Today BTC starts the day at the lower end of its range that it has formed over the weekend, forcing MACD and other momentum indicators on shorter timeframes slightly into the oversold area.
BTC's short liquidations soared over the past few days, more so than previous pumps to the upside.
Ethereum Price Prediction
Ethereum swings strongly to the downside this morning as it breaks past multiple levels of prior support, find a strong price rejection at the previous swing high's support level @ $1,520.
ETH's RSI on longer timeframes (1D, 1W) are far into the overbought area, however shorter timeframes are seeing the most recent 5% swing down factored into its downwards movement.
Short liquidations are not nearly having prevalent in ETH, as there is not as much upside compared to BTC.
Expecting market to be very flat up until or around the Q4 2022 GDP announcement, before it becomes more volatile again. Recommended to stay clear coming into the end of the week, or trade with the expectation that markets will become more volatile soon.
