Bitcoin Analysis
Bitcoin’s price traded back in red figures by nearly 4% on Monday and concluded its daily session -$1,192.
With the short-term and mid-term sentiment mixed amongst market participants, Bitfinext Market Analysts recently chimed in on the state of the crypto market short-term to long-term and the role of institutional capital on the digital token economy:
“The recent market volatility that we’ve witnessed is drawing increasing numbers of institutional investors into the space, especially those with an interest in derivatives. This belies the outflow that is being seen in digital token investment products indicating that interest — in bitcoin in particular — remains high. Investment from big institutions in infrastructure supporting the digital token economy continues, as evidenced by the recent investments made by Goldman Sachs and Barclays in Elwood Technologies. The icy calculation of institutional capital pours scorn on bitcoin’s critics. Today, prices across the cryptocurrency space are in the green. Regardless, this is a long-term game.”
The first chart we’re analyzing today is the BTC/USD 1D chart. That chart from MJShahsavar shows the important levels for traders of this market. BTC’s price is trading between the 1 fibonacci level [$26,496.17] and 0.786 [$29,480.66], at the time of writing.
Bullish traders really need to get back above the 0.236 for market participants to potentially flip bullish again. The barriers along the way to test that level are 0.786, 0.618 [$31,823.62], 0.5 [$33,469.27], 0.382 [$35,114.92] and then 0.236 [$37,151.06].
Conversely, bearish traders are trying to hold BTC’s price below the 0.786 fib and finally break $29k with a candle close on the weekly time frame. Below $29k is 1 [$26,496.17] which is the 12 month low per this chart.
The Fear and Greed Index is 12 Extreme Fear and is +2 from Monday’s reading of 10 Extreme Fear.

Fantom Analysis
Fantom’s price traded less than 1% down on Monday and bearish traders snapped a streak of four consecutive green candles for FTM. FTM’s price closed Monday’s trading session -$0.002.
The FTM/USDT 1D chart below from aminkz2020 illuminates how critical of a level FTM’s price is testing. FTM’s price closed just below the 23.60% fib level [$0.446] on Monday.

The downside target for bears if they can hold off bulls at the 23.60% fib level is 0.00% [$0.238]. If bearish traders can send FTM’s price back down to $0.23 for a full retracement, that would be another 46.3% decrease of FTM’s price forthcoming.
