After the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s July meeting suggested that rate hikes in cryptocurrencies would continue until inflation was under control, the S&P 500’s four-week-long recovery came to a stop last week. There is no evidence, according to Fed members, that inflation pressures are subsiding. There is expectation for cryptocurrencies Breakout and to have bull parameter
The announcement by James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Fed, that he would support a 75 basis point rate hike at the Fed policy meeting in September was another depressant. This diminished optimism that the era of abrupt rate increases would be coming to an end.
Sentiment deterioration caused the S&P 500 to fall 1.29% for the week. Bitcoin (BTC), which continues to have a strong association with the S&P 500 and experienced a dramatic decrease on August 19, expected to end the week with significant losses.
Will bulls take advantage of the dips to stock up at lower levels? If they do, let’s look at the charts of the top 5 cryptocurrencies to see if their bullish setups might entice buyers.
BTC/USDT
On August 17, Bitcoin fell behind the 20-day exponential moving average ($22,864), and on August 19, it fell beneath the 50-day simple moving average ($22,318). At the ascending channel’s support line, the bulls are seeking to stop the drop.
The 20-day EMA has begun to decline, and the relative strength index (RSI) is in the negative range, favouring bears. It will indicate that bears are selling on rallies if the price moves in the opposite direction of the moving averages.
This might make a break below the channel’s support line more likely. In that case, the vital support range between $18,626 and $17,622 attacked.
The bulls will need to drive and maintain the price above the moving averages in order to avoid this scenario. If they take that action, the BNB/USDT pair may rise toward the channel’s resistance line.
Although the buyers are resolutely protecting the channel’s support line, the downward-sloping moving averages and the RSI’s position in the negative zone indicate that higher levels are likely to prompt selling by the bears.
The probability of a break below the channel rises if the price moves lower from either the present level or the 20-EMA. If that occurs, the pair may decline toward $18,626 as the bearish momentum increases.
Breaking above the 20-EMA will be the first indication of strength. Such a change would suggest that there may be lessening selling pressure. This might increase the likelihood of a rally to the 50-SMA.
BNB/USDT
The bulls successfully held the firm support at $275 while Binance Coin (BNB) declined from the overhead barrier at $338. This shows that people are feeling well because the bulls are looking to buy on dips.
The 20-day EMA ($301) may present resistance to the recovery. The bears will once more attempt to drive the BNB/USDT pair below $275 if the price drops from this level. If it occurs, it indicates that the pair may swing for some time in a wide range between $183 and $338.
On the other hand, the pair may increase to $338 if bulls drive the price over the 20-day EMA. A bullish head and shoulders pattern completed with a break through and closure above this level. A rally from there might reach $413 before reaching the pattern target of $493.
The selling pressure may be lessening as the 4-hour chart’s 20-EMA has begun to turn upward and the RSI is close to its midway. The pair may move to the 50-SMA if the price maintains above the 20-EMA. Increasing the likelihood of a rally to $338 would require a break and closure above this resistance.
On the other hand, if the price declines and breaks below the 20-EMA, the pair may once more fall below the crucial support level of $275. The pair will form a bearish heads-and-shoulders pattern and decline toward $240 if this level is broken.
EOS/USDT
The bullish inverse head and shoulders scenario has created for EOS. On August 17, buyers drove the price above the overhead resistance at $1.46, but the day’s candlestick, with its lengthy wick, indicates that substantial selling occurred at higher prices.
The buyers prevented the EOS/USDT pair from staying below the 20-day EMA ($1.32) despite the bears pulling the price back below the breakout mark of $1.46 on August 19. This is a favourable development. This suggests that consumers are drawn to lower levels.
The pair may rise to $1.83 if bulls keep the price above $1.46 and maintain strong momentum. The rally may continue till it reaches the pattern target of $2.11 if this resistance is also scaled.
If the price declines and declines below $1.24, this optimistic outlook could be rendered worthless. The 50-day SMA ($1.17) would then be reached if the pair fell.
EOS/USDT
The RSI on the 4-hour chart reached extreme overbought levels as a result of the surge above $1.46 on August 17. As a result, the price may have been lured by short-term investors to book profits, moving it to the strong support level of $1.24. The pair has once more crossed the overhead barrier at $1.46 as the bulls bought the decline to this level.
The pair may now rise to $1.56 before attempting to overcome the significant barrier at $1.83. Alternatively, it will indicate that the pair may remain range-bound for a few days if the price declines from the current level and breaks below the moving averages.
QNT/USDT
According to the string of higher highs and lower lows, Quant (QNT) is in a recent uptrend. The bulls are aiming to resume the up-move after buying the decline to the 50-day SMA ($100).
The drop may have ended if the price maintains above the 20-day EMA ($111). The QNT/USDT pair may first gain ground to $124 before attempting to overcome the critical resistance at $133. The pair may rise to the overhead resistance area between $154 and $162 if bulls overcome this obstacle.
Contrary to what is often believed, if the price is unable to maintain above the 20-day EMA, it may be a sign that traders are cutting losses on rallies. To seize control and initiate a deeper decline to $79, the bears must drive the price below $98.
QNT/USDT
Within a falling wedge pattern, the pair has been correcting. Although the buyers managed to raise the price above the pattern’s resistance line, they were unable to maintain the breakout. This implies that bear activity is higher up.
The pair may descend below the 20-EMA if the price remains below the 50-SMA. This is a crucial level to be aware of.
If the price rises off of this level, it may be a sign that the short-term trend is now in the buyers’ favor.
The corrective phase may have ended if the price breaks and closes above $118. On the other hand, the pair may fall to $100 if the price drops below the 20-EMA.
CHZ/USDT
On August 18, Chiliz (CHZ) jumped to $0.23, sending the RSI well into overbought territory. The price may have fallen back below the breakout level of $0.20 as a result of short-term traders being enticed to book profits.
The bulls’ attempt to defend the 20-day EMA ($0.17) and raise the price back over $0.20 is a small positive. If they are successful, it will indicate that traders are still buying on dips and that the sentiment is still favorable. This raises the possibility of a $0.23 retest. Bulls could gain momentum and push the CHZ/USDT pair to $0.26 if they overcome this obstacle.
In contrast to this presumption, it will indicate that bears are selling on rallies if the price fails to increase over $0.20. If the pair falls below the 20-day EMA, the bears will take control once again. After that, the pair can fall to the 50-day SMA ($0.13).
CHZ/USDT
The bulls are attempting to protect the uptrend line, but moving averages are providing severe opposition to the recovery. On the 4-hour chart, the moving averages completed a bearish crossover, and the RSI is in the negative range, pointing to a little edge for selling.
The selling might become more intense and the pair could fall to $0.16 and then $0.14 if the price declines and breaks below the uptrend line. This action will show that the bears are still in charge.
Instead, the bulls will attempt to drive the pair to $0.21 and then target the resistance at $0.23 if the price breaks above the moving averages.
