled out.

Bitcoin (BTC) Grinding Slowly Higher, Ethereum (ETH) Outperforms

The sharp move higher in the Ethereum/Bitcoin spread is consolidating today above two levels of resistance that turned into support recently. The move higher is being driven by Ethereum outperformance and as long as the pair do not close and open below 794, then this move looks likely to continue. All three simple moving averages are currently adding support to the move, leaving 860 and 884 as the next level of resistance.

Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Elliott Wave Analysis Indices: Meta Platforms should find support in the 400 - 380 area. Amazon dropped less but has the same bearish pattern and these moves move the Nasdaq and SP500 which in turn moves the DAX etc. Today I look at the bigger picture and the details on these stocks and Indices to make sense of the next possible pathways.

    • Yes Goldenbrown, I think you make a good point about being careful when trading.  In my opinion, only trades which are calculated to have a high probability of being correct should be placed. DAX is a market that can look daunting at first, but after a lot of study and experience with it, I have found it to be easier than the others. If you would like to see the answers to your other points, please see my IG Community Profile. Best regards.
    • Renzo leads the charge in revolutionizing staking protocols through the implementation of EigenLayer. This pioneering approach streamlines user re-staking while addressing concerns regarding operator selection and reward management. Participants stake ETH and earn APR from both native and EigenLayer restaking, receiving ezETH tokens—liquid assets for DeFi. Renzo's vision extends to interoperability across Ethereum and Layer 2 chains like Arbitrum, Linea, Mode, Base, BNB, and OKX, ensuring accessibility across diverse ecosystems.Renzo's standout feature lies in the ezETH token's appreciation over time, driven by promised APR, potentially offering superior returns. Seamlessly integrated into DeFi liquidity pools and lending protocols, ezETH provides diversified earning avenues. Compared to similar projects, Renzo distinguishes itself with its innovative liquid staking and interoperability. Supported by investments from Binance Labs and OKX Ventures, Renzo's listing on exchanges like Bitget further solidifies its significance. With 10% allocated for ETH stakers, Renzo fosters community engagement.Eager to explore how Renzo's liquid staking model stacks up against traditional staking? Let's delve into the details!"
