Market Outlook #246 (twentieth November 2023)
Good day, and welcome to the 246th instalment of my Market Outlook.
On this week’s publish, I shall be protecting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Uniswap, Beam, Sushi and LayerAI.
Most of those have been reader requests this week – as ever, ship these throughout to me for subsequent week’s inclusion if there’s one thing particular you need taking a look at.
Bitcoin:
Weekly:
Each day:
Worth: $37.263
Market Cap: $728.411bn
Ideas: If we start by taking a look at BTC/USD, on the weekly timeframe we will see that worth closed final week at marginal new yearly highs, having depraved decrease in direction of the prior weekly low earlier than bouncing again above the $36k space and shutting shy of $38k resistance. While this was a terrific present of power from bulls and there are nonetheless no indicators but that we’ve topped on this timeframe, the actual fact we now have three consecutive weekly lows unswept because the breakout candle is one thing to bear in mind for once we inevitably do mark out an area high. We’re sat proper round prior help right here and above $38k we’ve no resistance into $39.6k, which I feel can be a pit cease earlier than the inevitable run into that main confluence of resistance at $42k: that is the place we’ve an necessary historic stage in addition to the 50% fib retracement of the complete bear market. Little question, if we will settle for above final week’s excessive this week, then that’s the extent we’re headed for earlier than marking out any high. If, nonetheless, we wick above $38k and shut the weekly again beneath it, I feel it seems to be extra seemingly we’d like some kind of sweep of draw back liquidity earlier than continuation.
Turning to the each day, we will see that worth is making greater lows on the each day having reset RSI after the momentum divergence, and prior resistance has grow to be help at $36k. Holding above that early this week is vital – break beneath it and I feel we’re taking a look at a transfer again in direction of $34.2k at least. Above it, nonetheless, I feel we proceed to push, with each day closes above $38k opening up the following leg greater after this consolidation in direction of $39.6k after which $42k. Nothing else so as to add right here actually besides that, if we do get a dip after this large rally, I’d be wanting on the vary between $31k-34k as a main shopping for alternative for 2024.
Ethereum:
ETH/USD
Weekly:
Each day:
ETH/BTC
Weekly:
Each day:
Worth: $2029 (0.05447 BTC)
Market Cap: $244.205bn
Ideas: If we start by taking a look at ETH/USD, we will see from the weekly that worth moved decrease to retest the trendline as help, bouncing and shutting proper again close to the weekly open, slightly below reclaimed resistance at $2037. There’s nothing about this that at the moment seems to be bearish to me: we’ve a powerful trendline breakout, with that trendline appearing as help, and consolidation proper at an necessary resistance stage. Above $1850, this stays the case, for my part. If we shut the weekly again beneath $1850, it’s seemingly we transfer to retest that $1717-1740 vary as help, the place bulls would search to type a higher-low. However for now, I count on to see any acceptance above $2037 this week result in $2172 giving approach after which a squeeze to fill within the hole into $2425. Dropping into the each day, we will see that RSI has reset as worth retraced into resistance turned help, failing to shut beneath $1957 on a number of makes an attempt. From there, worth has pushed up into $2036, which is vital resistance. Bulls need to see a each day shut above this adopted by that stage appearing as help. If we see that, lengthy your longs in direction of $2425. On this timeframe, indicators of weak spot can be rejection right here adopted by a each day shut beneath $1957.
Turning to ETH/BTC, we will see that worth rejected above the 200wMA once more final week, with 0.0577 appearing as resistance and sending the pair again beneath 0.055, with it closing at 0.0538. We’re at the moment sat between reclaimed help at 0.053 and the 200wMA as resistance. Clearly, the bullish state of affairs right here can be a weekly reclaim of 0.055 as help – in that state of affairs, I feel we see ETH outperform for a couple of weeks, pushing up into that trendline. Nevertheless, if we now reject the 200wMA once more and begin closing beneath 0.053, I feel the yearly lows at 0.051 get taken out and worth runs into 0.0487. Trying on the each day, we will see how 0.0533 is appearing nearly as good help at current however each day construction is bearish following the break again beneath 0.055; bulls really want to see that stage flipped as help as soon as once more after which we will count on to see one other check of 0.0577. Very clear construction right here.
Polygon:
MATIC/USD
Weekly:
Each day:
MATIC/BTC
Weekly:
Each day:
Worth: $0.858 (2303 satoshis)
Market Cap: $7.972bn
Ideas: If we start by taking a look at MATIC/USD, on the weekly we will see from the weekly that worth has rallied for a number of weeks after forming a backside above reclaimed help at $0.47, pushing by means of the 200wMA a few weeks in the past after which rejecting simply shy of $1 resistance final week, with worth now sat above reclaimed help at $0.75 and beneath $0.93 as resistance. From right here, I’d count on to see the 200wMA act as help if that is to stay short-term bullish, with any weekly shut again beneath $0.75 opening up a deeper retracement in direction of $0.62 to type a higher-low above the September-October backside there. If $0.75 holds this week, I’d count on one other crack at $1 to observe with nothing above that for one more 30% into $1.31. Dropping into the each day, we will see how worth rejected proper across the 38.2% retracement of the bear market, with the 50% confluent with that $1 space. Clearly, for bulls, $0.92 can not now act as resistance on a retest from beneath, else we’ve a decrease excessive and one would think about a deeper pull-back would observe, with the 200dMA aligned with reclaimed help at $0.68 as a primary space of curiosity. Settle for again above $0.92 and that is gonna squeeze a lot greater, for my part.
Turning to MATIC/BTC, we will see right here that worth rejected beneath the 200wMA, confirming it as resistance at 2450 satoshis and is now sandwiched between reclaimed help at 2100 and that 200wMA and prior help. Closing the weekly again above this is able to be a massively promising signal for bulls, and I’d count on a spot fill to observe again in direction of 3200 satoshis from there. If we shut the weekly again beneath 2100, that invalidates lots of this construction and bulls are again at sq. one, with the multi-year lows at 1700 satoshis in plain sight…
Avalanche:
AVAX/USD
Weekly:
Each day:
AVAX/BTC
Weekly:
Each day:
Worth: $22.17 (59,514 satoshis)
Market Cap: $7.926bn
Ideas: Starting with AVAX/USD, we will see from the weekly that worth has been on a tear this previous few months, rallying from the multi-year lows at $8.60 all the best way into $24.77 final week, closing marginally above help turned resistance at $21.70 that had capped the highs all 12 months. Quantity continues to develop but when we now see worth break again beneath $21.70, I’d be in search of $18 to carry as a higher-low given the power of the rally. Trying on the each day for extra readability, we will see how above this stage there may be little or no resistance in any respect again into $30, so any alternative to get lengthy on a pull-back right here can be golden; there may be some momentum exhaustion creeping in and if we do see worth retrace into $18, I shall be in search of indicators to get lengthy on the decrease timeframes, with a view to carry for that $30 stage. Under $18, a deeper pull-back would have us wanting on the vary between $12-15 for entries. In fact, if we aren’t gifted a pull-back in any respect and $21 acts as help this week, a each day shut above $25 will seemingly result in the remainder of that vary getting crammed in fairly rapidly.
Turning to AVAX/BTC, we will see that worth has rallied proper into a serious stage of prior help turned resistance, proper on the Might 2022 backside round 60k satoshis. Final week, worth depraved above this stage however closed again on the stage, and we now have a very robust vary of reclaimed help beneath at 48.5-41k satoshis the place a higher-low could look to type. If we do see that higher-low formation, and that aligns with an entry primarily based on the Greenback pair, the following space of resistance above 60k is that trendline and the 23.6% fib retracement at 84k satoshis…
Uniswap:
UNI/USD
Weekly:
Each day:
UNI/BTC
Weekly:
Each day:
Worth: $5.26 (14,109 satoshis)
Market Cap: $3.969bn
Ideas: Starting with UNI/USD, we will see that worth has lastly turned market construction bullish once more on the weekly after deviation beneath help at $4.21 led to a bounce off trendline resistance turned help and subsequent rally again above the extent, with worth closing firmly above $4.75 and persevering with greater. We are actually sat with $4.75 having acted as help final week and $5.68 as resistance above; if we will maintain above $4.75, I’d count on this minor resistance to present approach with $6.30 the main stage above to observe for. Nevertheless, if we see worth break beneath that reclaimed help ultimately week’s low, I’m in search of a return to $4.21 for a chance at a leveraged lengthy. I do have a spot place however I want to get levered publicity as near $4.21 as I can get it if doable. Dropping into the each day, we will see how worth reclaimed the 200dMA which is now appearing as help, however given how that performed out final time (August) it supplies confluence for the significance of holding above $4.75 right here for bulls. Above $5.68, there may be air into $6.30 after which into $7.50. Let’s see if we get the golden alternative for a leveraged lengthy…
Turning to UNI/BTC, we will see that worth broke beneath the double backside at 14.4k satoshis a couple of weeks in the past, capitulating into multi-year help at 12k satoshis after which reclaiming 14k satoshis as help since. Worth is now sandwiched in between prior help turned resistance at 15.3k satoshis and help at 14k. If this stage offers approach once more, I feel 12k is getting taken out and worth runs the all-time low at 9.9k satoshis, which might be an unimaginable long-term shopping for alternative if we’re to count on UNI to stay necessary subsequent cycle. Till that is again above 17k satoshis, nonetheless, I don’t suppose it seems to be notably robust.
Beam / Benefit Circle:
BEAMX/USD
Each day:
Worth: $0.0092 (25 satoshis)
Market Cap: $400.281mn
Ideas: While I’m conscious MC is now BEAM or BEAMX, for the needs of study I’ve shared the MC/USD chart right here in order that we will see all of price-history.
this, we will see how robust the reversal has been since turning the 200dMA into help, with worth now pushing up once more $0.93 as resistance, with that stage additionally being the final main resistance stage between right here and the following stage – 100% greater at $1.88. We’re seeing some momentum exhaustion right here as we come into this resistance, so if we’re to mark out an area high it will seemingly be round right here, however I’d count on any pull-back into $0.60 to be wolfed up given the power proven so far. For these in search of an entry, I’d search for $0.60-0.65 as a primary space of curiosity for spot, adopted by $0.44 if you’re fortunate sufficient to get it. For these already on the practice, benefit from the experience, as I’m anticipating a minimum of $4 to be hit in 2024.
Sushi:
SUSHI/USD
Weekly:
Each day:
SUSHI/BTC
Weekly:
Each day:
Worth: $1.08 (2892 satoshis)
Market Cap: $208.653mn
Ideas: Starting with SUSHI/USD, we will see from the weekly that worth has performed out its bear market in a textbook trend, capitulating into $0.48 (simply above the all-time lows) in Might earlier than forming a multi-month vary above this stage. Worth then ripped greater, rallying by means of $0.75 to show weekly construction bullish and persevering with by means of the year-long help for, 2022 at $0.90. Worth has since been consolidating above that stage as reclaimed help, and persevering with to carry above this stage can be very promising certainly for SUSHI bulls. If we do get a pull-back, look ahead to a pointy wick beneath $0.90 in direction of $0.75 and instant reclaim of the extent as help. That might be a sign to get lengthy if we see it. If we drop into the each day for readability, we will see how a swift transfer into $0.75 would additionally mark out a retest of prior resistance and the 200dMA as help, however I don’t know if we’re going to be granted such a chance. If not, I’d be in search of a each day shut above $1.30 after which look to lengthy the following pull-back for the vary play again into $2.
Turning to SUSHI/BTC, we will see that in contrast to the Greenback pair that is nonetheless capped by trendline resistance from the 2021 highs, however weekly construction is now bullish and worth is consolidating above prior resistance at 2700 satoshis. Clearly, the important thing right here for bulls is to carry this stage as help after which see a excessive quantity breakout above the trendline, reclaiming the Might 2022 lows at 3900 satoshis as help within the course of. If and once we see that, little question the start of SUSHI’s subsequent bull cycle is underway, for my part. If this trendline caps worth right here nonetheless and we transfer again beneath 2700, I feel we see the all-time lows retested, with a deviation and reclaim of 1830 being the golden alternative and certain the spring for the following cycle to start. Let’s see how issues unfold…
LayerAI:
LAI/USD
Each day:
Worth: $0.0124 (33 satoshis)
Market Cap: $3.951mn
Ideas: Lastly, let’s check out LayerAI – a microcap that has began wanting very promising, notably given the AI narrative that’s sure to develop in 2024.
If we have a look at LAI/USD, we cam see that worth misplaced 97% of its worth from the all-time excessive again in March into an all-time low at $0.005 in October, then rallying off that low to reclaim the June help at $0.0082 a couple of weeks in the past on rising quantity. Worth additionally closed above trendline resistance, turning it into help, and has since been consolidating between $0.0082 as help and resistance at $0.012, the place the 200dMA can also be sat. We’ve each day bullish construction right here additionally, and I’ve been shopping for inside this vary the previous week, wanting so as to add on acceptance above $0.014, with a view to carry for a full cycle (new all-time highs seemingly, for my part). Invalidation is a detailed again beneath $0.0082.
And that concludes this week’s Market Outlook.
