A week ago I led with a chart looking at the strong correlation between SPX and BTCUSD (Bitcoin). I was talking about the big inflection point likely coming up on SPX, and SPX is in that inflection point now, at a stage where it could very much break either way, though the Fed gave bulls a big boost yesterday. Whichever way SPX breaks here, Crypto will likely follow to a significant degree.
On the Bitcoin daily chart, the daily middle band was backtested and held as support. BTCUSD has also broken back over the 50dma, and is close to a test of the 200dma currently at 63985. Bitcoin is looking a bit stretched at the moment, over the daily upper band currently at 62775, but still well short of the daily 3sd upper band currently at 65078.
