BTCUSD Daily cautiously bearish. Recommended ratio: 35% BTC, 65% Cash.
*This bearish week was marked by degrading economic data from China, Germany and the USA, stoking global recession fears once again. China is currently seeing a weaker consumer (due to still ongoing effects of the Covid lockdowns), heat waves affecting factories, a weakening property sector (in need of infrastructural support) and slower export growth as a result of the massive global supply chain restructuring currently taking place. Germany is still reeling from sanctions and interruptions regarding the Nord Stream Pipeline as they prepare for a energy shortage this winter while the Rhine River is reportedly seeing a drought that has affected their ability to load barges to full capacity, adding to the economic growth woes they are likely to face for the remainder of the year. Meanwhile, the USA remains committed to tightening further and raising central bank interest rates beyond neutral as the US Housing and Credit market begins to show signs of weakness; this has led to a drop in the forecast for Q3 GDP. Though bearish at the moment, the uptrend in Bitcoin remains supported as long as it stays above $20k psychological support (also the uptrend line from 06/18/22). Key Upcoming Dates: S&P US August PMI at 945am EST 08/23; US Q2 Final GDP Estimate at 830am EST 08/25; US July PCE at 830am EST 08/26; UofM Final August Sentiment Survey Index at 10am EST 08/26; Jackson Hole Economic Symposium on 08/25-08/27.*
Price is currently testing the 50 MA as support at ~$22k after being rejected by $24181 minor resistance for the third time since 07/20/22. Volume remains Moderate and is on track to favor sellers for six consecutive days if it can close today's session in the red. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $25.2k, this margin is neutral at the moment. RSI has broken below 3 supports in one fall and is currently trending down at 36 with no signs of trough formation as it still technically tests 42.41 support. Stochastic is currently testing max bottom and is beginning to form a soft trough. MACD is on day two of being bearish and is currently testing 313 support. ADX is currently trending down slightly at 20 as Price falls, this is neutral at the moment.
If Price is able to bounce off of the 50 MA at ~$22k as support then the next likely target is a retest of $24181 minor resistance. However, if Price continues to break down here, it will likely retest the uptrend line from 06/18/22 as support at ~$20k psychological support. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) the 50 MA (~$22k).
