BULL MARKET BYTES

Your byte of cryptocurrency insight where Bitcoin continues to hold like the Spartans did in 300 at the Battle of Thermopylae.

BITCOIN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Thankfully, Bitcoin finally gave us somewhat of a pullback that we have been searching for . . . but did it dip low enough?

As Bitcoin sits at $118,177.48, the question on everyone’s mind is “when will Bitcoin break a new all-time high?”

The question on our mind . . . when will the momentum switch from all of the attention on Bitcoin to all of the attention on alternative coins?

At the moment, Coinmarketcap.com rates the pendulum of Bitcoin and altcoins slightly in the favor of Bitcoin at 44 out of 100 (1 being the highest for Bitcoin).

It may sound low, but this is almost triple of what we saw on 21 June when the rating was only 15 out of 100 - in favor of Bitcoin.

Once balance is brought back and more focus is on altcoins, we project that the overall crypto market cap will reach $7 trillion!

Let’s go ahead and dive into Bitcoin’s daily movement and cover more into altcoin season, but before we do a word from today’s sponsor!

Even with Bitcoin’s pullback of ~$6,000 since Wednesday’s newsletter, Bitcoin holds at +10.11% in July.

It is easy to believe that we will finish July around +8% to +15% with high focus going into next month.

Don’t worry, we will cover August when the time comes . . . but in the meantime, what are we watching until the end of this month?

Let’s take a look below and see if our resident AI, Byte, has any words of encouragement for us!

🤖 Byte the Bot: “Bitcoin’s dip in price on Friday filled ~70% of the area marked as the “gap to be filled.”

Caution! Bitcoin’s current candlestick is being held down by a resistance line at $118,386.74.”

Thank you, Byte! He covered two imperative points of Bitcoin’s current movement:

  • Bitcoin filled a partial of the area marked “gap to be filled”

  • Price is being held down by resistance at $118,386.74

Another that must be mentioned, even with the dip down in price Bitcoin still holds the bull flag formation!

Yes, the price did dip below $115,620.04 but there was no “price confirmation” as Bitcoin exploded upwards after breaking below support.

As long as Bitcoin holds between $115,620.04 and $122,052.10, we will maintain the bull flag formation (marked by the purple rectangle above).

Let’s dive into the specifics, along with talking more about altseason! Follow us to the magical land of “What to Anticipate” below!

WHAT TO ANTICIPATE

As covered in Saturday’s newsletter:

At some point, Bitcoin will need to decide if $118,386.74 is going to be viewed as resistance or support?

The back and forth is fine at the moment, but if Bitcoin can push above and hold - that would concrete a new all-time high!

The 26th of July should hold more of an answer for us as this date marks support and resistance conversing.

The 25th of July showed us Bitcoin being held down by $118,386.74 and marking it as resistance - within 24 hours of our prediction!

Let’s talk about “altseason!” As Bitcoin’s price moves higher, investors will take profits and start investing into cryptos with lower market caps.

By doing so, Bitcoin does not necessarily need to crash in price but less volume (compared to now) will flow into Bitcoin and more focus will be on altcoins.

Remember! ETF final decisions by the SEC for XRP, Litecoin, Solana, etc. are set to take place in early October of this year! That could trigger the “altseason!”

More to come on altseason in future newsletters . . .

📊 Which formations are on our radar? Bitcoin continues to hold the bull flag formation! In essence, we have recieved the “best of both worlds.”

  • Bitcoin pulled back down in price to fill the “gap to be filled.”

  • Bitcoin held the bull flag formation while doing so.

This does not necessarily mean that Bitcoin won’t dip lower in price, but we anticipated Bitcoin’s dip in price and our prayers were answered!

On Wednesday, we cover the bullish cup and handle formation (at <20% chance of occurring), but this is no longer on our radar.

🌍 In a perfect world, what do we see? Bitcoin holding between $115,620.04 and $122,052.10 would allow for a healthy consolidation.

We are NOT seeking Bitcoin’s next all-time high! Not right now, at least. We want to see consolidation to allow for an actual spike in price.

If Bitcoin consolidates for 2-3 weeks and then spikes upwards, the momentum could carry us to September . . . just in time for altseason in October!

🧠 Our overall thoughts? We have mentioned time and again that there is rocket fuel remaining for Bitcoin’s “moon in price!”

Even though Bitcoin is very volatile, along with other cryptos, it is a long-term “game” and must be viewed as such.

Yes, it will be bumpy along the way but as with a rollercoaster that is part of the ride!

Until our next newsletter of Wednesday, watch if Bitcoin holds between $115,620.04 and $122,052.10.

If it falls below, watch for $111,871.67 to hold and if it goes above, see if $122,052.10 will turn into a new support line or if it immediately crashes below!

BULL MARKET BULLETIN 📌

Another “Satoshi-Era” Bitcoin Wallet Dumps Their Holdings Satoshi wallets (those that accumulated Bitcoin between 2009-2011), are having impact on Bitcoin’s price as the ROI is massive from the time they bought! The lastest report, this Bitcoin investors cashed out 80,000 Bitcoin for $9 billion! Bitcoin took a little bit of a hit, we hope Satoshi (who holds 1 million Bitcoin valued at $118 billion) never sells . . .

Billionaire Robert Kiyosaki Warns Against Crypto ETFs There is much hype around the cryptocurrency ETFs that are potentially launching this year, but author of Rich Dad Poor Dad has other thoughts. To the average investor, he recommends ETFs for gold, silver, and Bitcoin but notes that an ETF “is like having a picture of a gun for personal defense.” Will ETFs be the next “flex” in crypto or just a fad?
