Bitcoin soars to highest level since May


Bitcoin skyrocketed to its highest level since May after gaining more than 30% over the past seven days.



It rose 8% to $ 54,210, about $ 9,331 less than its all-time high in mid-April. Its market cap, meanwhile, exceeded $ 1 trillion.

The rally contrasts with the more mundane performance of traditional assets like stocks, bonds and gold, amid worries about high inflation and slowing economic growth.



Obviously, Bitcoin has already overcome the tribulation of China banning crypto transactions and the uproar surrounding El Salvador's adoption of the token as legal tender.

Optimists point out that it continues to gain traction in Wall Street as an independent asset class, and comments from US regulators allayed fears of tighter oversight.

Other digital coins, such as Ether, Binance Coin, Solana, and Dogecoin, also rose over the past seven days, but Bitcoin trading volumes remain two-thirds higher, said crypto exchange Kraken.

Trading Signal for BITCOIN for October 07 - 08, 2021: sell below $ 56,250 (+2/8)




The price of Bitcoin continued with its bullish rally after breaking and consolidating above the psychological level of 50,000. Since then, BTC reached the high of 55,684. Now it is trading above +1/8 of murray and very close to +2/8 of murray that is an extremely overbought level that suggests a high probability of a technical reversal.

Investors should expect a BTC correction in the coming days, as it is below +2/8 murray. So, a decline is imminent towards the support of 21 SMA located at 51,113 if the bearish strength prevails up to the support of the psychological level of 50,000 located at 8/8 murray.

On the other hand, if the price of Bitcoin continues to decline and consolidates below 8/8 of murray, a drop is expected to the key level of the dynamic support of the 200 EMA located at 46,409.

The oscillator of the eagle indicator yesterday touched the level of 95 in the 4-hour chart. This represents an imminent technical correction and BTC could fall to the immediate support at 51,113 level of the SMA of 21.

The eagle indicator remains above a bullish channel. The break of this channel could be a bearish signal for BTC, as it would indicate that the market is losing momentum and a trade volume is decreasing.

The short-term outlook for Bitcoin is seen on the positive side. The 200 EMA, which is now located at 46,409, is giving this optimism to the market. Any correction towards this level will be seen as an opportunity to continue buying BTC.

Reviews: XRPUSD continues to trade below short-term resistance.


XRPUSD continues to trade around $1.06. Price remains above the key support at $1 that was recently tested. Price also shows inability from bulls to break above the $1.09-$1.12 resistance level in order to proceed higher towards $1.23.



Red line - resistance

Blue line- support area

XRPUSD continues making higher highs and higher lows. Price is stalling below $1.10-$1.12 horizontal resistance level. Breaking above this resistance will be a bullish signal and will give us $1.23 as the next target. Support remains key at $1-$0.98. Bulls need to defend this, otherwise failure to stay above it, will be a bearish signal and could push price back to $0.85 and even lower.

Bitcoin: forecast worked out, investors are in the black. Is there a chance to get to 60,000?


According to Glassnode, nearly 95% of the bitcoin market is currently in positive territory. After the main cryptocurrency rose above $55,000, the number of profitable companies increased by 16%.

The data is based on an indicator created by Glassnode, which is designed to display the percentage of organizations on the network that are currently holding their funds in profit. To determine if the investor is making a profit, the indicator analyzes the "buy price", which is the price at the moment the coins were moved to the wallet, and then compares it to the actual price of bitcoin.

Previously, the marginal profit of legal entities was reached back in May 2021, right before the market collapse. The number of profitable bitcoin addresses on the network began to grow significantly after the cryptocurrency market hit all-time highs in 2020.

Correction: logic and probability

How to evaluate this information and what conclusions can be drawn? As noted, the last time the market hit 95% profitability, there was a major sell-off almost immediately. Bitcoin price has lost about 50%. This means that as soon as the indicators of the indicator grow, the number of traders willing to take profits also increases.

Technical correction scenarios

But let's take a look at the graph. Bitcoin has broken through the resistance zone 52,000.18 - 52,929.15, and will clearly stop below the level of 55,842.84. Today's daily candle is forming a pullback, and it is technically quite logical.

The mirror zone 52,000.18 - 52,929.15 is a very strong border. It will be possible to talk about the final victory of the cryptocurrencies after consolidating over it. If the price confirms it with an upward rebound as support, it will be an excellent signal, after which it will be possible to adjust to the historical highs.

But there is a second scenario for the development of events: the level may not be given away for no reason. After a rollback, there can be a struggle for the zone 52,000.18 - 52,929.15, it can be bargained, perhaps a decrease to $50,000 per coin. And even in this case, the correction will be natural.

In addition, Bitcoin grew almost non-stop for seven trading sessions in a row. Moreover, for the first time since mid-May, it rose above the area of 52,000.18 - 52,929.15. At the very least, profit-taking by speculators is quite possible.

Next milestones on the road to all-time high

Finally, when the correction ends, what are the growth targets? It is worth noting that since the daily candle is not closed on Thursday, it is possible that the losses of the day will be less than at the time of this writing. An earlier completion of the correction is not excluded, without reaching the support zone 52,000.18 - 52,929.15.

A breakdown of the level of 55,842.84 with a consolidation above will open the way for the main cryptocurrency first to the psychological level of $60,000 per coin, and then, when it is overcome, it will remain within reach of the all-time high.

Ethereum confirms further growth


Ethereum reached a fresh new high of 3,642.61 today. The bias remains bullish, so further growth is favored. The crypto has managed to take out strong upside obstacles signaling strong buyers and potential upside continuation.

ETH/USD is up by 0.79% in the last 24 hours even if it moves somehow sideways, and is up by 19.33% in the last 7 days. Bitcoin is still bullish, further growth could help the price of Ethereum to climb even higher.


ETH/USD TARGETING THE 3,700 PSYCHOLOGICAL LEVEL!



Ethereum has confirmed its breakout above the 23.6% retracement level, the immediate target is represented by 3,676.96 weekly R1. After escaping from the down channel and after consolidating above the median line (ml), ETH/USD is strongly bullish as the sentiment has changed.

The corrective phase has ended after failing o stabilize below the 50% retracement level. Personally, I believe that the upside scenario remains intact as long as the rate is located above the median line (ml).


ETHEREUM FORECAST!
The bias is bullish, so we could still search for new long opportunities. I believe that a minor retreat of consolidation above the 23.6% retracement level could offer new bullish signals. Making a valid breakout through the weekly R1 (3,676.96) validates a potential growth towards the upper median line (uml), around 3,900.

Bitcoin whales keep digital gold tight-knit and fuel bull rally



According to many analytical data, the bitcoin exchange rate became bullish after overcoming key resistance levels. Digital gold continues to grow and move to new record highs.

Yesterday, bitcoin was trading at $55,000, digital gold managed to break the downward trend line, which linked the September highs, about $52,000, as well as the record April highs - about $65,000.

Bulls managed to overcome an important resistance level of $52,900, which can have a positive effect on the bullish rally, now you can observe bullish territory on the crypto arena.

This trend is directly related to colossal spot purchases, as well as the fact that the SEC gives the green light to cryptocurrencies and will not ban them and strictly regulate them, unless, of course, they themselves will not get into trouble.

Such an upward breakthrough of bitcoin gives hope that it will update its record highs this month.

The prerequisites for growth are due not only to the accumulation of bitcoin by whales, but also to an increase in the volume of trading volumes.

Whales are the most significant figures in the crypto market, these are investors who own a huge amount of bitcoin.

The most iconic figures are humpback whales, which determine the weather in the market.

Since the end of September, the total volume of spot trading on the leading crypto exchanges has doubled and reached almost $45 billion per day.

According to the analytical company Sentiment, bitcoin whales have determined in advance what the trend will be now.

Since September, whales who own from 100 to 10,000 bitcoins have accumulated another 70,000, which is a record phenomenon since July 2019.

The growth of bitcoin for the week was about 13 percent, and in the April highs the increase was 15%. Bitcoin is moving in the right direction.

Technical analysis for Bitcoin



The bulls were busy completing the downward course and forming a rebound from the encountered support levels in the area of 41532.34 - 41028.86 (monthly Fibo Kijun + lower border of the daily cloud) during the past two weeks. The strategy has succeeded. At the moment, we were able to rise above all the closest resistance and attraction levels of this area. So, the daily cloud (48000.61), the final border of the weekly dead cross (51163.17), and the high of September (52873.23) were left behind. The upward movement continues.

A significant psychological level of 55000.00 is currently being tested. We observe a slight daily slowdown. In order to maintain opportunities and plan for the bulls, it is now important to maintain the reached positions. Even if there is no further progress yet, the achieved result also needs to be consolidated at the close of the week. The breakdown of the level of $ 55,000 opens the way to testing $ 60,000. After that, the most important thing is to break through the level of $ 65,000, which may not be implemented until April. The formation of a rebound from the encountered resistance of $ 55,000 will return Bitcoin to the overcame levels, which will now act as support levels of 52873.23 - 51163.17 - 48000.61.



The advantage in the smaller timeframes is on the side of the bulls. The current decline has led the situation to the first significant support – the central pivot level of the day (53533.35). If a rebound occurs, the range of the pivot point of classic pivot levels is quite impressive 56749.93 - 58650.62 - 61867.20. The loss of the central pivot level will focus bearish interests on testing and conquering the next key level of the lower timeframes – the weekly long-term trend, which is now set at 50200.79.


Ichimoku Kinko Hyo (9.26.52) and Kijun-sen levels in the higher time frames, as well as classic Pivot Points and Moving Average (120) on the H1 chart, are used in the technical analysis of this cryptocurrency.

Technical analysis of Litecoin for October 8, 2021



Litecoin is showing the first signs of upside acceleration as we would expect it within Livermore's accumulation cylinder. Litecoin is likely to move all the way to resistance in the 491 - 567 area before complete point 6 of Livermore's acc. cylinder and setting the stage for a decline in point 7. Ideally, point 7 will move all the way down to the support line, but it does not have to do so. We have lots of examples, where the decline in point 7 of the acc. cylinder terminates in the middle of the cylinder before taking off in the blow-off phase to much higher levels way above 567.

Technical Analysis of ETH/USD for October 8, 2021

Crypto Industry News:
The Ukrainian parliament adopted the long-awaited law on virtual assets in early September, when lawmakers approved it in the second and final reading. Laws to regulate cryptocurrency activities in the country passed its first reading last December, before being revised and re-presented to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in June this year.

In order to enforce the new regulations, the authorities in Kiev must amend the Tax Code and persuade the president to sign the law on virtual assets. However, Volodymyr Zelensky decided to return him to the Ukrainian deputy and demand some changes.

In addition to introducing key legal definitions relating to cryptocurrencies, such as "financial virtual assets", the document also sets out obligations between government institutions that are to oversee the circulation of digital assets under the jurisdiction of Ukraine. For example, if the assets are collateralized by currencies, they will be regulated by the National Bank of Ukraine, and if the underlying asset is a security, the National Securities and Exchange Commission will have the task.

The Act "On Virtual Assets" also provides for the establishment of a new regulatory body for the cryptocurrency market, reporting to the executive. This, according to Zelensky, "will require significant expenditure from the state budget," the press release explained. The reasons for the request for further amendments to the act were also given.

The newly adopted law recognizes virtual assets as intangible goods and divides them into two main categories: secured and unsecured. Cryptocurrencies will not be accepted as legal tender in Ukraine, and their direct exchange for other goods or services will not be allowed.


Technical Market Outlook:
The ETH/USD pair has been consolidating the recent gains around the level of $3,600 in extremely overbought market conditions. The bulls are not that keen to continue the rally straight away, so the short-term pull-back might occur soon. The key short-term technical support is located at the level of $3,489 and the next target for bulls is seen at the level of $3,677. Please notice the bearish divergence between the price and the momentum oscillator supports the short-term bearish view and even a deeper corrective cycle towards the level of $3,252.

Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - $4,444
WR2 - $3,970
WR1 - $3,761

Weekly Pivot - $3,277
WS1 - $3,057
WS2 - $2,590
WS3 - $2,360


Trading Outlook:
Ethereum have started the next wave up and violated the long-term target at the level of $3,550. The next long-term target for ETH is seen at the level of $4,394. Nevertheless, in order to continue the long-term up trend, the price can not close below the technical support at the level of $2,906. The level of $1,728 (61% Fibonacci retracement of the last big impulsive wave up) is still the key long-term technical support for bulls.
