Technically Speaking – February 26, 2024

Bitcoin hit $54,000, bla bla bla, and Ethereum hit $3,200. Yes, that’s awesome, but if you’re like me, I want to know what hasn’t moved yet or is about to break out or, even more importantly, what might be hitting some profit-taking/reversal zones. 💡

YFIUSD Daily Chart – Click to enlarge.

If you want to go dumpster diving for treasure, this might be one. On Saturday, $YFI looked poised to complete the first Ideal Bullish Ichimoku Breakout on the daily chart since October 23, 2023. However, it failed to close above the Tenkan-Sen. 

Yesterday, the same thing happened. Bulls are likely looking for anything close above the daily Tenkan-Sen, but because of a strong confluence zone of Fibonacci levels in the $8,441 value area, above that might be more attractive. Also, note the Kumo Twist that occurs between March 16 and 17. If YFI is trending strongly around that date, look for a change in direction. 🔦

MINAUSD Daily Chart – Click to enlarge.

$MINA‘s daily chart shows a great example of a developing continuation move. The only thing missing is a daily close above the Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen. 

The Composite Index has crossed above its fast average, and if the momentum continues, it will move above its slow average as well – all of this after developing a hidden bullish divergence. 

Additionally, the Detrended Price Oscillator’s angle suggests it’s about to cross above the zero line. Confirmation is key, and things only look good if bulls can pull off a close at or above $1.344. 

Upside potential may be limited to a prior resistance area near $1.54. #️⃣

It’s easy to forget that this monster of a mover gained $2,880% and was 2023’s best performer. It’s easy to forget because $INJ‘s been in a long consolidation zone since Christmas. 

INJ is positioned perfectly for an Ideal Bullish Ichimoku Breakout – I mean it’s one of the most perfect setups you can find. However, the same thing happened on February 18, but without any follow-through from buyers. 

Will this time be any different? The proximity to the Kumo Twist suggests the answer is: yes. Complimenting the price action on any confirmed close at or above $36.63 are the Composite Index and Detrended Price oscillators, which would support any strong breakout. 👍

One Way To Use Stocktwits’ Social Data Tools

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘volume precedes price’? It’s an old-school technical analysis 101 maxim. For example, if an instrument is in a downtrend but then you start to see volume tick up, the theory is that price will follow the volume. 🧑‍🎓

It’s what technical analysts call a leading indicator—a heads-up or a warning that the probability of change is high and that it might happen soon. Analysts and traders might apply that principle (volume precedes price) to the Stocktwits Social Data.

February Was Amazing

Historically, $BTC usually closes in the green in February. 2024’s Feb close brings the score to eleven bullish closes vs. three bearish closes since 2011. 👍

However, despite the high number of bullish closes for February, its average performance is very ‘meh.’ But not this year.
