BTC/USD

The price of BTC increased $642 in just 3 hours of a rally, going up to $6,520 exceeding Pivot R1 but for a short time since the price stabilised at this level. The price also crossed the upper line of the descending channel and it is likely that if the bears generate some pressure in the next few hours we can see it return to the channel.



Oscillators and indicators are showing that BTC momentum is slowing down, the RSI and stochastic are showing
overbought levels and pointing down, this could lead to the price to lose some value in the short term.

4-H chart technicals signal a Bullish sentiment.

Oscillators are in overbought zone pointing down.

ETH/USD

ETH has gained 8.84% in the last 24-H due to the big rally behind bitcoin yesterday, the price of ETH is currently at $447.5 being held by the EMA-50 on this 4-hour chart and is also stopped by the Pivot R1.



The pair are still inside the bearish channel and it is possible to see a retracement due to the indicators pointing down and the overbought levels that can let the bears enter the market in the next hours.

S3 374.73

LTC/USD

LTC has gained 10.72% in the last 24-H following the BTC path yesterday as did most of the cryptos. The pair had a big rise of 11 dollars but the strength was not enough and pivot R1 was stronger which bounced the price in this line around the $82 mark. At this time the price is close to $80.90 and setbacks are expected due to the high overbought levels as there are no fundamentals that can move the market this weekend.

ETH 4-H chart technicals signal a Bearish sentiment.

S3 66.1409


Conclusion


The recent increase in price in the BTC is more than a bull cycle or a change in trend, this was an unexpected gain in value for most of the cryptos and it is most likely that most of them will return a little of yesterday’s winnings.

Daily Crypto Update 21.06.2018 – Permanent Indecision

The market is moving sideways today and there is not a real direction we can say it is going in right now. Most of the cryptos in the market have a lot of barriers to break in order to consolidate prices. Only 27 of the top 100 cryptos appears in green which is showing us that we are more likely to see a move down today.

Analysis


XRP/USD

The price of XRP has lost 1.14% in the last 24 hours and is trading above $0.53 after having rebounded in the EMA-50 in this 4 H chart. The pair is bearish in the last hours since the sellers have pressed hard and the attempts to exceed $0.54 have been unsuccessful. The price could continue to fall and reach $0.5286 (61.8% Fibonacci).

S3 0.4962

LTC/USD

Litecoin hasn’t been able to recover the $100 level and has been repeatedly bouncing in the EMA-50. The price will have to beat several lines in order to go for the $100 again, such as $97, very close to the Central Pivot Point. If the $100 level is achieved the bulls would have a good opportunity to look for higher levels such as $107 and then $110.




The next strong support is S1 Pivot Point in $95.93. Below that, there are no more barriers until the S2 Pivot at $93.96.

S3 92.41

BTC/USD

BTC has lost 0.85% in the last 24 hours and is moving right now at $6,717, trying to break the Central Pivot Point at $6.710. The buyers are trying with no success to get the $6,800 but this is a very important number because a break above this can send the price towards the $7,000. We can see here in this 1H chart a contracting triangle formed with support at $6,684 and resistance close $6,770.


The price is approaching both break lines of the triangle and I think the price will break below $6,700 to look for the S1 Pivot at $6.606.


Market sentiment

1-Hourly chart technicals signal bullish.

Oscillators are showing mixed signals.

Conclusion 


The market continues indecisive but with a more downward trend in the pairs analysed today. There is a weekend coming where we must be very attentive to maybe strong movements, mainly bearish. However, many investors will be hoping for an upward trajectory that has not been seen in months.

As the market is in green again and we are waiting for further positive movements because many of the cryptos are gaining upside momentum, we will see if this weekend does not surprise us like the last weekend and the market can sustain itself this way. Although the trend has not been reversed so we have to be careful.
