Shorts Liquidations All Over

The percentage of liquidations across crypto derivative platforms is staggering. Take a look 👀

CoinGlass Liquidations

STOCKTWITS
Community & Sentiment

Great $BTC chart here by Stocktwits user @SunAndStorm! 👍

There are some Stocktwits community members who use the Social and Sentiment Data as a powerful tool in their analysis and traders/investors toolbox.

Stocktwits’ Bitcoin Sentiment Data

In Bitcoin’s case, the interpretation is that because Sentiment is down and Message Volume is lower, but prices are rising, both Sentiment and Message Volume will likely catch up to price and add more momentum to Bitcoin’s already strong rally. 🟩

TRADING
Technically Speaking

In last Friday’s Litepaper, we examined five charts showing signs of imminent breakouts: $DOGE, $LINK, $ALGO, $ICP, and $FET.

At the time of writing, DOGE is up +13.85%, ALGO +5.09%, and ICP +13.63%. While LINK and FET are up, LINK hasn’t entered the bulls’ entry zone, and FET is testing its entry zone today.

Let’s look at some others:

The Sandbox

SANDUSD Daily Chart - Click to enlarge.

Bulls are waiting for a daily close that puts the Chikou Span in open space - a condition where the Chikou Span won’t intercept the body of any candlestick over the next five to ten periods. If $SAND can pull off a daily close at or above $0.691 would fulfill what bulls are looking for.

Coti

COTIUSD Daily Chart - Click to enlarge.

Like SAND’s daily chart, $COTI’s daily chart shows it creeping toward a bullish breakout and a possible resumption of the uptrend. A daily close at or above $0.253 would put the Chikou Span in open space and fulfill what many Ichimoku analysts and traders are waiting for.

Ocean Protocol

OCEANUSD Daily Chart - Click to enlarge.

$OCEAN is one of the big AI plays in crypto right now. And Ocean’s daily chart needs the same Ichimoku condition to occur before bulls might dive in: the Chikou Span in open space. A close above $1.183 would fulfill the open space requirement.
