In our BTC vs SLV analog piece we identified remarkable similarities within the charts. Trying to figure out the time frame of the consolidation area is key. In SLV, the timing of that consolidation period was over 3 months, however, the 500% rally also took 2.5 years. In BTC, the 500% rally only took ~9 months. With this scaling in mind, the consolidation...

Good morning. Here at BitOoda, we have been BEARISH of BTC and remain of that opinion. $3,600 has been, what we feel, as the key ‘magnet’ level between the range of $3,200 and $4,000. There is a battle between the bulls and bears at this price, and we feel the BEARS could likely prevail. We will consider changing our view if and when there is CAPITULATION in...

Finally, we have been watching the ETH/BTC spread closely, and witness a price run up from .035 to just above .04 over the last few weeks. Fundamentally, we have expressed our view on this spread almost a month ago: After this weekends price action, this could be a decent entry point start accumulating a position

A week ago (1/3/19), I wrote a piece on RISK MANAGEMENT recommending purchasing a March Fence (aka a collar) for firms that are long ETH in their inventory. The trade was to buy the H $100 puts and sell the H $250 calls against it. When we sent out this report last week, the market for the fence was -8/8 (worth flat premium). Today, the market 0/16 (worth $8 -...

1/7/2019 Today, we revisit the chart from the morning report of Tuesday last week. We wrote that in the BTC market we are starting to see SUPPORT in a BEARISH market. Over the weekend, we watched this upward slopping SUPPORT line converge and penetrate through a short-term RESISTANCE level of $3,900, and gap $150 higher. We have been of the mindset to SELL...

Today I would like to focus on RISK MANAGEMENT. This is less of a “trade”, and more of a preservation of capital derivatives structure. It allows firms that are holding coin to minimize their downside risk, while potentially giving away some upside reward. With this recent run up in ETH, we believe it is prudent for commercial players to manage their risk for as...

Good morning and Happy New Year to all!!! We wish you all a successful and prosperous 2019. This morning we will start with the Bitcoin chart. We have updated what we are seeing as trendlines attempting to form SUPPORT in this BEARISH market. We saw a nice rally 2 weeks ago that eventually failed, however we think there could be a similar rally in the near...

PART 2 of BitOoda Morning Report 1/2/2019: The second chart of the day we will look at is ETH/BTC spread. Let us revisit our BitOoda Morning Report from 12/17/18: “Ethereum was in a bear market with other crypto-assets, it is in a more mature stage than Bitcoin. That made us look at a relative value trade of ETH/BTC pair. Coincidentally, the ratio made a 0.026...

In BULL markets resistance levels turns into support, and in BEAR markets support levels turns into resistance. Earlier last week in my BTC vs. SHORT commentary on 12/18 I had displayed on the chart that $3,600 had turned from support to resistance. We had been pounding the table all month saying $3,600 was a key level. What we saw was large buying volume on...

12/19/18 The short squeeze is on. The bulls have taken back the market, and are punishing the shorts that have been initiated over the last 2 weeks. Stops from leveraged accounts are being taken out! Today we are studying the ‘Fibonacci Retracement’ levels. We are picking the high from the large decline that started in mid-November ~$6,000 until the lows of...

On Friday last week (12/14) we put together a piece referencing the relationship between BTC price, and Net Shorts. Our conclusion was that when net shorts covered their BTC, they didn’t markedly cause a rally in the Spot price, which to us means that the weak length left in this market was overpowering any bid these shorts put into the market. Based off of...

(12/14) We finally broke the short-term support level of $3,300 yesterday afternoon and saw it bottom out at ~$3,200 later around 7PM EST. There has yet to be a compelling reason to want to get long in this ugly, bearish market. Usually, in an over-sold or over-extended market, you would see shorts covering to take profits, which would help create some support...
