Katie Stockton, founder of Fairlead Strategies and technical-analysis expert, breaks down crypto charts and momentum indicators. She walks through Bitcoin’s trend reversal, Ichimoku cloud breakdown, and why extreme oversold readings do not guarantee a bottom. Short, tactical bounce signals, ETH’s setup versus BTC, liquidity-driven sharp rebounds, and using ratios to spot rotation are also discussed.

INSIGHT

Bitcoin's Uptrend Has Reversed

  • Technical indicators show Bitcoin has reversed its uptrend after breaking the Ichimoku cloud and losing long-term momentum.
  • Monthly MACD and stochastic readings point to a growing downtrend and recently reached oversold levels that historically take months to resolve.
ADVICE

Use Multiple Indicators Before Reentering

  • Wait for a weight-of-evidence signal before redeploying capital and avoid anticipating contrarian buy signals.
  • Use a combination of indicators (stochastic, MACD, DeMarc, moving averages, Ichimoku cloud) across timeframes to confirm momentum shifts.
ADVICE

Watch Oversold Retests On Weekly Charts

  • Look for an 'oversold retest' on the weekly stochastic as an intermediate-term low signal.
  • Confirm with shorter-term momentum shifts (daily stochastic/MACD) before adding exposure.
