Bitcoin Pulse


Bitcoin (BTC) finally turned around after surviving a record 9 consecutive red weekly candles. After a midweek spike and a Bart Simpson-style range and crash, BTC established a new support level at $30k. Analysts seem to agree that we are still in an accumulation phase for BTC, possibly the “Accumulation Phase of a Lifetime”.

  • Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Bitcoin diverged to hit a 1-year low at 34 while Bitcoin dominance rate hit a 1 year high of 47. The combination could possibly signal a bullish trend reversal.
  • A BTC price squeeze is charting a bullish reversal ascending triangle pattern. If validated, we could see Bitcoin push up through $38k. If not, we may see more selling off if price falls below the triangle's trendline support line.

2-hour Chart


On the 2-hour chart, we can see Bitcoin trading sideways. It dropped below it’s Fibonacci Pivot point (P line in green) after failing to break through R1 (first line of resistance). The most expected output would be a reversal above S1 towards the pivot point mid range ($30.5k). Otherwise, the next bearish target would be S2 at $28.6k

Weekly Chart


As shown on the 2-hour chart, BTC kept moving in a tight range all week despite a failed tentative to break through the resistance near $32k. This weekly candle appears to form again an inverted pattern hammer, erasing the small gains of the previous week.

Altcoins on the Move


It was a choppy week for alts but most ended up where they started. Chainlink (LINK) and Helium (HNT) posted significant gains while Ethereum (ETH) has been consolidating around the $1800 price line. Cardano (ADA) experienced a nice 16.3% pump on news of Grayscale allocating more ADA to one of its funds.

  • Tron (TRX) announced it would overcollateralize its $USDD stablecoin, including over 14,000 Bitcoin, in light of Terra’s recent algo stablecoin fail.
  • The ApeCoin (APE) community voted to remain on the Ethereum network after a controversial token launch and amid concerns over high gas fees.
  • Grayscale increased its Cardano (ADA) allocation to 32.33% in its smart contract Ex-Ethereum fund.

Optimism (OP) Early Price Evolution

  • Optimism recently launched their OP governance/utility token and staged a somewhat controversial airdrop.
  • For one, they inadvertently sent 20 million OP (worth $15 million) to an incorrect address for a liquidity provider. Before they could address the issue, a hacker got a hold of the tokens, who has since moved 1 million OP to Vitalik Buterin's wallet and offered to return more.
  • Some of the 250k eligible community members didn’t get their airdropped tokens, and many of them sold immediately, tanking the price.
