RIOTLooks like a nice buying op soon off the 618% retracement level after 5 up have been completed. If my count is correct the 618% should hold as support for the HTF B wave and lead us right into wave C. Not sure if wave C goes all the way to $13.50 or ends up being truncated. But upside looks pretty juicy for a short term trade.

Litecoin SlumpsLitecoin has been continuously bound by $58. We have broken through $55.84, albeit barely. Currently we are testing support here. The price action is rounding off, suggesting weakness. If we break currently levels, we should see further support in the low $50's. If we are somehow able to rally, then $61.75 is the next target.
Ethereum Runs into Stiff ResistanceEthereum has rallied into stiff resistance from a dense cluster of levels starting at $1653. We have since retraced slightly, finding support again at $1653. Resistance should continue through the $1700's, but if we can break through, then our next target is $1821. If we continue to retrace, then our next target is $1547. We should not see much action in the markets until the Fed's Powell speaks at 10AM EST.
Bitcoin Edges HigherBitcoin is edging up, but is still bounded by $22K or so. We have a strong level at $22.4K, but we can't even muster the strength to test this. We did see strong support around $20K, so it does not seem like BTC is weak enough to test the $18K's or $19K's and establish the range we held when we tested lows. However, the Kovach OBV is still bearish, so we have a slight bear divergence. We are likely not to see any momentum until Fed's Powell speaks at Jackson Hole at 10AM EST. If he sounds dovish, we could see a rally to $22.4K or the next level at $23.9K. Otherwise, expect continued support in the $20K's.

According to The Block, as of August 24, the NFT marketplace volume for the month was $369.53 million, compared with $675.43 million in July — a roughly 46% decline. Bitcoin price is almost flat over the past 24 hours. The largest cryptocurrency has been trading in a tight range between $20,800 and $21,500 since 19 Aug, indicating the demand dries up at higher levels. For now, the bulls need to push the Bitcoin price above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) ($22,408) to establish a relief rally. If the bulls could not hold the current level, Bitcoin could find support at around $20,000.

Ethereum Foundation Confirms the Merger Date
The Ethereum Foundation confirmed the timing of the mainnet merger in a blog post. The Merge is a two-step process. The first step is a network upgrade, Bellatrix, on the consensus layer triggered by an epoch height. This is followed by the execution layer's transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, Paris, triggered by a specific Total Difficulty threshold called the Terminal Total Difficulty (TTD). The Bellatrix upgrade is scheduled for epoch 144896 on the Beacon Chain -- 11:34:47am UTC on Sept 6, 2022. Paris, the execution layer's portion of the transition, will be triggered by the Terminal Total Difficulty (TTD) of 58750000000000000000000, expected between Sept 10-20, 2022. The exact date at which TTD is reached depends on proof-of-work hash rate.

Litecoin Facing ResistanceLitecoin has found support in the low $50's and pivoted back up past $55.84. We are currently finding great support here, but facing resistance immediately above at about $58 or so. If we can break out then $61.75 is the next target. If we reject current levels then $51.92 and $50.64 should provide support.
Can Ethereum Break Through Resistance?Ethereum found support at $1547, as we anticipated. We saw a lot of green triangles from the KRI on this level, confirming support. Subsequently, we pivoted back to the $1600's where we first saw resistance from $1653. There is a cluster of levels above that should provide resistance, and we are currently in the thicket of them. These start at $1694 and end at $1748. After that, there is a vacuum zone to $1821 which remains a target if we can break through. If we reject these levels then $1653 and $1547 should provide further support.
Bull Wedge in BitcoinBitcoin is edging up forming a bull wedge pattern with an upper bound of $21.7K. We are seeing lots of red triangles on the KRI to confirm resistance, but if we can break through the next target is $22.4K. The Kovach OBV is pretty flaccid if not slightly bearish, so there is a slight bear divergence. We should have support at $20.7K, but if not there is a vacuum zone down to $18.6K, a previous value area.

Nvidia's Second-Quarter Net Profit and Game Revenue Fell 72% and 33%
Nvidia’s second-quarter gaming revenue was $2.04 billion, down 33% year-over-year and a 44% decline from the first quarter. In addition to the macro environment, Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said "As noted last quarter, we had expected cryptocurrency mining to make a diminishing contribution to gaming demand; we are unable to accurately quantify the extent to which reduced crypto mining contributed to the decline in gaming demand." Furthermore, Nvidia’s total revenue in the second quarter was $6.7 billion, up 3% year-on-year, and net profit was $656 million, down 72% year-over-year.

Litecoin Faces ResistanceLitecoin appeared to making an attempt to regain the $60's, but has fallen short around $58, just above our level at $55.84. We are seeing strong resistance confirmed by red triangles on the KRI, but if we can break through then $61.75 should be the next target. If $55.84 does not hold, then we should see support from the low $50's at $51.92 and $50.64 in particular.
Ethereum Inches HigherEthereum has found support, bouncing off our level at $1547. We saw mounting support from green triangles on the KRI, but the $1600's are proving tough to break through. Our level at $1653 seems to be a barrier for now. Recall that this is the beginning of a cluster of levels which extend through the mid $1700's. We will need some strong buying momentum to break through these, but if some comes through, we could retest the $1800's. Otherwise, expect continued support at $1547, with $1424 a likely floor price.
Litecoin Makes a Run for the Mid $50'sLitecoin found support in the low $50's and subsequently pivoted, making a concerted attempt at higher levels. Currently, we are contending with $55.84, seeing strong resistance from multiple red triangles on the KRI. If we can break past this, then the next target is $61.75, if we can cross the vacuum zone above. If not, then we should see further support in the low $50's again.
Can Ethereum Hold the $1500's?Ethereum has held its ground, finding support at $1547, as anticipated. Support is confirmed by multiple green triangles on the KRI. The Kovach OBV is still quite bearish, but does appear to be attempting to level off as the bleeding eases. A strong US dollar and hawkish Fed outlook should continue to weigh on crypto, but if the $1500's can hold, then $1653 is the next target. After that we will face further resistance from that cluster of levels in the $1700's. If support breaks then $1424, and $1341 should provide further support.
Bitcoin Clings to the $20K'sBitcoin has found support at $20.7K, confirmed by multiple green triangles on the KRI, despite an increase in the strength of the US dollar. The Kovach OBV is still bearish however, and if support caves, we will return to the value area between $18.6K and $20.7K. If we are able to pivot then the next target is $23.9K. But we are seeing strong resistance in between $20.1K and $23.9K, at around $21.6K, which must be broken before considering higher levels.
