In august company
Cryptic ball: bye, bye, July.
US stocks just had their best month since 2020. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 kept pumping all day, but crypto failed to follow - perhaps because it had led the way already during the previous night. What's next for the weekend ahead then?
- Yesterday I explained that if crypto bulls failed to ignite a pump this Friday then we would likely have to wait for the Sunday close for some nice action to take place. If bulls wake up, BTC can easily test $28k and ETH the $2k mark.
- However, there's another interesting thing happening this Saturday that I forgot: the monthly close. While ether is looking to be particularly impressive and bulls have an incentive to pump it an extra 15%, I'm not sure they can.
- It's not impossible, but that would be too much action for a Saturday and bitcoin doesn't seem ready to sustain the party yet. In any case, all else should remain as explained: this bounce will continue to play out in August. Why?
- Despite being typically associated with boring times in the trading world, for obvious reasons, summer has often been a time in which degenerate enthusiasts explore and build new realms of the cryptosphere.
Yes, inflation still needs to be controlled, but such a topic should be out of people's minds during the peak of summer. Moreover, check today's chart art for some nice hopium which anticipates inflation will fall over the next months!
