Bitcoin Technical Outlook
Bitcoin printed a triple-bottom TBT Bearish Divergence mid-week, echoing bearish patterns from 2022, with RSI bouncing off long-term support yet registering a lower low. Although a short-term bounce has lifted price off the lows, RSI is poised to form a lower high, increasing the likelihood of a drop below the daily TBO Cloud and deeper losses before month-end.
The first significant support sits at $73,309 as part of Bitcoin’s stair-step structure. A breach of this level would likely trigger a steeper pullback and reinforce bearish momentum into subsequent support zones.
Ethereum and Stablecoin Dominance Dynamics
Ethereum slipped beneath its daily TBO Fast line for the first time since April 2, while daily RSI fell below long-term support. On-balance volume also broke below its moving average, signaling waning accumulation and heightened risk of further declines for ETH.
In contrast, stablecoin dominance confirmed a TBT Bullish Divergence this week, suggesting continued inflows into stablecoins. Historically, this rotation precedes further downside for both Bitcoin and broader altcoin markets.
Market Cap Dominance: BTC.D, OTHERS.D and TOTALS
Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D) posted a higher local high even as RSI recorded a lower high, indicating a looming attempt to break above the 61% threshold. Other Cryptos Dominance (OTHERS.D) remains entrenched below the daily TBO Cloud, reinforcing a bearish outlook for altcoins.
The Total Market Cap chart (TOTALES) also formed a TBT Bearish Divergence and bounced off long-term RSI support, underscoring broader market weakness. The TOTAL3ESBTC ratio has reached new local lows, pointing to continued altcoin underperformance versus Bitcoin.
TradFi Influences and Macro Environment
The dollar index (DXY) declined sharply, while USD/JPY plunged over 3% amid intervention fears after Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama signaled decisive action. USD/JPY printed a TBO Close Long signal on Thursday, yet market consensus expects government support to stabilize the yen. A sharp drop in USD/JPY could exacerbate headwinds across global markets, including crypto.
S&P 500 futures reached fresh highs with RSI diverging lower. The Dow closed at key resistance on a 1.62% gain without entering overbought territory. FANG stocks finished in a bearish doji, NVIDIA tumbled 4.6% leaving unfilled gaps, and the VIX plunged over 10%, highlighting elevated risk appetite.
Commodity Markets: Oil and Gold Analysis
WTI crude oil rallied to close above $110, filling a prior gap. A retracement to the TBO Fast line is anticipated, where a short position remains active. Gold tested the TBO Slow line this week and appears set to rebound above the Cloud, particularly if USD/JPY volatility drives Japanese hedging into bullion.
Altcoin Sector Review
Altcoins present a mixed picture. DOGE trades at the upper boundary of its daily TBO Cloud, while HYPE dropped to first support and is likely to break lower. WLFI and TAO have broken key supports, and NEAR’s breakdown offers a bearish short setup. MORPHO battles TBO resistance, and RENDER nearly tested its final support fan before an expected rally to the TBO Fast line and subsequent decline.
ATOM fell 8% to the TBO Fast line with limited rebound prospects, and APT’s recent TBO Open Long follows prior failures. MON rallied 7.5%, targeting its Fast line to close a recent TBO Close Long. VVV prints a Springboard Bounce, ZBCN approaches a fourth TBT Bearish Divergence cluster, and Binance Life stalled within its Cloud ahead of a likely test of 0.42. H is rising on short squeezes amid declining volume and RSI, underscoring persistent market stress.
