Bitcoin Crashes Below $30,000, Bear Market Or Bullish Setup?
Bitcoin has finally crashed below $30,000 for the first time in a month after the digital asset had recovered above this point following the crash to the $28,000 range in the last month. Market volatility levels have continued to remain low while the digital asset price continues to suffer. Market sentiments seem to remain in the extreme fear range as investors hold off putting more money into digital assets. Bitcoin continues to show bearish tendencies as, despite best efforts, bulls have not been able to drag the coin out of its three-month-long decline. Breaking the critical $30,000....

Following up on the weekend look at Bitcoin’s long term price chart, we will look again today at the long term (8 day candle) chart of BTC, per Kraken. Over the weekend we looked at a Bull Setup. As we saw, that setup suggests a bull move that will likely last several more months. But of course, it goes without saying that there are both bulls and bears in the market at pretty much any given moment. I expect that is well understood by everyone reading this article. So, it is not enough to just look at a bull setup as we did in my last article. We want to gauge bear strength also. So let’s....
With all the excitement in the Bitcoin market recently, I have not paid a lot of attention to Ethereum. However, this asset deserves our attention. It is signalling that a new advance might be in the making. Let’s look at a bear setup on long-term 2-day chart: This bear setup from the ATH shows 2 successful tests of support at the 1st arc pair. I don’t imagine I need to explain here why this bullish. However I want to point out that the blue arrow is highlighting a test of the 1×1 Gann angle. The 1st test of resistance was unsuccessful (from a bull point of view). However, price is once....
Ethereum is, imho, the play of the day. We have finally gotten a likely close on the long-term daily chart on the sunny side of the 3rd arc. This is not trivial. This development is supported by several other geometric considerations of the chart. For instance, here is a short-term bear setup from the recent swing high: As you can see, we have a significant green candle that occurred EXACTLY at 3rd arc support, and exactly at the end of the 2nd square. There is more. Here is a long-term bear setup of the same chart: This long-term bear setup, most amazingly, ALSO shows a bounce off 3rd arc....
Bitcoin managed to touch the 5th arc pair of resistance on the 2-hour chart setup. This generated a sell signal. Since then it managed to re-test the arc and was rejected. The long-term trend is still up. But the short-term trend is likely going to be down. Looking at this bull setup, a reasonable target is the 1×2 Gann angle at ~ 940. Let’s look at a bear setup from the swing high of $1050 (Kraken): I have overlaid the bear setup on top of the bull setup and have labelled the intersection of the 5th arc pair of each setup. There are arrows at each point that stand out as likely targets in....
Today we will look at an 8-hour chart of DAO. As many here will be aware, it has been relatively lackluster ever since events of last June. There are two distinctly obvious ways to draw a bear setup on this chart. It is very hard, maybe impossible, to know which of the setups is the “best” one. There are many clues, but in the end, the fractal nature of the market makes any reasonable Gann setup work, at least for a while. Having said that, let’s look at this setup: We can see ample indications that the market respects the setup, as indicated by the arrows. I won’t bother pointing out the....
