The results of the US election on November 4 are coming soon, let's briefly discuss the impact of two possible outcomes on the cryptocurrency market.
Outcome 1: Trump is elected.
1. The new Republican Party platform will become more important: ending the US government's crackdown on cryptocurrencies, defending the rights of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining, self-custody, and trading freedom.
2. Trump will appoint a new SEC chairman, with three candidates who are favorable to the crypto space: Dan Gallagher (Chief Legal Officer of Robinhood, which fully embraces the crypto space), Chris Giancarlo (former CFTC chairman, nicknamed the father of crypto), and Hester Peirce (one of the current five SEC commissioners, nicknamed the mother of crypto).
3. The DOGE division will be officially established, and cutting the budget department will surely generate news, bringing Dogecoin's exposure to another level.
4. Short-term benefits of Trump-themed coins will be fully realized.
Outcome 2: Harris is elected.
1. The steps towards regulatory openness for the crypto space will not be as significant. Gary Gensler may become Treasury Secretary, and among the new SEC chairman candidates, only Chris Brummer is crypto-friendly, but being a law professor may lead him to be similar to Gary after taking office.
2. Trump may go to jail, Musk may be targeted, and companies in the crypto space that support Trump may face scrutiny, especially those that align with the knowledgeable king out of fear of SEC action, such as Kraken and Gemini. The aforementioned related concept coins may face a deep pitfall.
3. Harris's climate policy will negatively impact high-energy-consuming POW mining.
4. Overall, it should present another bottom-fishing opportunity similar to '94. After all, the Democratic Party and Harris's major backer BlackRock still want to expand Bitcoin ETFs and tokenization.
The bull market has not ended; it has only reached a temporary peak and experienced a phase of selling.
From the perspective of wave theory, the rise of Ethereum since the beginning of April this year is likely a five-wave driven wave structure, and we are currently only in the third wave of the upward trend, entering the fourth wave correction phase. After the fourth wave completes its correction, there should still be a fifth wave of upward movement.
BTC and ETH Market Analysis on August 19: Today's Highlights:
BTC is below the healthy range on the 1-hour and 4-hour levels, while the daily level has returned to the healthy range. The expectation for today is to maintain consolidation, with support at 114000-115000 and resistance at 117000-118000.
ETH has returned to the healthy range on the 1-hour and 4-hour levels, and the daily level is above the healthy range. The expectation for today is to maintain consolidation, with support at 4150-4250 and resistance at 4350-4450.
Whether this week can close in the green is very important for the subsequent trend of Bitcoin. If it closes in the green, then the future Bitcoin cloud chart is likely to turn upwards and continue to rally; otherwise, it will face significant retracement risks.
1) The low point of this short-term decline is around 114,600, which is roughly the same as the expected 113,500; 2) Bulls are counterattacking, but the bullish momentum is relatively weak. It is estimated that the rebound will reach the 0.618 position, around 120,700 or 122,400. From the perspective of weak bullish momentum, it is predicted that the price will most likely rebound to around 120,700 and then stall; 3) Once the rebound is in place, BTC will start a significant drop, and breaking below 100,000 is possible, so be prepared.
It is almost impossible to wash out retail investors. As long as retail investors are still watching the market, the main force has ways to wash them out. If retail investors are not cleared out to a certain extent, it will affect the main force's trading plan, which is not allowed by the main force. The main force has many tricks to clear out retail investors, and there are three tricks that are particularly uncomfortable for retail investors. Usually, under these three tricks, very few retail investors can sit still.
🟨 "Grinding", the main force often uses the trick of "grinding" to bottom out, dragging the time very long, and the coin price just won’t rise. It goes up 1U, down 2U, and retail investors with poor patience will be "ground" out by the main force.
🟨 "Pitting", after the "grinding", there are still many retail investors who have not been washed out, the main force will dig pits to continue clearing retail investors. The main force digs "pits" which will create a rapid volume drop in the coin price, causing a feeling of breaking down without seeing the bottom. This instills fear in retail investors, who do not know how long the coin price will continue to fall or how deep it will go. Many retail investors have been pitted by the main force, never having the chance to climb out again.
🟨 "Coercion and Inducement". After experiencing the above two tricks, if the washing has not reached the main force's ideal value, the main force will use the trick of "coercion and inducement" to wash again. The so-called "coercion and inducement" means that the main force raises the price for trial trading, allowing retail investors to see a chance to recover their costs or make a small profit, prompting them to take profits. For those who do not take profits, the main force will control the coin price to naturally fall back, forcing retail investors to exit.
Ethereum has experienced two consecutive days of increasing volume decline, and has broken below the short-term trend line, indicating that the major players have begun to distribute.
From a pessimistic perspective, the short-term upward trend has been damaged, and the short-term upward trend may slow down or has already ended.
From an optimistic perspective, Ethereum has not yet broken below the short-term support level, so there is still some hope for continuing to rise and break through the historical highs.
A common mistake for beginners is to get fully invested and then get hit, only to quickly run away as soon as they break even:
1. Every time Bitcoin pulls back, it's a good opportunity to assess the strength of altcoins. Although some altcoins are weak, there are still many that outperform Bitcoin or move in sync with it during this round; 2. Referencing the first point, a cutting strategy can be used.
If the market goes down to explore further, I will buy back all my positions. If there isn't a significant drop, I will gradually look for the bottoms in smaller ranges to buy.
When fully invested, I call this averaging down, and after reopening, I call this gradually buying the dip.
Bull Market Dive? U.S. Refuses to Buy Bitcoin! Bitcoin and Ethereum Plummet Instantly! Ethereum's Surge Rhythm Disrupted! Who Will Save the Market?
Last night, the U.S. Strategic Reserve announced it would not buy Bitcoin, and recent short-term bearish factors have interrupted the overall upward momentum. Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to plummet! A sharp drop happened last night, and in the last 24 hours, a total of 107,410 people globally were liquidated, with a total liquidation amount of $382 million.
BTC
Bitcoin's performance yesterday was weak, breaking below the previous day's low, but the drop and trading volume were both small, and the price quickly rebounded after breaking the low, indicating that the bears have not sustained pressure. Short-term selling power has weakened, and a technical rebound may occur over the weekend. However, currently, there are no clear bottom signals on the 4-hour and daily levels. The price is still within a downward channel and has broken below the recent consolidation structure, forming lower lows. If BTC can pull back to the 'shark pattern' D point (around $114,196), it will be a noteworthy left-side trading opportunity.
August 16 BTC, ETH Market Analysis: Today's Highlights: BTC 1-hour and 4-hour levels have returned to a healthy range, daily level has returned to a healthy range, intraday expectation remains in consolidation, with intraday support at 116000-117000 and resistance at 119000-120000. ETH 1-hour and 4-hour levels have returned to a healthy range, daily level is above the healthy range, intraday expectation remains in consolidation, with intraday support at 4350-4400 and resistance at 4600-4700.
The Air Force's short position near 4160 is set to gradually reduce its holdings. If you want to exit without any losses, it’s a bit difficult. If it rises again next week, you really won’t be able to get out. After encountering resistance near 4800 and pulling back a bit, it will surely break through 4800 and approach 5000.
Similarly, if BTC rises again, it will go directly to 127000-130000.
In the larger trend, BTC's high point is still far from being reached, so ETH and SOL have not yet peaked. The weekly and monthly lines of these two major assets remain strong as morning wood. Mistaking short adjustments for a bull run means it’s better not to miss out than to miss out.
2 billion DOGE bought by whales! Spot funds remain hesitant - Is Dogecoin about to surge or is it a trap?
Will whale investors and spot investors push DOGE up?
Key Points
Whales have siphoned off 2 billion Dogecoins from the market, while the buying pressure from spot investors is minimal. The liquidity clusters on the chart indicate a possibility of bidirectional volatility for the asset. Dogecoin [DOGE] is partially decoupled from Bitcoin [BTC] and Binance Coin [BNB], both of which set new all-time highs - indicating a lower likelihood of a DOGE rebound in the short term. As of the time of publication, DOGE has fallen 3% in the past 24 hours, while other top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap continue to rise.
Bull markets often see sharp declines Mainly due to market manipulators taking advantage of negative news to harvest high leverage The viewpoint remains the same as before Don't rush to withdraw all spot positions As long as there is a pullback in contracts, gradually buy the dips to go long Firmly optimistic about the final wave of rebound before the end of September Ethereum will at least touch a new high around 5000 Currently, the market may still fluctuate for a while When facing pullbacks, seize the opportunity to boldly buy in batches
Recently, there shouldn't have been any discussions about Bitcoin's monthly line. Each bull market's monthly line peaks at three tops before ending. This bull market is also at three peaks, and the height of each round is at the red line on the chart. If it’s at this height, there might be about 2-3 months of movement left, with the upward trend lasting around 6 weeks. After that, Bitcoin may likely undergo high-level consolidation and distribution.
ETH Bulls Take Control — 4 Key Factors Behind the Surge in Ethereum Prices
Ethereum spot ETFs saw record inflows of $729 million on Wednesday, with total assets exceeding $29.7 billion.
Decentralized exchange trading volume reached $6.15 billion in 24 hours, solidifying Ethereum's lead over competing chains.
The trading price of Ethereum on Thursday was $4,702, slightly below its all-time high of $4,865. Driven by accelerated institutional inflows, rising demand for government bonds, and increased activity on decentralized exchanges, the price of Ethereum has risen over 240% since the low in April.
Spot ETH ETFs and corporate purchases drive the price increase.
SOL The four-hour trend from July 14 to today has had almost 6 trades. There's no need to be greedy; even if we only profit from 3 trades, as long as we accumulate gains over the long term, it will be very considerable for SOL.
220,000 people liquidated! Bitcoin and Ethereum crashed after hitting new highs! Revealing the true reason for the plunge! How long will the decline continue? Is there a chance to buy at the bottom? Altcoins collectively crashed! Will they go to zero or reach new highs?
Affected by the bearish PPI, Bitcoin's price dropped from $124,500 by more than $7,000, reaching a low of $117,180. Currently, it is in a rebound after being oversold, while Ethereum fell more than $200 from $4788, reaching a low of $4451. Currently, ETH is fluctuating around $4600. In the last 24 hours, a total of 221,517 people were liquidated globally, with a total liquidation amount of $1.018 billion.
Reason for last night's crash 1. The PPI data exceeded expectations, leading to a reduced probability of interest rate cuts in September. 2. The number of unemployment claims in the US for the week was lower than expected, leaning towards bearish. 3. US stocks opened lower, causing the crypto market to decline as well. 4. The net outflow of US spot ETFs was $293 million, ending six consecutive days of net inflow.
