Macro crypto currency market outlook

The short-term outlook should be less constructive in the aftermath of the January wave of parabolic price action through $40,000. Key indicators are unwinding from extreme overbought territory across multiple timeframes, warning of a period of deeper correction and consolidation before any meaningful bullish continuation can be expected. At the same time, look for setbacks to now be well supported into the $20,000 area.

    • BTC technical levels:
    • R2 45,000 – psychological – strong
    • R1 41,990 – 8 January/record high – medium
    • S1 28,730 – 22 January low – medium
    • S2 27,680 – 4 January/2021 low – strong

While the value proposition of crypto assets is exceptionally compelling over the medium and longer-term time horizons, the fact that the asset class is still widely considered as an emerging asset class, leaves it exposed in periods of risk off. At present, the ingredients of overpriced equities, exhausted monetary policy and government stimulus efforts, and a less encouraging pandemic recovery outlook, all set the stage for a round of intense risk liquidation that we anticipate will spill over into the crypto market. At the same time, much like in 2020, setbacks should be well supported on the very solid foundations of crypto economics, with BTC maturing into an attractive alternative store of value.
