BTC is printing another strange drifting staccato structure that seems to be unique to crypto which unlike other markets does not follow typical regression - capitulation principles. But with that in mind from July and September I am (slowly) learning to not see this structure as capitulatory, but rather as neutral-bullish.
The main red flag for it being a pre-capitulatory structure is that it is holding this area too long. In other markets such structures are a pause for breath before further cliff falling, not a pause for dinner and an overnight stay with a cooked breakfast in the morning.
Daily RSI is now printing clear bullish divergence having touched the lower oversold band.
Also relevant I think is that SOW in D and A are holding price well.
So I think we'll either see a bounce right in this area, or a slump to SOW in A before a bounce.
If price gets to SOW in A, looking to past BTC antics I would not be surprised to see a sudden capitulation fakeout before a bounce. In fact that may be the most probable outcome.
This is a good time to look at alts and crypto related stocks, many may be getting ready to pop.
That said I dont rule out a collapse but for me thats probably around a 20% chance now and getting less every day BTC holds this area. But i'd like to see some bounce before entering any trades. I won't be catching any falling knives.
Please note - although I may enter a few trades, this is just for my development really. A more patient trader will do well to simply find the bottom which I think is a very long way down and I won't be entering a significant % until then. Ultimately if BTC does bounce it is a dead cat bounce, but that may be reflected with big bounces and some higher highs in alts.
Not advice.
