Bitcoin at major weekly area of 3600.
Is this going to be broken, is this going to hold us from further decline? Hard to say. Looking at this weekly candle that is about to close today, looks like there is nothing stopping us from further decline.
It is useless to look at lower time frames since we have this weekly candle. There should happen miracle to invalidate this candle. It is hard to imagine price closing like this and not going further down next week. At lest creating shadow through these supports.
For accumulation, at 82% from its all time high is of course great but long option still doesn't look smart idea. There is not increase in short positions. It is still the same so some short squeeze is not going to happen easily.
We saw potential bullish scenario after 3D close but once flag was broken down, it was clear that bullish scenario doesn't have too much chance to happen.
Near future is still very bearish, where the price is going to stop is just a question that nobody probably knows!
But, the community dreamed about these prices. I wish I bough BTC at $3k was one of the most frequent messages I saw last year. Here you are 🍴
The meal is served! You can accumulate as much as you want but at the moment the most frequent messages are "I wish I sold at $6k"
Time flies, who knows what will be the most frequent message in 3 months from now or even 3 years?

Bitmex funding rate
What is funding rate? It is commission that traders pay or get for holding opened position ever 8 hours.
It changes time to time. If the funding rate is 0.05% it means that someone will receive and someone will pay that commission. It is not commission for exchange but commission from members to members.
Sometimes shorts pay to longs and sometimes longs pay to shorts.
This is the link where you can find that information: https://www.bitmex.com/app/contract/XBTUSD
Why is this important?
Funding is usually around 0.05% up to 0.08%. Last funding was 0.25% while the funding for next 8h is 0.16%.
Shorts pay to longs. It seems not important but it is very important.
Funding of 0.25% is huge commission for shorts because in one day you have to pay 3 times that commission and paying 0.75% is huge money. Especially because you pay from your money and if you use leverage, it is going to increase. If you use leverage 10x, you are going to pay 7.5% just funding commission.
This is just informative warning for you to take look at this because now shorts are paying huge commission just for holding position.
This is one of reasons why we focus on scalps to avoid paying huge funding and also because scalps are currently offering huge opportunity.
So, take care of the funding rate. We do not say to avoid shorting because of this but just keep that fee in mind. Maybe you can wait for entry after funding to avoid paying that fee.
Pay attention also because it’s changing and sometimes longs pay finding fee.
This is mentioned because there is a lot of questions about maker ad taker fees and most of people igore fudig rate. Market fee is 0.075% and you pay it once. Fudig rate is every 8 hours ad it goes all the way up to 0.25% so if you care about maker and taker fees, funding rate is even more important for you to pay attention to.

Fundamental analysis
Weekly time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/LXFLTwPp/
Daily time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/z3lyuweZ/
We saw very good bounce off yesterday but it didn't help so much weekly candle that is still too bearish. This weekly close tells us that price could go at least one more time to test 3600 support and even 3000 support.
But the bounce off was important because it showed that there are interest in the buying.
We are currently doing long and hosrt scalps according to trade setups.
The current sentiment is positive because of yesterdays up move but if we don't break above 4200 area and close, most likely we are going down slowly but steady.
So, the trend is still bearish but at least we saw that there is interest at support area of 3600. To confirm that interest we need to see further move above 4100-4200 otherwise we are going down again!

Bitcoin is still showing downward momentum to 3k support.
There is a lot of action around 3.6k support and it is good sign but we think that 3k will be targeted and probably the final target of this sell off. Then, once that price is reached, if 3k holds out, we may enter consolidation phase around 3.5-4.5k for some time.
All in all, the market is still very bearish.
H4 time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/awvMXGCU/
This time frame shows very good the battle around 3.6k support. For not it is holding and if it wants to hold, we need price above 4.0k because everything else we will extra bearish.

Are Institutional Investors Accumulating Bitcoin
There are popular tweets, such as:
Retail: ‘should I sell and buy back lower? should I open a short? should I just give up? is it going to zero? was this whole crypto thing a scam after all?’
Institutions: ‘please keep selling us cheap bitcoin. thank you.’”
But the question is, are they really accumulating Bitcoin?
Rrofessional traders and institutional investors are highly cautious in accumulating new assets and often invest in a way that it has minimal impact on the short-term price trend of the asset or the currency.
They are never going to put huge sell or buy wall. They are never going to execute trade all at once. They are buying step by step by using bots that are executing trades of $10 each. If we spot them accumulating, then we will start doing it too and that's what they avoid.
The problem, however, is concluding that ‘because institutional investors are buying, price will immediately go up.
If they are accumulating, it means they are keeping price low to accumulate as much as they want.
Institutional investors tend to invest in speculative assets through the over-the-counter (OTC) market. In the case of Bitcoin, due to its lack of liquidity, institutional investors have to rely on trusted custodians like Coinbase Custody and Fidelity Digital Assets to purchase or sell large sums of BTC.
OTC market operators and custodial solution providers are not obliged to share their trading volumes **and as a result, data held by OTC exchanges is rarely released to the public. Because of the lack of information offered by OTC exchanges, **it is difficult to back up claims that institutions are accumulating BTC to a large extent.
It remains unclear whether institutions are merely interested in cryptocurrencies or are actively accumulating Bitcoin as a long-term investment.
Currently, the demand for Coinbase Custody, Bakkt, and Fidelity DIgital Assets is one of the limited ways to justify institutional demand for crypto and recently, Bakkt confirmed that the demand is growing rapidly.
Apart from Instituons, what about whales? Are they selling, buying more of just holding?
If we take look at top100 richest Bitcoin addresses (https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html), we do not see too much action. Some of them are buying, some of them are selling but apart from that, the majority is holding.
What is clear that weak hands are going to leave crypto world. In our opinion it is too important for the future of the world so we do not expect to see the end of crypto world. We do not know if Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and others are going to make it, but crypto in general is going to survive and keep fighting for decentralised world.

Almost year ago, the day before the beginning of the bloodbath. One year later, after breaking frist support of 5500, we are testing second support at 3600.
While others are sharing their successful predictions of predicting drop from 6000 to 3600, we can say that we shared bearish prediction just $50 below the all time high, at the highest point of bullish sentiment and market euphoria. 😉

Major US Crypto Exchange Coinbase Launches OTC Crypto Trading for Institutional Investors
https://cointelegraph.com/news/major-us-crypto-exchange-coinbase-launches-otc-crypto-trading-for-institutional-investors
Opening OTC is the beginning of huge accumulation.
By the way, what is OTC market?
What is an 'Over-The-Counter Market'
A decentralized market, without a central physical location, where market participants trade with one another through various communication modes such as the telephone, email, and proprietary electronic trading systems. An over-the-counter (OTC) market and an exchange market are the two basic ways of organizing financial markets. In an OTC market, dealers act as market-makers by quoting prices at which they will buy and sell a security, currency, or other financial products. A trade can be executed between two participants in an OTC market without others being aware of the price at which the transaction was completed. In general, OTC markets are typically less transparent than exchanges and are also subject to fewer regulations.
In short, they can buy or sell as much as they want without revealing it to the public. This is the favourite way of accumulating for Instituations because they can buy as much as they want without affecting prices.
The price could be affected in case of some smart AI finds big transactions but you never know the nature of random transactions.
After this event, it could be clear that Institutions are coming, if they are not already here!

Bullish scenario : https://www.tradingview.com/x/IJZfXW7K/

Market is finally looking good after 2 weeks of huge selloff. I am not saying again the bottom is reached for that we need confirmation on weekly time frame and we are still too far from that but this bullish action could lead us towards 4500 at least.
Currently, daily candle found resistance around 4250 as we said yesterday so it is important area and very strong resistance.
If that resistance gets broken, next one is at 4500 and after that one, we do not have any major resistance all the way up until 5500.

Using coinmarketcap.com is good idea totrack market situation?
This is going to be education post about best source to track data about cryptocurrencies.
Firstly, the best solution is to use at least 2 sources of information because to rely just on one source could be risky.
Coinmarketcap.com is the largest website in the category of cryptocurrency and 5th largest website in the category finance with average monthly views around 80 million.
Considering that, it is very popular in crypto community. We saw a lot of rumours about fake data on coinmarket cap.
To start with, for these that do not know, it is not showing data from all exchanges. It is also not showing data from few countries. For example, it excludes Korean exchanges.
That's why the trading volume is different because it exludes some of exchanges. But market cap is still the same because it depends on circulating supply and current average price on all exchanges. So, the market cap is valid but trading volume isn't because it doesn't include all exchanges.
There is a little bit more info that vary but using coinmarketcap.com and combining with one more is more than enough.
The reason for this post was rumours of fake market cap showed on coinmarketcap.com and comparing it with the market cap showed on https://finance.yahoo.com/cryptocurrencies/ for example.
This is very good source of info too but there is huge mistake. Check market cap for ripple. It shows $40 billion while coinmarketcap.com is showing $15 billion.
Because of that, a lot of ripple hypers started to call coinmarketcap.com fake but the truth is that yahoo finance used total supply as circulating supply and because of that mistake, it shows more than 2.5 times bigger market cap for ripple.
So, to conclude, coinmarketcap.com is good source of info but please consider using at least one more in order to confirm information.

It doesn't make sense to use higher time frames for trading because they were too far from resistance and using only lower time frames was more than enough.
Since we are now testing resistance area on higher time frames, we should skip from lower to higher time frames and wait for confirmation.
As long as we are below this resistance, the market is still quite bearish in general. If we see breaking these levels and close above, we can think of continuation of this short uptrend, otherwise we are going to start descending again.
To you success, CS Team!

Bitcoin Price Nearing ‘Capitulation Moment’: IG Market Analyst
We would like to point out one quote from this article:
"While casual traders and newcomers are finding their way out of the market, older investors with a longer time horizon are taking advantage of the depressed bitcoin price to acquire more of the asset."

Technical analysis
1h time frame :https://www.tradingview.com/x/gR0VkigZ/
BTC is holding strongly above 3900 support. We shared in our paid channel yesterday to not panic as long as BTC is above 3900 since it is solid daily support.
Close below 3900 would lead us again to 3600 and more likely to new low. But if we see few more rejections by this support, we may see price again above 4000 and maybe test of previous high (4400).

Technical analysis
Hourly time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/SnFea8NB/
BTC daily close below 4250 triggered short trade setup and we saw drop. Then the support area was strong enough one more time and caused bounce off.
Now for next clear trend, we need daily close below 3850 or 4250 to trade with the trend. Otherwise, we can catch those ups and downs that are developing in this trading range.

G20 Agrees to Regulate Crypto, But is This Good or Bad for the Market?

Technical analysis
Daily time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/5EXjPhkI/
BTC broke 3900 support and if it doesn't invalidate this bearish close today or at least tomorrow, we expect 3600, 3300 and probably 3000 on the way down to be reached.
In the area between 2800-3100 we expect to see major support to be formed. In that case this whole downtrend would find strong support. Breaking that area would endanger short term price of Bitcoin, maybe even long term.

Bitcoin is respecting our price levels again. It broke through our resistance and now it is resting at 3900 area as potential support level.
You can see clearly the triangle it is forming at the moment. The next move is going to happen once we see break from this triangle, either up or down move.
Fundamentally it looks very good. More and more merchants are accepting crypto, more and more big exchanges are offering crypto trading. This is what crypto needs! Once big bull run starts, we will have ev erything ready to gain maximum potential.

4H time frame : https://www.tradingview.com/x/2yN2q72a/
It was very clear on this chart where we are heading next. We saw breakdown, retest of previous support and once price was rejected, it dropped heavily.
We told you to follow this triangle in our post 2 days ago. The triangle is going to determine price movememnt for upcoming couple of days.
Now, it is targeting 2800-3200 area. Once that area gets reached, we expect to see long term support to be established there. If that happens, we can call this healthy correction for future of BTC but if that fails to happen and we see break through this level all the way down to $1800, then it can take a lot of time until new all time high.
P.S. We were offline last 36h and we apologise for inactivity last 2 days. We are back with full power now and we are going to deliver best content for you.

If we check the history, the second news today shared in this update (When Bitcoin’s Price Breaks Down, It Follows a Pattern), shows us something very interesting. Last few years, BTC price always used to create triangle and the outcome was always the same, breakdown. But after that breakdown, the outcome was always the same, uptrend.
