Daily Pump & Dump | May 31, 2022 Crypto Market Report

The daily pump & dump is a weekday update on the crypto market providing you with an abbreviated breakdown of price action related to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other trending altcoins. 

Today’s summary:

  • Bitcoin reclaims $30,000 over memorial day weekend
  • How Ethereum could lose its head against BTC
  • What’s going on with Cardano?
Bitcoin Makes Memorial Day Weekend Memorable

Over the US Memorial Day holiday, bulls took advantage of thin order books and low volume, pushing the price per BTC to more than $31,500 at close. Of note, the daily candle closed above the upper Bollinger Band. Bulls must stampede with high volume within the next 24 hours or are at risk of a pullback to at minimum the middle-SMA at around $29,766.

A strong close above $32,000 could lead to continuation to targets between $34,000 and $38,000. Tonight is also the monthly close for BTCUSD. A close above $29,000 should keep the top cryptocurrency well above support, while closing above $33,000 would be a healthier sign of further recovery ahead.

Ethereum Losing Its Head (And Shoulders) Against BTC

The LUNA debacle has significantly hurt altcoin sentiment. The associated selloff and panic took many top altcoins down by 80-90% across the board. Ethereum held up well by comparison to other altcoins, dropping only 64%. Bitcoin fell 62% in total.

The long-running outperformance on the ETHBTC trading pair could soon swing further in favor of the top cryptocurrency as BTC dominance strengthens. The ETHBTC trading pair also appears to exhibit a head and shoulders pattern at risk of confirmation and further breakdown. The target would be close to the 0.04 level.

Cardano Surges 40% In 48 Hours, But Why?

Knife-catching is never a recommended strategy, yet traders everywhere are regularly tempted by this high-risk technique. The reason is because there can be significant reward for getting it right. Cardano has been substantially oversold, falling a full 87% from over $3 to the 30-cent range.

Because the altcoin was hit particularly hard, it now represents a strong risk versus reward setup. Bulls who missed their chance on the way up the last time around, could see another 8x if the altcoin revisits prices set late last year.

Although the reward is high, so is the risk. During the 2018 bear market, after plummeting 90%, ADA then crashed another 78%. On Black Thursday, ADA reached one-cent.

I Stand By My $100,000 Bitcoin Price Target, Anthony Scaramucci

Anthony Scaramucci has again reiterated his stand on why he thinks bitcoin will still hit the $100,000 price target he had earlier set. Scaramucci had put forth this forecast when he was on Yahoo! Finance earlier in the year. The founder explained that bitcoin could easily be trading at $100,000 in 12 months. Anthony Scaramucci who founded Skybridge Capital in 2005 has not always been bullish on bitcoin. But has slowly come around over the years and has now gotten into bitcoin. The CEO believes that more and more funds will get into bitcoin as time passes. His message to other money managers had been that he believed the performance of their funds will eventually be benched off of bitcoin.
