Key Takeaways

  • Bitcoin holds at the $26.8k support level after a session with no major action in the market.

  • The direction is clear, however, the market needs momentum for the move up.

  • The macro environment is improving as the cross-asset framework suggests liquidity should start flowing into the system and bitcoin catch up to the hot Tech.

  • BTC has held the $26.8k support level yet could not break over $27.5k. A break and hold of the $27.5k are needed for higher prices, with an uptick in spot demand to fuel the move.

  • It's been a calm session of consolidation (as we expected). The structure is ripe for the move-up; momentum is the missing part of the equation - no clear sign of momentum in the spot market.

  • The perpetual market shows a similar picture: a quiet session with muted/flat volume. Keep an eye on the consolidating price action and increasing open interest… a move is coming.

  • On the bright side, signs of bullish direction are emerging, as seen by the decreasing short positions on Bitfinex. However, we still lack a material increase in long positions to get the ball rolling.
