  • BTC's Funding Rate is at 0.01%, indicating that there is a small bias amongst traders to be Long.
  • Open Interest is at Daily highs, so this is something to be mindful of as we move forward.
  • Overall, from a mechanics perspective, the market looks relatively ok here.

Technical analysis

  • Late Sunday evening (never fully trust a late Sunday night pamp into the Weekly candle close), the price pushed beyond our $68,900 horizontal resistance but ultimately rejected from that level.
  • The price has now pulled back very slightly, but the positive is that the RSI has pulled back from being overbought, is now at the 60 level, and is resting on top of the RSI Moving Average.
  • To the upside, $68,900 remains the key level for the price to comfortably close above.
  • To the downside, there is local support at $66,000 and more major horizontal support at $63,400.

  • Direction: Bearish/Neutral
  • Upside Target: $68,900
  • Downside Target: $66,000

Cryptonary's take

BTC has moved higher than we thought it might do a week or two ago, as we expected the market to be relatively contained/subdued the closer we move to the US elections.

However, the price has performed well, and Trump's odds of winning have improved in the betting market. Now, with approximately two weeks until the election, it's possible that price does pull back a tad here, potentially retesting $66,000.

If there are any major pull backs between now and the election, we would solely see them as buying opportunities.

For now, we remain in BTC Spot positions, of course, and we'd be buying anything between $63,400 and $66,000 (pre-election).

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
