Bitcoin Again Bounces Off 'Cloud' Support, Resistance at $42.6K
The Ichimoku cloud has consistently acted as a support during recent market swoons.

Bitcoin defended critical price support early Monday, staving off a major technical breakdown that may have emboldened bears.
- A popular technical analysis study, the Ichimoku cloud, showed weekly support for bitcoin near $37,600, and the leading cryptocurrency overnight tumbled to right around that level before stabilizing. At last check, bitcoin had bounced back to $39,000.
- The featured image shows the cloud has consistently acted as a support in recent weeks. As such, a breakdown early today could have invited more substantial chart-driven selling pressure.
- While bitcoin has avoided the bearish scenario, for now, the cryptocurrency remains well below resistance at $42,600, defined by the past week's high.
- The long upper wicks attached to recent weekly candles imply repeated bull failure in the range of $42,600 to $45,900. As such, a convincing move above the resistance zone is needed to confirm a bull revival.
- Created by Japanese journalist Goichi Hosoda in the late 1960s, the Ichimoku cloud includes two lines – the leading span A (green line) and the leading span B (red line). Both lines are plotted 26 days ahead of the last candle to indicate future support or resistance.

Coinbase Sees Crypto Recovery Ahead as Liquidity Improves and Fed Rate Cut Odds Climb
The crypto exchange also took note of a so-called AI bubble that continues to go strong and a weaker U.S. dollar.
Ce qu'il:
- Coinbase Institutional is seeing a potential December recovery in crypto, citing improving liquidity and a shift in macroeconomic conditions that could favor risk assets like bitcoin.
- The firm's optimism is driven by rising odds of Federal Reserve rate cuts, with markets pricing in a 93% chance easing next week, and improving liquidity conditions.
- Several recent institutional developments, including Vanguard's crypto ETF policy reversal and Bank of America's greenlighting of crypto allocations, have contributed to bitcoin's rebound from recent lows.
