Since this market seems impossible to hold down for more than a few moments, let’s direct our attention to the animal spirits of crypto to see what they’re saying.

We begin with Ethereum:

What I see in the chart above, in chronological order, is:

1. A market which broke its support at $1706 and plunged quickly;
2. Stabilized for many, many weeks and formed a bullish base (green tint);
3. Completed the bullish base and ascended toward its $1706 resistance;
4. Briefly got a little above resistance (red rectangle);
5. Has slipped back down below

This movement has informed Bitcoin’s price action, shown below, inasmuch as Bitcoin got “inspired” by ETH and broke above its own bullish pattern ... but only for about 20 seconds (arrow). It has now, as with ETH, slipped below its resistance level once more.

And, if nothing else, just listen to the “Experts”:
