LEGACY MARKETS – DXY

Crypto Market Pulse: September 9, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - DXY

DXY is consolidating on range low.

LEGACY MARKETS – VIX

Crypto Market Pulse: September 9, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - VIX

As mentioned last week VIX could see smaller spikes. Which it did almost all the way to 24. BTC risked off pretty heavily on Friday.

BTC WEEKLY VIEW

Crypto Market Pulse: September 9, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - BTC

BTC has opened the month of September fairly weak, almost revisiting the lows set in August. For now the ETF flows are following the weakness in stocks. So for BTC to hold up the SP500 will also have to regain strength this week.

ETH WEEKLY VIEW

Crypto Market Pulse: September 9, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - ETH

ETH revisited all the way down to the August low. The low from August is still holding and it’s a common theme for liquidation wicks to get retested with slow chop. If the market is still bullish however crypto should trade upwards in the coming weeks. If the low from August fails the downtrend could continue for quite a while.

ETH/BTC

Crypto Market Pulse: September 9, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - ETH

ETH/BTC is still stabilizing after the August drop. If ETH/BTC is to reverse though it’s going to be from this price range. If it fails and breaks down further it probably trends down all the way back to the lows.

TOTAL3 USD MARKET STRENGTH

Crypto Market Pulse: September 9, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - TOTAL3/USD

Alts are still building base. For so no real updates here. What is noticeable is that as soon as BTC stabilized even for a couple hours last week some alts, especially the binance IEO’s instantly rallied double digit percentages.

TOTAL3 BTC MARKET STRENGTH

Crypto Market Pulse: September 9, 2024: Kairon Labs Crypto Market Insights - TOTAL3/BTC

TOTAL3/BTC is finally garnering some momentum. As mentioned in TOTAL3 part everytime BTC was stabilizing in the downturn last week select alts started rallying. If BTC could actually garner some upward momentum, a lot of alts could easily rally 100-200%.

SUMMARY

  • ALT/BTC pairs are showing a lot of relative strength. With Q4 being a strong month for altcoins, it seems they’re setting up to repeat that, given that BTC can stabilize.
