Investing isn’t a sprint but in the cryptocurrency world we have some sprints and also consolidation periods. Overall we move slower than everyone buying this local tops think we will. We saw far too much hype in the past four weeks with analysts suggesting 30k targets for this year when price was in fact much higher than fundamentals and some slower indicators like the 200 Moving Averages.
Nonetheless
using more conservatives entries anything below 9k can be a good entry for the
next 3 months and more. We really need to see how price action evolves after breaking
down this red line but before it happens the idea is quite simple: above 10k
Supply is in control (until it isn’t), below 9k Demand should be in control.
Historically any break below the 100SMA is sharp and quick but since this Bull Market is still at the beginning we may have a longer consolidation period and we may even test the 200SMA.

About alts, it’s still unclear when the altseason may start so better to wait until we have a clear and strong signal, for instance alts pumping more than 15% in a single day.
Sometimes we need to wait and wait and wait, until something really interesting happens. BTC performed an amazing run but alts keep lagging.
I still expect an alts season to start this year but who knows how long we need wait. Meanwhile I have one more chart to share, it may be an interesting one to watch in the coming weeks/months.

ETH and XRP have very different value propositions and use cases, nevertheless together they represent, at the moment, a bit less than 20% of the Total Market Cap.
If we merge their Market Cap we can see they already broke out from a descending wedge and this Top2 is now fighting for another breakout from an ascending triangle.
Adjusting some settings on the Major Mayer Multiple, for example the Slower MA ( SMA #B) to 400 (instead of 300) and the MMM EMA to 50 (instead of 14) we obtain some interesting results, other setting are also interesting but for mid/long term cycles this two changes can be revealing.
We keep monitoring the crypto market but we still need more confirmations for some kind of Bullish Reversal. Anyway we can expect volatility from here since many people are waiting for the same, this can be good or bad but we can’t guess if this time we actually start breaking more resistances or if we keep failing as we did many times in the last months (year).
12H Top5 Alts
In the short term things look better with many supports playing out but they can start failing. Keep checking the charts we previously shared on tradingview and also this new one.
Total Market Cap is looking better but we need to stay very cautious trading this bottom. At the moment we have an impressive volume pushing us in the right direction, we started breaking some resistances, some alts already broke their downtrend and it seems that the buying pressure may increase as alts will start retracing (providing better entry points than now) nevertheless nothing is granted.
I’m looking for a confirmation of an Adam and Eve bottom (even if the Eve low is 10% above the Adam low, not really perfect) expecting that should push us out of the broadening wedge (green lines). It may happen soon or not but a pullback from here is quite expected. Using the Total Market Cap we may pullback 10/15% but better not to fall more than that or we may move below our supports (yellow and blue lines) invalidating a move higher in the short term.

Using the VPVR (Volume Profile) we have almost no price action between 150B and 170B, meaning this range can easily be skipped by buyers and sellers, nevertheless we have the 200 Daily MA playing as resistance. Usually we expect some support/resistance from the 50MA and 200MA but breaking them easily also happens often as we can see recently with EOSUSD but sooner or later a retracement happens.
EOSUSD (50MA Yellow, 200MA Red)
For any MA to be a strong Resistance or Support it needs multiple testes and failures. For instance on EOSUSD the 50MA and 200MA are very far from each other and the 50MA is still below the 200MA, so the 50MA will be our next support and the 200MA will remain the resistance (even if it broke, it will likely not last longer).
