Consensio: P < S MA < M MA < L MA = fully bearish (current candle is testing S MA)

Patterns: Phase 7 hyperwave | Bear channel
Horizontals: $3,478 provided the preliminary support on November 25 and the last few days have been threatening to turn it into resistance
Trendline: Channel
Parabolic SAR: Differs significantly based on exchange. Bistamp at $3,500 is most important to me.
Futures Curve: Backwardation with 2.5% spread
BTCUSDSHORTS: Pumping right through a G9
Funding Rates: Longs receive 0.0351%
TD’ Sequential: R6
Ichimoku Cloud: Look at how well the Tenkan-Sen is acting as resistance. Beautiful!
Relative Strength Index: Testing trend resistance
Average Directional Index: Crossed 20 indicating bear trend. Watch for confirmation with a cross above 25.
Price Action: 24h: +2.1% | 2w: -3.4% | 1m: -5.9%
Bollinger Bands: Resuming squeeze which indicates to me that the selloff on the 19th was a trap
Stochastic Oscillator: Daily buy signal. 3D still pulling back. Weekly posturing for buy.

Summary: The market is at a rather crucial spot and longs are starting to look very appealing. If we can close back above $3,500 then that would signal for me to start scaling in. On the other hand a close below the MA of my channel (~$3,325) would be very bearish.

The Bitcoin Market Cap dominance is very interesting to me right now as well. Since the summer of 2017 BTC has found strong resistance at 60% dominance and currently appears to be forming a descending triangle.

A breakdown from here would be likely to retest 40%. On the other hand if we could manage to return back above 60% then a return to 80% would be very likely. This is all right in line with the two options I am expecting from here.

My most likely outcome is one last dead cat bounce from here to fill the gap in the VRVP in the $5,200 - $5,800 area. If that happens market cap dominance will likely fall back to 40% while alts pump even harder. Then the rug gets pulled out from under and the market flies back to safety during capitulation.

My slightly less likely outcome is breaking down $3,000 from here and capitulating over the following weeks - months. I remain resolute that would be the quickest way to find a bottom. Flight to safety occurs during capitulation pushing BTC market dominance back to 80%+ and sending alts down the toilet where they belong.

Still too early to make a confident call either way. Time to remain on the sidelines and wait for more information.
