We bet your blood is boiling from all the mind-numbing boredom, right? Time seems to be crawling by while the market refuses to give your mighty crypto wallet the excitement it craves. However, here’s the thing… This part is inevitable. There will be times when the market decides to take a chill pill and barely move or consolidate. That’s when you need to shift your focus to finding the most giga-brain move on your board. Lucky for you, we happen to be the chess masters of crypto, and we’re here to guide you in the right direction. Let’s dive into it!

TLDR 📃

  • Bitcoin closed bearish last week. Expect more downside to $25,150!
  • A “Hanging Man” candlestick was printed on ETH’s weekly timeframe. The chances of testing $2,000 just got slimmer.
  • Our star performer is… well, performing! (we told you 😉)
  • At this time, the risk outweighs the reward when trading most of our picks. We recommend waiting until clear bottoms are formed.

Buckle up, ETH might not be going to $2,000 after all…

LDO | Lido DAO

Our star performer is headed for the sky…

mobilehide aligncenter wp-image-274481 size-fullmobileshow aligncenter wp-image-274507 size-full Just three weeks ago, LDO flipped $1.85 back into support, and guess what - it’s up by 20% since then.

BTC? Down 0.25% in the last three weeks. We can’t argue with math, right?

LDO is outperforming the market, and we have a feeling that’s not going to stop anytime soon. Right now, the asset is headed for $3.10. Of course, things will go south if LDO loses $1.85 as support.

Cryptonary’s take 🧠

As downside looms large, our best advice for you is to wait for the opportunities to show themselves. Be patient, keep your eyes peeled, and protect that precious capital of yours in the meantime. There’s no point in trading or investing in a dangerous playground - you do that only when directions become clearer.

Action points 🎯

  1. More downside is coming, so avoid getting too deep into the buys unless a complete invalidation happens (which we see as unlikely).
  2. The time to buy comes when BTC tests support at $25,150. In the meantime, your best play is to wait.
  3. Got questions? Hit us up on Discord in the “📉・technical-analysis” channel.
  4. We are always happy to help you get to the right decision for you.
