13th January 2024: Weekly Crypto Trends
Bitcoin rallied into April 2022 resistance at 48000, but then reversed sharply to close below recent resistance at 45000. Ethereum, by contrast, rallied very sharply (having recently made new short term ratio lows against Bitcoin). It closed up 11.3%, testing medium term April 2022 resistance at 2750.
It was a volatile week in the Secondary coins, with most coins closing down on the week. Solana, Theta and Thorchain were the worst performers with falls of 8.2%, 9.1% and 12.7% respectively.
The trend scores of Secondary coins are now more mixed, with Solana and Thorchain in medium term uptrends, while The Sandbox, Decentraland, Polygon, Cosmos and BNB are all still in medium term downtrends.
Crypto related equities had a very poor week, with losses of over 20% in Marathon, Microstrategy and Riot. Coinbase fell 15%, breaking support at 150. Microstrategy remains in medium term uptrend and tests short term support at 478.
ETFS finally arrived but Crypto assets generally fell sharply as the news was already priced in to asset prices.
