Hi!
We have some important signs for the dollar index that don't bode well for the crypto market!
This is the 1 WEEK CHART.
This is a high degree of reliability.
In fact, what we saw on last week's hourly chart has already developed into a persistent reversal.
1: Ishimoku. The green Kumo cloud has halted Bitcoin's fall. In fact its lower boundary Senkou B has not been tested. Kijun-sen also does not show resistance to the candlestick, and usually turns out to be the next support later...
2. EMA100 area is a support in the weekly chart. This is a very good signal for the continuation of USD strengthening trend!
3. The volatility has stopped falling and the first red shortening bar appeared. I'm sure in a few weeks there will also be the first black cross signifying a squeeze before an upside shot.
4. Stochastic has reversed and is flying up.
5. This is a Heikin Ashi chart and it is more sensitive to a trend reversal than normal Japanese candlesticks. You can see how we started this week.
Conclusion.
Remember, Bitcoin is still private money (even if influential funds buy it for investment purposes). Bitcoin has no monetary authority, it plays on the open market against fiat currencies (primarily the dollar), which are managed by powerful financial institutions.
This new weekly green candle is the result of a +0.25% increase in the Fed's key rate. Dollar borrowing has become expensive. Why should there be free liquidity available in the market to inject into high risk assets? Or do you believe that private hands around the world will outbid the Fed?
No, I do not believe that this weak sideways move of Bitcoin in November-December was a consolidation.
Now the curses will come )))
P.S. If I'm wrong, that's my problem.
You can watch this chart and decide your’s opinion.
I don't want to change your mind at all.
I am only pointing out my thoughts.
But I would like people to think better.
