Technical Analysis

Total Market

Fig 2 - Total Market Daily

The Total market made a spinning top on Sunday, with a large lower wick that shows buyers are buying the dips. Currently, it continues moving following the +1 sigma line a, as the RSI moves horizontally.

Technical Factors

• Linear regression channel points up +

• Prices above the +1 sigma side of the Bollinger Bands +

• Prices above its 20- 50- and 200-day SMA +

• 50-SMA above the 200-SMA +

• Bollinger bands move slightly up +

• RSI sideways N

Total Market Outlook

Although the underlying trend is bullish, as evidenced by the technical factors, short-term, the market is still moving without direction. Thus, traders should rely on the individual condition of the assets to make trading decisions.

Bitcoin

Fig 3 - Bitcoin 4H Chart

Bitcoin moves sideways after the sharp spike made on Sunday afternoon. The big picture shows Bitcoin creating an ascending triangle that started on May 07. The ascending triangle is making higher lows, and the upper edge is, not surprisingly, the 10,000 level. After Bart Simson's pattern created last week, the price is drifting sideways.

Technical Factors

• The slope of the Linear Regression Channel is positive +

• Price above its 20-, 50- and 200-SMA +

• Price action at the Pivot level N

• Bollinger Bands horizontal N

• RSI hook up +

• Prices move on the lower half of the regression channel -

• Low traded volume -

Bitcoin's Outlook

Bitcoin's technical factors show a bullish trend, although, as said, short-term, the price is moving sideways on low volume. This critical state can be solved by a sharp move up above $10K or a drop below $9,300. The levels to watch are $9,800 to the upside and $9,400 to the downside.

Pivot Levels

Ethereum

Fig 4 - Ethereum 4H Chart

Ethereum is creating a consolidation at the top of the trading range after a sharp bounce made on Sunday. The price is held by the regression line (dotted) and moves currently above the +1 sigma line of the Bollinger bands. We also see the RSI making a hook to the upside.

Technical Factors

• The slope of the linear regression channel is positive +

• The price above its 200-, 50- and 20- SMA +

• The slopes of the 20- 50- and 200-SMA are positive +

• Price in the upper side of the Linear Regression channel +

• Bollinger turning up +

• Prices moving above its pivot level +

Ethereum's Outlook

Ethereum's outlook is bullish. Currently moves slightly sideways as the overall market is held by Bitcoin's inability to step up. Still, Ethereum is below three resistance levels, 247, 250, and 253; thus, the reward/risk factor of a trade is inadequate.

Pivot Levels

Ripple

Fig 5 - Ripple 4H Chart

Ripple continues moving sideways in a tight range after a recovery below $0.20 made on Sunday. The price moves in the middle of the wholly shrunk Bollinger bands as the RSI drifts sideways in the middle of the range.

Technical Factors

• Linear regression channel has a positive slope +

• Prices below Pivot level -

• Bollinger bands shrunk and moving sideways N

• RSI sideways near 50 N

Ripple's Outlook

Ripple's volatility is minimal; thus, it is untradeable at the moment.
