    BTCUSD and XRPUSD Technical Analysis – 14th FEB 2023

    BTCUSD: The Evening Star Pattern Below $23432

    Bitcoin was unable to sustain its bullish momentum last week and after touching a high of $22432 started to decline against the US dollar, touching a low of $21450 on 13th Feb.

    We have seen a bearish opening of the markets this week.

    We can clearly see the evening star pattern below the $23432 handle which is a bearish reversal pattern because it signifies the end of an uptrend and a shift towards a downtrend.

    Bitcoin touched an intraday high of 21839 in the Asian trading session and an intraday low of 21683 in the European trading session today.

    We can see the formation of a three black crows pattern in the weekly time frame indicating bearish trends.

    The Ichimoku price is under the cloud in the 2-hour time frame indicating bearish trends.

    Both the STOCH and Williams percent range are indicating overbought levels which means that in the immediate short term a decline in the prices is expected.

    The RSI indicator is back under 50 in the 2-hour time frame indicating the bearish nature of the markets.

    The relative strength index is at 48.77 indicating a NEUTRAL demand for bitcoin, and the shift towards the consolidation phase in the markets.

    Bitcoin is now moving below its 100 hourly simple moving average and below its 100 hourly exponential moving averages.

    Some of the major technical indicators are giving a SELL signal, which means that in the immediate short term, we are expecting targets of 21000 and 20500.

    The average true range is indicating LESS market volatility with a mildly bearish momentum.

    • Bitcoin: bearish reversal seen below $23432.
    • The commodity channel index is indicating a NEUTRAL level.
    • The price is now trading just below its pivot levels of $21764.
    • The short-term range is mildly bearish.

    Bitcoin: Bearish Reversal Seen Below $23432

    The price of Bitcoin was unable to cross the $24K mark last week, and we can see a continuous fall in the levels now trading below the $22K handle.

    As some of the technical indicators are also giving a neutral stance of the markets, we are expecting that a bullish reversal is possible after touching the $20500 level.

    We have also detected the formation of bearish engulfing lines in the 30-minute time frame.

    The MACD crosses down its moving average in the 15-minute time frame indicating the bearish nature of the markets.

    We can see the formation of a bearish price crossover pattern with the adaptive moving average AMA20 in both the 30-minute and 2-hour time frames.

    The immediate short-term outlook for bitcoin is mildly bearish, the medium-term outlook has turned bearish, and the long-term outlook remains neutral under present market conditions.

    Bitcoin’s support zone is located at $20027 at which the price crosses the 40-day moving average, and at $20937 at which the price crosses the 18-day moving average stalls.

    The price of BTCUSD is now facing its classic support level of 21703 and Fibonacci support level of 21502 after which the path towards 21000 will get cleared.

    In the last 24hrs BTCUSD has increased by 0.57% by 122.76$ and has a 24hr trading volume of USD 21.364 billion. We can see an increase of 0.42% in the trading volume compared to yesterday, which appears to be normal.

    The Week Ahead

    Bitcoin is now facing the extended crypto winter due to which the prices are unable to rise above the $25000 level.

    We are now heading towards the $21500 level this week.

    The daily RSI is printing at 47.08 which indicates a NEUTRAL demand for bitcoin and the continuation of the bearish phase present in the markets in the short-term range.

    We can see the formation of a bearish trend line from $23432 towards the $21576 level.

    The price of BTCUSD is now facing its support zone located at $20884 which is a 38.2% retracement from a 13-week high.

    Apple stock maintains highs, flying in face of tech drop

    The dystopian reality that has plagued the stocks of large technology and internet companies which are listed on North America's most prestigious exchanges is now a few months long.

    The overall decline in US tech stock values over a prolonged period compared to the buoyant baskets of 'old fashioned' stocks on the other side of the Atlantic is a clear indication that relative newcomers to a big cap market with little provenance are not necessarily that favorable among investors at the moment.

    London's mining, entertainment, food production, telecommunications, construction, travel and retail stocks have held up well, despite being legacy industries, compared to the avantgarde internet giants and EV startups of Silicon Valley which are listed on NASDAQ and NYSE. Even Tesla has been losing value at the rate of a depleting battery over recent months.

    There is one exception, however, and that is Apple.

    Two days ago, Apple stock was at its highest point in over one month, and today, whilst that steady climb that has taken place during the past 30 days has begun to tail off, the value of Apple stock is still strong, finishing the New York session and beginning today's trading at $153.20.

    Over the past month, Apple stock has been relatively volatile, however the overall upward direction demonstrates a 12.7% increase over its price this time one month ago, with the five-day moving average looking a little more volatile, with some sharp upward and downward movements having taken place during the past week. However, despite those sharp movements, the overall value has remained steady with only a 0.41% drop over the past five days.

    Perhaps one of the factors that has made Apple stock stand out from the other big tech stocks which have experienced value decreases compared to Apple's increases is that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway investment company has increased its stake in Apple this week.

    Berkshire Hathaway already had a very large steak in Apple, however the fund management company has now acquired Alleghany, which is an American insurance company which owned shares in Apple. As part of the takeover by Berkshire Hathaway, Alleghany's share in Apple was transferred to Bershire Hathaway.

    Berkshire Hathaway's overall Apple stake, which includes around 20 million shares held by its New England Asset Management subsidiary, stood at 916 million shares or 5.8% of the company at the end of December last year, however the position was worth over $140 billion as of Tuesday's close, making it easily the most valuable holding in Berkshire's portfolio.

    Warren Buffett is well known for his astute shrewdness and conservative attitude to risk, which puts his interest in Apple at a different end of the spectrum to those SPAC listings which took place 2 years ago where a gung-ho approach was taken and previously unknown companies with unproven products had suddenly become valued at tens of millions of dollars, only to decrease once the reality sets in.

    Apple's reality is solid business and backing by one of the world's most prudent and astute fund managers. That difference is clear when looking at investor response.

    We can see a continuous escalation in the price of Ethereum which is expected to push up its price above the $1700 handle.

    The price of ETH has touched a new record high of 5 months.

    We can clearly see a double bottom pattern above the $1462 handle which is a bullish pattern and signifies the end of a bearish phase and the start of a bullish phase in the markets.

    ETH is now trading just above its pivot level of 1681 and moving into a strongly bullish channel. The price of ETHUSD is now testing its classic resistance level of 1687 and Fibonacci resistance level of 1693 after which the path towards 1800 will get cleared.

    We can see the formation of bullish engulfing lines in the weekly time frame.

    The relative strength index is at 75.92 indicating a very strong demand for Ether and the continuation of the buying pressure in the markets.

    The RSI is giving an overbought signal, which means that the price is expected to decline in the short-term range.

    Most of the technical indicators are giving a STRONG BUY market signal.

    Most of the moving averages are giving a STRONG BUY signal at the current market level of $1683.

    ETH is now trading above both the 100 hourly simple and 100 hourly exponential moving averages.

    • Ether: bullish reversal seen above the $1462 mark.
    • The short-term range appears to be strongly bullish.
    • ETH continues to remain above the $1650 level.
    • The average true range is indicating LESS market volatility.

    ETHUSD touched an intraday high of 1707 and an intraday low of 1664 in the Asian trading session today.

    The Aroon indicator is giving a bullish trend in the daily time frame.

    The key support levels to watch are $1657 at which the price crosses 9-day moving average stalls, and $1679 which is a 3-10 day MACD oscillator stalls.

    ETH has increased by 8.76% with a price change of 135.58$ in the past 24hrs and has a trading volume of 12.329 billion USD.

    We can see an increase of 34.47% in the total trading volume in the last 24 hrs which is due to the heavy buying seen at lower levels.

    The Week Ahead

    ETH has now moved into a breakout zone which is expected to continue this week and now we are heading towards the $1800 level.

    At present the prices are moving in a super bullish zone above the $1650 levels.

    We can see the formation of a bullish ascending channel from $1462 towards the $1713 level.

    The immediate short-term outlook for Ether has turned strongly bullish, the medium-term outlook has turned bullish, and the long-term outlook for Ether is neutral under present market conditions.

    The resistance zone is located at $1809 which is a 14-Day RSI at 70%, and at $1842 which is a pivot point 3rd level resistance.

    Weekly outlook is projected at $1900 with a consolidation zone of $1850.

    Oil volatility in vogue once again as crude production set to decrease

    After a very brief period of stagnation, crude oil prices are once again becoming volatile.

    Oil, along with many other raw material commodities which are used as energy sources, has been at the center of discussion for over two years, first of all due to restrictions on supplies caused by logistical channels being hampered by national lockdowns in key markets such as the Antipodes, Europe and North America, swiftly followed by a curtailment of supply by many of Russia's energy giants to European and American customers during the course of 2022.

    This resulted in a huge rise in oil prices across the world, because once again the demand was unable to be met by supply as European settlements to Russian energy companies were unable to be claimed by the suppliers due to sanctions on their Euro-denominated bank accounts, resulting in many customers having to pay for oil via direct settlement to a ruble-denominated bank account in Moscow.

    By the summer of last year, the cost of everyday consumer products based on oil such as fuel for motor vehicles rocketed and compounded and already serious cost of living crisis.

    This subsequently dwindled and many national governments stepped in to put price caps in place, however that has not been as simple a solution as it may have initially seemed.

    The price of crude oil has remained volatile despite the end user cost of fuel and domestic energy having reduced due to a combination of market conditions and government incentives, and this week, a further sudden movement has taken place.

    At the end of last week, Brent Crude Oil was heading toward the $80 per barrel mark. By Thursday it had reached $79.2 per barrel, but as the European trading session opened on Friday, this high value suddenly crashed to $75 per barrel.

    During the early hours of this morning, the price began to rise substantially again and is now heading toward the $78 mark, largely caused by an announcement that Russian oil firms are going to proceed with the planned cut in oil production by 500,000 barrels a day in March in response to the Western governments imposing price caps on its oil and oil products.

    These price caps are bizzare in their nature, in that G7 governments have agreed that all oil from any other oil producing country will be bought at market prices, whereas oil from Russian energy firms should be capped at $45 per barrel.

    Of course, Russian energy firms subject to such a cap will not supply oil on those terms, as it would represent a loss-making endeavor, so they will cut the production and not supply regions in which this cap is implemented.

    This has caused the price of oil to rise, because there will once again be a supply shortage in Europe.

    As a coincidence, Additionally, the overall OPEC+ nations last October stated that they would cut oil production targets by 2 million barrels per day until the end of 2023, so this cut by Russian firms in March is a sudden step to curtail production against a wider backdrop of scaling back oil production by the overall OPEC+ bloc of nations.

    Supply and demand has always dictated the price of consumable commodities such as oil, and today's circumstances are no exception.

    8,000 was a pipe dream for the FTSE 100... for now!

    It has been clear for almost two years that the FTSE 100 index, which consists of the 100 most prestigious and well capitalized blue-chip companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, has been the exception to the overall direction of most other assets in the United Kingdom.

    Whilst the Pound, along with many other business sectors, floundered, and a cost of living crisis engulfed the nation whilst energy prices and the cost of everyday consumables and necessities rocketed due to 50-year highs in inflation, the FTSE 100 remained not only very buoyant but reached unprecedented highs.

    Back in mid-2021, euphoric analysts were waxing lyrical on financial news channels in mainstream media about how the FTSE 100 index had broken the 7,000 point barrier. That was during a time at which the British government was lining up its ministers on an almost daily basis to tell the public how intent on locking down the country's businesses and public on a repeated basis, disabling businesses and impoverishing the general public.

    Now, here we are a year and a half later, and whilst the lockdowns have stopped, they have been replaced by geopolitical uncertainty and an intent involvement by the British government in sanctions against one of the world's largest oil and gas producing country as well as massive public spending during a time of recession in which millions of people are having to tighten their belts and interest rates are four times higher than they were two years ago with inflation still in double digits.

    Despite this perhaps alarming backdrop, the FTSE 100 is not only hovering above the 7,000 points mark that it was during the equally surprising trends demonstrated in 2021, but it has been almost reaching 8,000 points!

    Just last week, many seasoned analysts in financial institutions had looked toward the 8,000 point mark being reached.

    This looked very likely last week, as the value of the FTSE 100 index continued to rise rapidly, but today things have taken a turn.

    The FTSE 100 index dropped by 0.68% during the early hours of the London trading session and by 9.00am UK time, it was trading at 7,954 points.

    That is still very high and is still at its highest point in over a year apart from last Thursday when it briefly broke through the 8,000 points mark and reached 8012 points which is an all time high.

    Whilst it is still very interesting and quite fascinating that these high levels are being reached by the performance of long-established traditional companies that make up the FTSE 100 index in such bleak economic times, the seemingly endless upward surge has stopped and momentum has tailed off.

    That it is still high is of course remarkable, but the real news here is that the one economic measure that has been bucking the trend for a long time has begun to stop increasing in value at such a rapid rate.

    What is perhaps odd here is that FTSE 100 opened lower this morning even though there has been better than expected news on public sector debt in the United Kingdom - something many people are very worried about - and ahead of a raft of PMI announcements.

    It is highly likely that some macro data has affected the values, and the only negative information that has come to light is that medical firm Smith & Nephew announced a drop in annual operating profits as margins dipped.

    The global medical technology company said operating profit margins slipped to 8.6% from 11.4% reflecting higher inflation in freight and logistics, the impact of China VBP, as well as sales and marketing expenditure levels returning to more normal levels. However despite this, its stock rose in value by over 6%!

    InterContinental Hotels PLC experienced a drop in share value of 2.1%, following its announcement of a forthcoming $750 million share buyback. That is still not much to rock the entire index however.

    Perhaps this is just a small blip, but it is definitely one of interest.

    We can see that the MACD indicator is back over zero in the weekly time frame indicating bullish trends.

    We can see a bullish price crossover with moving average MA50 in the weekly time frame indicating bullish trends.

    British Pound suddenly jumps against Euro and Dollar in surprise revival

    Anyone who has walked the streets of rural England over the past two years would be led to believe that there is no end to the continual economic doom and gloom.

    Very concerned residents, combined with news headlines focusing on recessions, cost of living crises, virulent inflation and a noticeable downturn in standards of living would have likely been very visible.

    Certainly these are not sentiments without basis. Despite the British calmness, there has definitely been cause for grave concern for many residents of the provincial areas of the country for at least two years now.

    London continues to prosper, due to its status as an international capital, unaffected by national ups and downs, as well as being the world's largest and most developed financial center, hence there have been some very stable stock market trends in the capital despite the backdrop of austerity in the wider United Kingdom.

    The decline of the British Pound over the latter period of last year against the US Dollar and Euro was a very concerning dynamic. It clearly demonstrated the woes of Brexit, as well as the clear reality that even a wounded US economy was able to get back on track quicker than the blighted British economy.

    Inflation in the United Kingdom remains at around 10.5%, against 6.5% in the United States, and whilst the North American corporations have had their revenues affected by the decrease in inflation in their own domestic market which has meant that they have to pay more to support their European subsidiaries in areas of high inflation, as well as pay suppliers more as the US inflation decreases and European inflation continues to rise, domestic business is doing quite well in various states.

    The US Dollar has been holding its own, and has been very strong against the Pound and Euro for many months.

    However suddenly the British Pound has arisen from its downward spiral and by yesterday evening, a sudden spike was evident.

    At 16.00 during the London trading session, the British Pound had risen from the low 1.21 mark earlier in the day to almost 1.22.

    That may seem only a small movement on the face of it, but it is actually the highest point in five days by far, half a percent above the five day moving average.

    The same applies to the Pound's movement against the Euro. Early this morning it suddenly gained ground and reached 1.137, another five day high against a major currency.

    The sudden upward surge that the Pound has experienced has now leveled off, but it has not dropped in value to the lows of earlier this week.

    One possible explanation for this could be that figures released by the British government yesterday showing stronger customer demand contributed to renewed increases in backlogs of work and employment across the private sector economy during February, therefore alluding to a possible increase in growth for the British economy which has languished for so long.

    The Pound's journey has been interesting over recent months, now the conundrum of whether the British economy is getting itself back on track or not is another item to watch.

    Things are beginning to look up for the British Pound

    The British Pound, which for many years was a bastion of solidity, its position as the world's most valuable sovereign currency giving it a unique status among other majors, and its low volatility giving it a guilt-edged reputation for low volatility and dependable long term value.

    That all changed during the course of last year, when the combined result of the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union, one and a half years of lockdowns, and involvement in global geopolitical affairs along with a cost of living crisis which is now over a year long, resulted in the British Pound sliding down to very low points against the Euro and US Dollar over a period of several weeks.

    As 2023 began, this constant reduction in value began to subside and volatility began, with the Pound sometimes regaining ground against the Dollar and Euro despite the clear economic concerns about the recession-bound British economy.

    Today, a little more volatility has been demonstrated, and the Pound rose this morning quite noticeably against the US Dollar, going from 1.19 to the high 1.20 range within an hour of the London markets opening.

    This may be the result of a few interesting factors, one of which may be the Office of National Statistics (ONS) having released data that the value of total goods imports into the United Kingdom increased by £155.5 billion (32.3%) and the value of total goods exports increased by £66.2 billion (20.8%) in 2022 when compared with 2021, which is an interesting and confidence-inspiring metric considering 2022's poor economic outlook for the country.

    Perhaps the most pragmatic way to view this is that imports did grow, but that is compared to 2021 when supply chain restrictions and lockdowns impeded imports, and consumers were saving their money due to uncertainty about the reopening of the economy.

    Either way, this is a positive direction and the Pound is responding in line with it.

    Additionally, as London continues to be an international financial and economic powerhouse despite the woes in the rest of the country, global consultancy EY has released figures which forecast that London's economy is on track to expand 2.6 per cent each year between 2024 and 2026, pushing it to the top of the countrywide growth table.

    Perhaps it is fair to assume that if this is the case, London is continuing to expand its economy despite the struggles in the provincial areas, denoting two distinctly different economic structures in one country.

    London's standing as a global financial capital with the world's best infrastructure for Tier 1 trading bodes well for growth as international business is the backbone of the city's financial ecosystem, therefore an increase in the value of the Pound on the back of such a report is perhaps to be expected.

    Certainly despite London’s GDP being expected to undergo a minor slowdown, shrinking 0.2 per cent this year, also the lowest of any region, it is tipped to race past Britain’s average yearly growth of 2.1 per cent between 2024 and 2026.

    Therefore the analysis depicts volatility, and the national currency is echoing it very clearly.
