Bitcoin nears $100k pivot amid shifting TBO signals teaser image

Bitcoin Technical Outlook

Bitcoin’s daily TBO Resistance unexpectedly advanced to $97,193, marking a second higher high since the June 6 pivot from $125k to $94k. Such shifts require major price moves, signaling sustained bullish momentum toward the $100k region. On the 4-hour chart, valid TBO Breakouts suggest further explosive upside, and Bitcoin is poised to tag the weekly TBO Fast line, likely driving prices above $101k in the coming days.

However, the 2022 bottom-year blueprint warns of a convincing bull trap: Bitcoin may linger near the daily TBO Cloud top with RSI peaking above 80 before reversing. The 1.272 Fibonacci Extension at $103,616 aligns with this potential pivot high, after which a deeper decline—possibly toward $35k later this year—could unfold.

Ethereum Update

Ethereum also saw its daily TBO Resistance shift higher and printed a solitary TBO Breakout on the 4-hour chart. While ETH could test marginally above the daily TBO Cloud, significant overhead resistance is expected to cap gains. A short-term target around $3,435 remains in focus, with traders watching the cloud boundaries for early reversal signals.

Market Dominance and Altcoin Implications

Combined stablecoin dominance recently established a new TBO Support level, suggesting a downtrend toward approximately 7.50%. A drop here should relieve altcoin selling pressure—provided Bitcoin dominance, currently overbought on daily RSI, also corrects. Historical reversals in BTC.D have swiftly ignited alt rallies.

ETH.D sits in bullish consolidation within its daily cloud, SOL.D maintains an open long signal, and OTHERS.D, though below its cloud with RSI at 31.76, is primed for recovery when dominance metrics align. Total crypto market cap ex-stablecoins continues bullish consolidation, with its daily TBO Resistance making a higher high and a valid 4-hour breakout in place.

TradFi and Commodities

The U.S. Dollar Index reclaimed the daily TBO Cloud in strong bullish mode and is forming a TBO Open Long, yet daily RSI printed a lower high, indicating a probable near-term pullback from resistance at 100.261. The S&P 500 remains bullish on the daily but shows a third weekly TBT Bearish Divergence Cluster—a historically potent signal for impending pullbacks. Although the Nasdaq and Dow Jones lack this cluster, any S&P weakness typically ripples across major indices.

In commodities, Gold’s springboard bounce from $4,300 paused near $4,600 as RSI wanes. Silver enters its final parabola phase, targeting the 1.618 Fibonacci Extension before a reversal. Platinum’s parabola peaked in December, and Copper exhibits bearish divergence between price highs and RSI, warranting caution.

Altcoin Highlights

XRP retraced to its daily TBO Fast line at $2.07 for a springboard bounce inside the cloud, though downside risk remains while below the cloud. BNB’s bullish momentum could drive it to the 1.272 Fibonacci Extension at $992 and potentially to $1,113 if Bitcoin pushes toward $103k. SOL retains strong momentum despite minor RSI divergence, and TRX has advanced above both its resistance fan and daily cloud.

XMR’s 4-hour TBT Bearish Divergence Cluster may temper its near-term gains. LTC unexpectedly broke below TBO Support, leaving RSI oversold and setting up a reset. ICP remains above its cloud with rising volume, eyeing historical resistance near $6.00. MORPHO’s lowered TBO Resistance marks a fresh pivot high, suggesting another leg up. DASH nears the 0.5 Fibonacci level at 92. On the risk barometer, FARTCOIN holds above its fast line and 0.236 retracement, CHZ targets 0.07333, and RIVER stays bullish. GLM’s sell-off bounced off its fast line, aiming at $0.32. ZEN’s volatility may whip between its fast line and cloud, and SDEX’s TBT divergence advises caution.
