Conflicting Signals: The Big Difference Between Bitcoin And Crypto Charts

2023-3-2 03:43

Recent comments from SEC chair Gary Gensler suggest that Bitcoin is the only crypto asset that isn’t a security. Yet for whatever reason, the TOTAL crypto market cap chart is giving a bullish signal, while the BTCUSD chart remains decidedly bearish. 

Let’s take a closer look at these conflicting signals firing across the crypto market and what it could possibly mean. 

50/50: Breaking Down The Bearish Or Bullish Signals

Last night, the February monthly candle came to a close, providing fresh data for technical analysts to review. Technical indicators use the data in a their calculations, which are also updated the moment a new monthly candle opens on the chart. 

Upon scanning the monthly price charts of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and dozens of other cryptocurrencies, a noticeable discrepancy exists between the BTCUSD one-month chart and the TOTAL crypto market cap chart on the same timeframe. 

Turning on the 50-month moving average, Bitcoin closed its second month below the key resistance level. Meanwhile, the TOTAL crypto chart has spent the last two months above the same level. Price action holding above it could result in a sustained recovery. 

It isn’t just the 50-month moving average showing the conflicting signals. The BTCUSD monthly Ichimoku closed through the cloud, while the TOTAL crypto chart isn’t even near the cloud yet. 

Bitcoin, Not Crypto: A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats

The reason for the discrepancy in price charts is due to the strong performance in small cap altcoins. Many of these less liquid coins have pushed well above their 50-month moving average, giving an edge to the TOTAL crypto chart. 

The TOTAL crypto market cap chart is an aggregate created by TradingView, pulling price data from thousands of crypto assets trading on the platform. The exact number of coins aggregated is unknown, and may or may not reflect the accurate size of the rapidly growing market. 

Bitcoin, on the other-hand is simply one asset, making its chart signals much more clear and actionable. The top cryptocurrency also has the ability to move the entire market, taking the wind out of any soaring altcoin rallies or saving them from the brink of extinction. 

Watching the Bitcoin chart for the all clear sign is a safer bet, but the TOTAL crypto market cap being a more sensitive aggregate of price action could provide an early taste of what’s to come. Will BTCUSD follow suit and strengthen the broader crypto recovery?
