Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Rolando Santos (@TKPTrader). It’s a daily candlestick chart of Bitcoin over the past year. The candlesticks are color-coded to represent momentum as measured by RSI. Bitcoin broke out to all-time highs a few weeks ago, however, that breakout is beginning to look like a failed move. Bitcoin thrives and dives based on momentum. Momentum has been diverging negatively on each new high, and RSI is now solidly below 50. Most rallies occur when RSI is above 60 (white candles), rather than below 50 like it is now (red candles). The good news is that Bitcoin is still in a primary uptrend. However, price is currently trapped below the April highs (around $64k) and momentum is deteriorating. Some caution is warranted until those two conditions improve.

The cruelest game would be if $IWM 'broke out', and then spent the next 9 months doing nothing again…

Would be a nice spot for $IWM to bounce again. So far holding the 20-day EMA. pic.twitter.com/yIwXdeaO00

The past 9 times the S&P 500 was up at least 20% in a year it was higher that next year every single time.
In fact, up 11.5% on average after a 20% gain is actually better than your average year. That probably isn't something most investors realize. pic.twitter.com/RU1gP8VqW4

Gasoline failed to break above $2.50, a historically key price level, and is continuing to move lower today. Is this going to lead to crude oil back below $77? We'll see. pic.twitter.com/NsVouvvskM

Look at the chart of the 10-year yield next to bitcoin $btcusd
Could you tell which is which without the labels?
They look almost exactly the same. Because they are both responsive to the same economic stimuli.

(1/3) ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF is down 7.6% since it launched last month, while #BTC is down 5.7%. One of the reasons for the spread is the fund owns futures, not actual BTC…and the futures contracts are rolled over (sell expiring contract, buy other contract). pic.twitter.com/oz6rRCFJ84
