What's goin on Traders?

It’s  6:35 PM Sunday, April 14th and we've got some harsh realities to confront about where this market could be headed next.

I've got to come correct and own up to completely whiffing on my previous analysis about that 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement zone holding as solid support. We brainstormed various scenarios, but the bitter truth is the bears obliterated right through those areas like they weren't even speed bumps.

At this rate, I wouldn't even be shocked to see a full-on capitulation slide breach below the $60K psychological barrier. The reason is, if you study the current Fibonacci swing spans more closely, the actual swing low resides just under $60K. A level that could open up a harrowing vacuum of intense sell-side liquidity.

We all know how this crypto market environment operates - low-hanging fruit is there to be exploited by larger players. Once we punch through the protective textbook retracement shelf like $60K, it has a sickening tendency to fuel a descent of maximum fervid-hit-toward deeper liquidity rungs. Call it a doom spiral if you will.

And just to really plow salt into the wound here, I'm even rethinking how much of an impact the supposedly "monstrous" halving catalyst will yield in the shorter term too. All this frenzied baking-in of a mythical halving bullcase could be bearing out as nothing more than an overegged overhyped fable.

We're staring down the real possibility that the heavily-anticipated "to-the-moon" halving narrative was mere phantasm now. With the market's propensity to regularly subvert the obvious Vector, it wouldn't surprise me if we saw some countertrend plunging first before any explosive new bullish activity.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still a staunch believer in the macro BraveNewCoin https://bravenewcoin.com/data-and-charts/market-cap thesis over the long term. But in these nauseating shorter-term cycles, all bets are officially off in terms of hitting fresh cycle tops straight out of the gates. Sometimes the path forward is flooding the underwater level first.

We could very well experience a punishing continuation phase of sell-side nomenclature value optics that seem to compound in extremis.

If you've got dry risk funds saved up, continue husbanding it closely until the higher probability Shatter Line setups emerge. But if overleveraged or swimming naked against the rapids, do be mentally primed to apply harsher risk tactics sooner than later - for your own trading health.

I'm not trying to be the ursine sayer of doom here, just letting you know the market's thrown us a completely fresh blizzard of dire potentials. Tougher waters still lie between us and the halving's promised horizon. But we'll get through it together, one way or another...
