WEEKLY REVIEW 09/02/26 BTC, SPY, GOLD, OIL, ETH
TL;DR
This weekly review analyzes Bitcoin, SPY, Gold, Oil, and Ethereum, presenting mixed signals and potential trading opportunities across markets, with a focus on technical analysis and Elliott Wave patterns.
Key insights
Bitcoin's Bear Market Outlook: Bounce or Further Decline?
- Bitcoin has reached the 250-day weekly EMA and oversold conditions, suggesting a potential bounce.
- The current bounce may be part of an A-wave down in a bear market, with a possibility of one more sweep of the lows before a larger bounce.
- The year-long bear market model suggests a bounce into late spring/early summer, followed by a decline towards year-end.
- Alternative count suggests a completed bottom, but historical precedent favors a traditional bear market.
SPY Analysis: Mixed Signals and Trading Opportunities
- Monthly timeframe shows overbought conditions without bearish divergence, while the weekly timeframe exhibits bearish divergence and weakening momentum.
- The market is treading water with sideways movement and higher highs/lows, but with decreasing volume and weakening MACD.
- Despite mixed signals, the current range offers tradable opportunities with defined risk for both long and short positions.
- A bullish 'melt-up' scenario is possible if the SPY breaks key resistance levels, but a bearish ending diagonal or deep wave 2 correction remains a concern.
Gold Market: Potential Pivot and Long-Term Bullish Outlook
- While silver showed a violent pivot, gold's daily timeframe appears more damaged than its weekly chart.
- There's a possibility of a pivot in gold, with a potential for an orderly correction and a deep retracement.
- The long-term outlook for gold remains bullish, with the possibility of a secular, multi-generational bull market.
- Two main counts exist: a potential temporary top followed by further retracement before new highs, or a fifth wave commodity melt-up.
Oil Sector: Equities Leading the Way Amidst Divergence
- The speaker has been bullish on oil equities for months, with exposure now at a satisfactory level.
- Oil equities like Exxon are making new highs, significantly diverging from the lagging oil price.
- This divergence suggests equities may be anticipating an oil price increase before it materializes.
- While the overall thesis is bullish for oil, the speaker acknowledges the possibility of being early or wrong, emphasizing risk management.
Ethereum's Complex Chart: Uncertainty and Multiple Possibilities
- Ethereum's chart is described as a 'mess' due to sideways movement since 2021, unlike Bitcoin's clearer trend.
- Key possibilities include a large flat pattern, a wonky expanding diagonal, or a developing extension.
- The speaker is torn due to the lack of clear signals and the divergence from Bitcoin's more defined movements.
- A bearish scenario involves a significant crash below $900, while a bullish scenario points to a potential 'melt-up' or a leading diagonal.
