BTC: Successfully Tests Fibonacci Projection 61.8% Level
On the weekly chart, BTC surged after successfully testing the Fibonacci Projection 61.8% level (equivalent to the $53,500-$60,000 region). However, the Stochastic Oscillator indicator is venturing deep into overbought territory. If sell signals reappear and it falls out of this region, the risk of a correction increases in the coming period.
As mentioned in the Q2 2024 Crypto Report (Issue 1), BTC is in an upward trajectory in the medium-term trend and continuously tests the Neckline of the Rounding Bottom pattern. Going forward, if BTC successfully breaks through this resistance level, the next price target will be the $120,000-$125,000 region.

Back to the daily chart, BTC dropped below the Middle curve of the Bollinger Bands, while the MACD indicator continues to widen the gap with the Signal line after a previous sell signal, indicating that the short-term outlook is turning negative.
Additionally, the Stochastic Oscillator continues downward after a previous sell signal, suggesting that investor sentiment remains bearish.
Overall, short-term risk signals have emerged. Investors should prioritize risk management, consider reducing their positions, and only deploy capital when more positive signals appear in the market.

ETH: Death Cross Appears
On the daily chart, ETH exhibits a death cross between the 50-day SMA and the 100-day SMA, and the failure to retest the March 2024 high (around $3,900-$4,200) suggests that the medium-term outlook is losing momentum.
Moreover, the MACD indicator continues downward after providing a sell signal. If the sell signal is sustained, the correction scenario may persist in the upcoming sessions.
Currently, the 23.6% Fibonacci Projection level (approximately $3,300-$3,500) is considered a relatively important support level in ETH‘s ongoing correction.
Based on these signals, it is anticipated that ETH may retest the 50-day SMA and consolidate before resuming its long-term upward trajectory.
