Bitcoin and Ethereum are locked within new channels. On the positive side, the intense selling pressure observed at the beginning of the week has subsided. However, there are concerns about Bitcoin's potential for further growth, as there has been a lack of active buying above $84,000. This suggests that another significant price drop may be necessary.
After reaching a low of around $80,500, Bitcoin is currently trading at $83,000. Ethereum dipped to approximately $1,828 but was quickly bought up, leading to a recovery toward $1,861.
A positive sign comes from a Santiment report, which highlights a sharp increase in network activity for Tether, including a rise in new wallets and transaction volumes. Such activity is typically observed near local market extremes. Given the recent decline in the market, this surge in activity could indicate that traders are preparing to invest in the crypto market.
However, it's important to note that the correlation between Tether activity and subsequent market growth is not always direct. Other factors, such as macroeconomic conditions, regulatory developments, and overall trends in the crypto market, must also be taken into account.
Nonetheless, increased activity in the Tether network may serve as one indicator of a potential reversal of the bearish correction. Traders should pay attention to this signal and conduct their own research before making any decisions. While this could be an early sign of market recovery, it is risky to rely solely on one indicator.
As for the intraday trading strategy, I will focus on significant dips in Bitcoin and Ethereum, anticipating continuing the bullish trend in the medium term.
For short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are outlined below.
