Futures on BTC and S&P500: The ratio you should considerThe main chart is the ratio between Futures on BTC and S&P500
👉 Bitcoin CME Futures contracts are equal to 5 bitcoin, as defined by the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate (BRR)
👉 E-mini S&P500 Futures contracts are equal to 50 x S&P500 Index
Special remarks
😀 The Support Area and Resistance Areas are as highlighted on the chart.
😊 Since Bitcoin CME Futures were launched in Dec, 2017, S&P500 outperforms BTC to nowadays.
😁 Bitcoin has NO BALANCE SHEET, EARNGINS AND NEVER PAY DIVIDENDS
Current state of $BTC on 1 hourr chartThis is the current state of CRYPTOCAP:BTC using a 1Hr chart.
The circles show the resistance and support levels tested.
As you can see, the support levels have been tested MUCH MORE than resistance levels.
#BTC must move away from this, support, area ASAP.
The longer it stays here the weaker the support area gets.
For example; think of it as punching holes on the floor. You punch enough holes it'll weaken and eventually you will fall.

BITO’s Bitcoin Equivalent Exposure Reaches All-Time High of 4425Cryptocurrency investors have poured money into bitcoin exchange-traded products at a record pace since BlackRock filed for a spot ETF on June 15. The latest data from K33 Research shows that in the four weeks to July 16, the Bitcoin equivalent exposure of global listed ETPs increased by 25,202 BTC (about 757 million US dollars), reaching 196,824 BTC.
This is the second-highest monthly net inflow after the launch of ProShares futures-based ETFs and other futures-based ETFs in October 2021, said Vetle Lunde of K33 Research. Additionally, ProShares’ Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) has an all-time high of 4,425 BTC in Bitcoin-equivalent exposure. BITO provides investors with Bitcoin-related returns through regulated products and holds more than $1 billion worth of CME Bitcoin futures.

BTC: Crypto Bull Market Appears to Take HoldCME: Micro BTC ( CME:MBT1! )
A month’s ago, I published a trade idea titled “S&P 500: Expensive but Not Overpriced.” The S&P index closed at 4,409.16 on June 16th, placing it at one standard deviation above the three-year mean (µ) of 4027.2 at the time.
On July 14th, the S&P settled at 4,505.42, up 100 points and +2.2% within a month. Market data has confirmed my bullish assessment. However, higher prices also mean that the index is getting more expensive now and edging closer to the “overpriced” territory.
The S&P reached its all-time high of 4796.56 on January 3rd, 2022. Current price level is just 5.7% below this record. It takes a lot to make the case for a new high. Everything needs to work out just right – inflation, employment, GDP, etc. It probably could happen somewhere down the road when the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates.
Meanwhile, there are “less expensive” financial instruments to consider if you are looking for ways to allocate your asset.
On March 29th, I issued this trade idea – “Crypto Staged a Strong Comeback in Q1”. Cryptocurrencies rebounded strongly amid turmoil in the financial markets. Bitcoin and ETH gained 71% and 39% in Q1, respectively. The main driver was flight-to-safety when a series of US bank failures shocked the financial markets.
On July 16th, BTC/USD closed at $30,394, up $2,300 since I wrote the report, and gained 83% year-to-date. While this year’s crypto rebound has been remarkable, spot bitcoin price is still -$38,395, or -55.8% off its record high of $68,789.63.
Plotting BTC and E-Mini S&P 500 futures in a 5-year timeframe, we find that both reached their all-time high in the last two years. The S&P experienced a 20% drawdown last year, driven by high inflation and Fed rate hikes. It regained 26% from its October low when the fundamentals were reversed – lower inflation and the potential of Fed Pivot.
Bitcoin followed the same general trend as the S&P but is more speculative in nature. Bitcoin rose ten times in one year, only to crush by 80 percent in the following year. Since its November low, bitcoin price has nearly doubled, but it is only halfway to its recent high.
The Crypto Market Shrugged off its Biggest Fear
In the March 29th trade idea, I expressed concern about the unique risk in the Crypto market – the failure of systemic important infrastructure that could doom the entire market.
Last year, the collapses of stablecoin terraUSD, the No. 2 crypto Exchange FTX and crypto lender Silvergate sent spot bitcoin price from FWB:67K all the way to $16K. The entire Crypto market lost $1.4 trillion in market valuation.
Last month, the SEC sanctioned the largest crypto Exchange Binance for violations of US securities laws. Bitcoin pulled back a few percentage points and then quickly recovered. Why the market reacted coolly this time around? Unlike the sudden demise of FTX, the SEC charges to Binance were well anticipated. Investors absorbed the news and took actions in an orderly fashion, escaping a market panic.
In my view, investors have regained confidence in the crypto market, following all the turmoil.
Supporting my view is Coinbase’ YTD performance ( NASDAQ:COIN ). The publicly traded US Crypto Exchange has received multiple regulatory charges and lawsuits. However, its stock is up 214% YTD. Coinbase reportedly had 108 million users in 2022, up from 56 million in 2021.
The news headlines around BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF prospects boost institutional investor sentiment, too. Last Thursday, BlackRock's application to offer a spot Bitcoin ETF has been added to the official docket of the SEC as part of its proposed rule change process.
The large investor base in both individual and institutional markets will be a big catalyst to lift bitcoin higher in a secular bull market.
Micro BTC Futures
CME Micro BTC futures (MBT) is a low-cost trading tool to participate in the crypto market. Contract notional is 1/10 of 1 BTC. Initial margin is $760. What this means is a 400% leverage built in the futures contract. At market price of $30,235 per bitcoin, the $760 margin is equivalent to about 25% of the contract notional value of $3,023.50.
Micro BTC is trading in US dollars that tracks the bitcoin price index. Both the initial investment and the returns are in dollar terms. Traders do not need to worry about the security of their Crypto wallet or forgetting their privacy key.
While investing in the CME market, investors could rest assured that their money is free from default risk and counter-party risk. In its 175-year history, there was never a case of clearing member default resulting in a loss of customer fund.
Happy trading.

Salute to readers
enough water has passed since the last article was written.
The last trade I published was unfortunately unprofitable.
6 percent licked like a cow with its tongue.
it cheered me up and made me reflect on my approach.
I didn't publish the moment of re-shoeing - it was too fast.
And the residue remained - both for me and for investors (the plus from the next deal overlapped the minus).
Still, I decided to change my approach a little and trade spot with leverage rather than messing around with futures.
still believe in the Legend of the asset) (deflationary nature and the second decade of history).
Depending on the exchange traded, I will either go into cash or open a x1 short increasing the number of coins.
Investor approach - so investor approach
Current entry - short 29625.
If yesterday could not change anything in the market behavior.
then the time of the bears is back.
albeit short-term.
RISING WEDGEToday's push has turned our consolidation pattern into a very solid rising wedge/ rising flag. The probability that this will break out to the downside is higher than to the upside, but with enough bullish momo, this pattern can be invalidated and price could spill upward.
If we breakout to the downside odds are we will find support at the yellow TL, HVN, or D1 VPOC. If this is a 'starter wave', then it could do a full retrace back to 24,700.
If we spill up, I think a fib 1.5 - 2.0 target could be achievable.
I think the probability of a downward exit from the rising pattern is the more likely outcome from this region.
If 25k does not hold, below that there is a gap from 20-22k that BTC could look to fill. Below that is the 19-20k area that has historically seen strong volume where BTC could look for support.
Mind the levels, and keep it green!
Bitcoin - Balance Amidst FUDDigital currencies are not something you should be fundamentally bullish on, because this current generation of "decentralized" tokens that are really centralized in the hands of a few co-opted developers and a number of Chinese Communist Party-linked miners and entities aren't intended to be kept.
What's intended is for a global system of Central Bank Digital Currencies to replace all existing national currencies, becoming the "One Ring." If you don't believe it, FedNow is already live and settling transactions instantly between US banks.
Another reason you should be bearish on crypto fundamentally is because it's a part of the CCP's shadow banking system used by the Triad and United Front Work Department to corrupt and bribe and fund foreign influence operations.
Xi Jinping is responsible for all of this if he fails to throw the CCP away and return to tradition.
And Bitcoin is also implicitly bloodied in the 24-year-long persecution of Falun Gong and its organ harvesting campaign conducted by now-dead former Chairman Jiang Zemin and its Shanghai (Babylon) toad faction.
Bitcoin won't be kept. If there are digital currencies in the future, it will be JP Morgan's proprietary Ethereum fork, which SWIFT itself has been piloting a layer on top of for what's coming in the future.
But since we're a ways away from that yet, there's a number of opportunities that still remain here.
I'm focusing on CME Futures because Binance and the spot exchanges don't matter. If you were around in '17 when CME/CBOE Futures launched you know everything changed literally the minute futes markets opened.
This declining trendline stuff is going to get taken out. It should get taken out pretty quick too, with CPI and FOMC pending on Tuesday and Wednesday.
And so with the dump on the news of "market makers extracting their liquidity" or whatever it was over the weekend and the Friday night dump that causes futures to re-open gapped down we have a setup.
The call is that the MM will raid the $25,000 psychological level, which takes out the June Low of the Month where long stops will be triggered.
This will take longs out of the game and prevent them from selling to buy orders around $29,000, which is where the big cowboys want to get short.
They want to get short because we're going back to $16,500, so everyone can capitulate for a few months, before the final coup de grace that has been arranged somewhere around $55,000.
So you want to keep a balanced perspective amidst this FUD surrounding Binance getting sued.
Tether won't be destroyed until Bitcoin is flirting with $50,000 again.
You get an 18%~ long opportunity to $29,000 with a 4.78 R/R if you regard the $24,000 gap to be poison, because after all these months, touching it again is probably a harbinger of doom.
And then you can use those profits to finance a stop loss for a short from $29,600~ all the way to the bottom and on a time frame that is probably two or three months at most.
What I really want to say to everyone who's been involved with crypto is this:
You need to wash your hands and practice social distancing from the Chinese Communist Party.
You need to quit the Party and make up for the bad things you've done to help that regime and its persecution of the entire human race continue all these years.
If you don't, it's not just your bank accounts that will suffer "cascading liquidation."
$BTC calls & what we expect, reiteration.We've laid out the CRYPTOCAP:BTC game plan many times. More often than not, it came into fruition and many times almost to the T.
Most recently this is what we noticed.
The week of:
June 21 we said #BTC was likely going higher. (it did)
June 30 Outside day. (still waiting on outcome)
July 7 we said down channel. (it's been slow descent)
Current we said #bitcoin is in Symmetrical Triangle. (waiting - usually continuation pattern)
---
So what do we think about CRYPTOCAP:BTC at the moment?
After the weakness we expected in early July, it should subside soon, the likeliest outcome for #BTC is higher.
Don't usually make calls, but IMO, #bitcoin will likely reach the low - mid 40k. We said this some time ago as well.
The real run, it will most likely be next year.
TVC:DXY crashing should help.
CME ETF Premium Fizzling out BlackRock Had refiled for a ETF for BTC with coinbase
But the Premium has started too fizzle
Decent ROI on a short targeting 28k if this Range POC
Acts as a Area of support too the downside
I think we could see that 28k are get hit
if spot selling occurs
29700 spot market area too watch hold
The CME Premium is coming back closer too Perp price witch is a tell tail
of risk off letting this parameter play out a Short from the 31k rejection
This morning CPI news Is a good hold too let ride down
BTC! - New long set up emerging
Held two critical milestones - 1. 200 DMA, 2. breakout level backtest at 25000.
Now might pullback from 60 VMA, but if it continues to build above, 37000 is likely on the next leg.
if it loses 25000, watch out as things might turn ugly not just for BTC, but overall market because whether you like if or not, BTC has been the canary in the coalmine. Anytime BTC has shown strength, equities have followed. Crypto might not be dead yet, but alive and kicking hard.
Disclosure: No position.
$BTC vs $TOTAL 3, broke up, made up, but what about now?CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL 3 = NO CRYPTOCAP:BTC or CRYPTOCAP:ETH

#Bitcoin futures (this dictates price action, NOT spot)
From Nov 3/22 - March 3/23.
#Altcoins traded lower in December while #BTC had already bottomed.
However, the #crypto #altcoin market quickly caught up and by early January they were trading similarly.
-------
Until...
April - May
CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL3 decoupled and the #crypto #altcoin market began to drop FASTER & MORE than, its counterpart #BTC.
SEC FUD certainly hurt BUT this happened BEFORE that news came out. We even mentioned it many times, documented!
Come June 10-15 #Altcoins began to trade alongside #Bitcoin again.
What about now?
-------
CRYPTOCAP:BTC is in CONSOLIDATION mode.
Buy volume is mediocre but as long as no heavy selling anymore, that's good.
RSI must stay above 50.
Price levels > 29.75 best to hold @ worst 28.8.
CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL3 has work to do but buys are coming in. Not heavy but hopeful.
RSI looks ok.
Weekly chart:
Highs are lower BUT it did form a higher low.
1 white line will break within next 2 months!

A lil overbought so will likely see some weakness here

Trading within the Outside Day
Bitcoin Hello, everyone! I wanted to share my thoughts on the Bitcoin market situation. It has been relatively quiet for Bitcoin in the past week, as its price has been trading within a narrow range. Typically, after such consolidations, we experience a strong impulse in one direction.
Currently, it's hard to predict where exactly this impulse will go. In such moments, it's best to follow a strategy of "preservation first." That's why I have placed a limit order in the marked zone where I can buy Bitcoin at more favorable prices if there is a decline. And if the price goes up, that's great too because I already have some Bitcoin in my portfolio.
If I add more specifics, I am leaning towards an upward move, so I won't be opening a short position (selling the asset in anticipation of further price decrease).
Feel free to leave your comments and wishes, and let's stay connected regarding the further developments in the Bitcoin market!
We await volume confirmation for the return of the saleWe await volume confirmation for the return of the sale
BTC Dip Before Rise - BITCOIN CME FUTURES GAP ANALYSISCME gap closures are a strong indicator for BTC behaviour because the formed gaps have a chance of over 90% to be closed. We should therefore always consider CME futures gaps to be closed with a very high chance.
Current situation:
We are approaching the 20K-21K gap which is close to major support around 16,5K-17,5K area.
Expect price to dip down before we might see a trend continuation. If we won't break the low - fake break out - that will be a healthy sign since we would be forming a new higher low which is good for overall bullish market structure.
First goals:
1. There is an open gap around @ 20K-21K.
2. Another gap to the upside @ 34,5K-35K.
HAPPY TRADING! <3
Russia's Ministry of Finance proposes to ban the organization ofA source familiar with the situation said that the Russian Ministry of Finance has prepared a relevant amendment to the cryptocurrency mining bill, which proposes to prohibit the organization of the circulation of cryptocurrencies, with the exception of the mining of stablecoins and cryptocurrencies. Currently, the purchase/sale, circulation and trading of cryptocurrencies are allowed in Russia, only the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment and advertisements that use cryptocurrencies for payment are prohibited.
Two security agencies opposed the Treasury's amendment. In an opinion, the Federal Security Service (FSB) said that the definition of organizing the circulation of digital currencies should exhaustively disclose all the characteristics of the process. The Commission of Inquiry (IC) believes that applying the wording proposed by the Ministry of Finance may create confusion between "prohibited circulation of organizations" and "prohibited circulation", which in turn would lead to legal uncertainty.
$BTC losing steam intraday & dailyCRYPTOCAP:BTC is losing steam, fast
Closed bunch of positions as yesterday #BTC showed weakness. This continues today.
The 4Hr is about to bear crossover, something it hasn't done since trading above June 16th.
The 1Hr chart is severely oversold so we could get a small bounce here before we continue to rollover a bit.
What about bitcoin VOLUME?
(Sorry cannot show 1Minute here. Pls see profile for more info)
That CRYPTOCAP:BTC drop on 6/30 bugged me (outside day) a bit.
There was heavy SELLS
BUT
Only decent to so-so BUYS.
However, the conviction that was there this whole ride up is now LACKING.
Just for giggles...
Spot #BTC already breaking down...
