LEGACY MARKETS – DXY
#DXY still keeps strong. However, both crypto (mainly BTC) and equities are still trading near the highs while DXY is very close to range-high at this point.
LEGACY MARKETS – VIX
VIX is still to be kept on the radar with the whole Middle Eastern situation. It caused a quick sell-off last Friday.
BTC WEEKLY VIEW
$BTC is still consolidating near ATHs. For now, it’s a waiting game until the ATHs get taken out and the market resumes the uptrend.
ETH WEEKLY VIEW
$ETH is still in 2.4-2.7 range. With ETH/BTC still struggling to find any sort of relative strength.
ETH/BTC
ETH/BTC is still in a heavy downtrend and struggling to find any relative strength over BTC.
TOTAL3 USD MARKET STRENGTH
Alts are still very sensitive to any kind of BTC down moves. Ideally, this starts receding and the ALT/BTC ratios start to catch some serious strength. For now, however, it’s not the case just yet.
TOTAL3 BTC MARKET STRENGTH
TOTAL3/BTC is still ranging. For a full “Altseason”, a range break to the upside would be the start of a massive trend of altcoin dominance over BTC.
SUMMARY
Altcoins are close but still fail to gain any significant traction relative to BTC. And still take massive drawdowns on the smallest BTC drops.
