Prepare… the bears are coming! | May 1st

April was a stagnant month for the crypto market. We saw bulls and bears fighting for control. Both had ups and downs, but only one side can win the great battle. In this report, we dive into the charts to deduce who will come out on top during the last month of spring. SPOILER: Bears might win. 👀

TLDR 📜

  • The Total Market Cap index closed under resistance ($1.18T). A pullback remains likely.
  • May will likely bring downside to the market.
  • RUNE, DOT, SYN, HEGIC, THOR, and MINA all lost their support levels. Downside should be expected unless they can reclaim those levels.
  • Bitcoin closed April’s candle into resistance. We now need to flip $32,000 into support to confirm higher prices such as $40,000. Otherwise, downside is coming.

Cryptonary’s take 🧠

We have been expecting the market to form a local top inside the $28,750 - $32,000 region for more than a month now. You can check that yourself.

Believing you can milk every dollar from a rally is an illusion. Staying rational, even if things do not play out as expected, is the key to your profitable crypto journey. After all, it’s “buy low, sell high” - not the other way around. This is the time to take profits, not to increase your holdings.

Action points 🎯

  • Take profits, especially if you’ve made gains that can be described as “life-changing” from your perspective.
  • If BTC’s potential move to $25,150 is invalidated ($32,000 needs to be flipped into support), you should avoid going all-in at all costs.
