The new week promises to be interesting and exciting with several key events:
As mentioned earlier, ETH is the primary focus, especially with the impending ETF news. Despite the poor performance of altcoins thus far, ETH remains my strongest conviction play for capitalizing on a potential strong upward move fueled by this news. The ETH/BTC pair also looks relatively strong and stable. I am maintaining a long position taken previously, after having taken some partial profits at $3,500.
Despite the seemingly positive appearance of the chart, the general outlook for altcoins remains bleak, particularly for leverage trading. Recent price actions and drops reinforce this view. Here are some key points:
In simple terms, many altcoins are currently well discounted, presenting good opportunities for long-term holds according to the TOTAL3 chart. However, recent sessions have demonstrated that altcoins remain weak against BTC. Many altcoins retrace quickly after any pump, underscoring the need for strict risk management and discipline in leverage trading.
If some tips could be given; it would be to focus on the strongest altcoins and those fitting current narratives, such as AI and ETH related ones.
Solana remains one of our favorite coins to pick, and there are several compelling reasons for this:
Given the potential for an ETF and the recent technical developments, Solana could see speculative upside despite the overall weakness in altcoins. Alongside Ethereum, Solana should be closely monitored in the coming days and weeks.
The current analysis of the DXY (US Dollar Index) indicates that the uptrend is being respected, maintaining its bullish momentum since breaking through the 105.5 resistance level. Here are the key points:
While the technical analysis is clear, it’s crucial to consider the upcoming economic news, which could influence the DXY significantly. Bad figures, especially related to inflation, could reinforce the current uptrend. The situation will be reassessed after today’s PMI. It’s important to monitor the structure closely, as a break could indicate a shift towards 106 or 104 level, depending of the numbers we get.
Last Friday’s closing session was quite eventful, with the SPX taking a hit after printing a new all-time high. Here are the key points of the current analysis:
• Current Contest: Bulls and bears are still contesting around the current Point of Control (PoC) at 5,275.
• Long Entry Plan: I am waiting for the bullish order block (OB) around 5,425 to be tapped before entering a long position. This plan will only be canceled if we receive unfavorable data figures.
If the SPX remains as strong as it has been recently, supported by robust figures, it is likely to print another new all-time high. The trend is currently very bullish, and I would not bet against it without clear signs of a reversal.
