I did a post on equity indices before the open this morning talking about the inflection point here and we are looking in essence at the same inflection point on Crypto, as historically both have tended to be significantly correlated and, as you can see on the chart below, there has been no obvious sign that is changing at the moment.

On Crypto we have a clear inflection point where there could be a break either significantly lower or back towards a retest of the recent highs and that is also the case on US equity indices. Whichever way this breaks, they will most likely break in that same direction though, if that break is into high retests on both, then that may well be part of a topping process that just delivers a similar or larger downside move to the one I am looking at today, just a bit later on.
