  • BTC's Open Interest came down substantially over the past 24 hours, although Funding Rates remained positive.
  • We can see that yesterday's price pullback was driven by Spot selling as Iran began bombing Israel.
  • This wasn't a leverage flush out; it was more the case that investors de-risked on geopolitical fears.

Technical analysis

  • Having rallied throughout almost all of September, the price began to pull back during Monday's session.
  • Price pulled back from $66k, and came down to retest the local uptrend line and also the horizontal level of $63,400. But, price broke down and has pulled back to the local Yellow box we identified in Monday's Market Update.
  • This pullback has seen the RSI drawdown more drastically, which is good to see, especially when you've had a clean uptrend.
  • We now see the next major support area between $58k and $59k, and we would expect this area to be the more major support.
  • On the upside, we see $63,400 as the new local resistance, which will require a price reclaim.

Cryptonary's take

Our thinking is that this pullback was necessary and needed. Price rallied throughout September, essentially in a clear uptrend. These can't go on forever, and you expect pullbacks to come, which we're now getting. Over the coming days, we see the price as likely to be range-bound between $59k and $63,400. We think it's possible that the price does dip into the $58k to $59k area, but even the current price seems attractive when you look at the macro setup we have going into the next 1-2 quarters.

Over the coming days and week or two, we're expecting the price to remain subdued, to potentially retest the $59k area, and then to bounce from there and retest $63,400.

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.
