[music] >> Good afternoon everyone and welcome to my pro charts video. Today we're going to be covering crypto. My name of course is Jake Sweeney, pro trader here at Verified Investing. And today we're going to be diving into crypto and a few other coins. And great to see today with Bitcoin as oil continues to push up and the stock market kind of stalling today, kind of a choppy day. Bitcoin of on among the assets caught a nice bid today up 2%. Great day for Bitcoin. Let's get into the charts, guys, and see some key levels of resistance and support that these coins are going to have to take out coming up next. So, let's let's zoom out a little bit. As we see here, we have this down-sloping trend line from this high pivot from January 15th cutting through this price action down here and just last week we were able to confirm above a breakout out getting outside of this down-sloping trend line. Now, we came back to this trend line. We got rejected from this resistance at $65,080. We attempted that five times as you see here. So, let's zoom in today, guys. So, we we tried attempting to break out of this trend line. We were shut down. We came back to support and we had another short move into this trend line. And as you see, as these trend lines are tested several times and they're more frequent, so not being more time in between here, so the trend line can strengthen. But as you get these repeated tests here, they are bound to break to the upside. And it did. And price confirm price broke out here. It went back to this trend line here and confirmed here outside of this trend line price wanted to continue higher. And as you see here, although price got out of this trend line, the $65,080 this low pivot here has been major resistance since this breakout. Now we came back, we got rejected from this resistance level and [snorts] came back to this trend line. But boy am I happy to see we're just sharply waking into this trend line. Our candle bodies are clearing well above it. And now today having a great day from Sunday's close up today about 2.7% at our best and currently intraday uh Monday afternoon, we're about $64,310. So, for the next things for Bitcoin, I we're seeing some nice chop within side these two support and resistance levels. So, near term we have to take out the $65,080 and if we go down to the RSI, the relative strength index, this is the momentum indicator, this is just peaking above 50. So, this is gauging momentum and as we see here on the sharp move up, when we got to test that trend line and pass this resistance up to 66,000, we saw a nice push up on RSI. We're now up ticking from above 50, so it would be good to see if we can continue on higher towards 60 and 70 for the momentum index. That in hindsight, Bitcoin has plenty of room to run to the upside and plenty of buyers ready to push this thing up. So, what's next after the 65,000? Well, there is another key resistance level stacked closely. It is this 113 Fibonacci retrace. So, what I did, if you ever take this tool, you can start from this high here, from the 126,272, and drag it to near-term low, which is right here, around 57,000 735. Yeah, right here. As we're retracing back up, you could see just on this purple color how level has respected it. It's And they're not exact levels, they're more of zones, but this zone here has seen plenty of wicks into it. And now, as this level is now resistance, plenty of wicks into it on the upside. So, for Bitcoin, if we can get past the 65,080 level, the 65,000 and 479 level, and well's this pivot right here, about 65 and 1/2, we're going to have some more major resistance for Bitcoin to um to get through. To the downside, we still have this near-term low pivot at 62,525. This is some key support for for Bitcoin as yesterday and Saturday over the weekend price fell down into this trendline, into this horizontal, but was able to recover back up. So, look for those levels for Bitcoin Bitcoin for support and resistance. All right. We're going to be covering Zcash next, ZEC, also having them moving pretty good today. It's up 6% so far. And I have this wedge pattern overall here. So, we have Let's take away these right now. So, I have this ups- this upsloping trend line here from this low pivot. I didn't like this one cuz it kind of went too steep. So, I went the with this low pivot. Price fell below and reconfirm. Kissed it here, bounce, bounce, bounce, and now trading right between these two. And if we have this downsloping trend line, this one I took from the candle body, not the wicks. We can do another one from the wicks as well. Is this kind of precursing to where Zcash wouldn't should find more resistance. But for the near term and a great day today, it's starting to coil inside this wedge here. So, as it continues to coil, I I like how price here we we went down and we're making higher lows since late June. Late June and we're pushing up, getting rejected, but still making higher lows. And now we're coiling and as today, now we're looking for confirmation for tomorrow to get outside of this trend line. Key resistance here is going to be at these low pivots here that price has been struggling to get above. So, see these on these two sharp moves from support, price was able to get through it, pierce it, but it was shut down from sellers. Now, after having a great day, if we can we have to take down this 526 and 5-cent level. That'll be the next key resistance for Zcash. And then here, this top pivot and this downsloping trend line, as if price can get past this 526, there is going to be this downsloping trend line that would test. If we were to test tomorrow, that would be a 575. So, this ticker moved uh $31 today, $35 to for total. So, this can get hit near term depending on volatility for Zcash. So, look for this top pivot here at 58838 and then this down sloping trend line from these four wicks for resistance in this area. For this down sloping trend line, that would be at 57820. And like I said for this pivot top, 58838. Man oh man, look at ADA, Cardano. Just pretty much a red slippery slide as it's going all the way down. How many day This is on the daily. Maybe 10 10 days down days in a row. This thing is due for a bounce, 100%. And as we're seeing the sharp fall down into this zone, there's this key support here at 173 and change. And intraday got a slight bounce of it in now. Um but look for this key support level to hold. And hopefully tomorrow price can start inching back up to the upside. It's not going to be that easy though after all those down days in a row. First, resistance level wise, give you three. One, there's this low pivot on this wide range red bar. So, 178 600 right here where price got rejected. Um this is the level for Cardano to break. So, could push to the upside. And then more major resistance at this high red pivot from June 15th, 189788. Right here, also with these uh this low pivot here in this price consolidation, here should be some more resistance for Cardano. If price can get past this, look for and have another sharp day like this, look for this parallel channel. Going to overall we'll take away these horizontals. But for resistance overall to the upside, this had one close two three A fourth hit would be around 0.21 to 0.22, kind of depending on the day. I'll look for the upper band of this parallel channel to get tested as we did here. And to the downside, one two three broke below here, but reclaimed. Look for here about 0.1 0.166 to 167 in this range for support from this rising parallel channel. But yeah, what a shame for Cardano to continue to plumble down. At a kind of a last ditch resort, look for this 154 support level for Cardano, should this parallel channel get busted. All right, guys. Two more with me. Stay with me. We're almost there. Appreciate you guys spending your day with me. Hope your Monday has been going great so far. So, we're looking at Ethereum next. And it's also having a nice day, up about 1.75%. And we're just getting stopped from this key resistance level here. We were able to break above it but then and wick into it higher, but close below. So, for resistance for Ethereum, this 1973 low pivot here has been capping price since late of March. So, key resistance here. If we can get past this trend line, horizontal, now we have this up sloping trend line from these high pivots. One hit, two, three, four, five, and a sixth hit that pierced through, but closed well back below. So, look for a close, candle close above this horizontal 1973 level, and then that could test this up sloping trend line that's now been hit for five, six times. This is due for a test and could break. This would happen just before that $2,000 handle for Ethereum. As well as Ethereum, >> [clears throat] >> I could see we're putting in higher lows in the RSI. So, not a great sign here as we're pushing up to 70, but and we're losing momentum. We're pushing up here as we pushed up higher, but our RSI was lower. And we continue to grind lower. So, we need to push up past like the 65, 67 momentum read on the RSI. That could help Ethereum's case. To the downside, look for this up sloping trend line as support. 1 2 3 six hits right here. So, kind of making a pseudo parallel channel, but not the cleanest as for support trend line. And to the downside, if this up sloping trend line breaks, look for this low pivot here at 1836.96 for support on Ethereum. Last one we're covering today, guys, is Solana. Having a good day today, up 1.64% today. And since August since August 1st here, we broke below the support trend line and pushed above. We consolidated above the 7264 level. So, this is now support to the downside and we're respecting this up sloping trend line from this low pivot here and should So, price went to 7436 today and yesterday as well found support off this support of above this up sloping trend line, excuse me. Now, for the upside for Solana, look for this resistance here. That's when cap one, we're going to have some resistance here at 7738. That could be tomorrow's resistance should we push up. 7 7738, price the past since middle of July has been shut down from this level. So, 7738 and then 78 97. These two key resistance levels for Solana. If you can get past those, as well, we're looking at this wedge pattern with higher lows here and lower highs here in this down sloping trend line, one, two, three, fourth hit. Should price push up and get past it, it's going to test it around $80 79.99. All right, guys.
