When stocks start bouncing after a strong downtrend, how do you know when it’s safe to get back in the water?
The 20-day EMA will show you the way! Here’s how…
Bitcoin moved back above the psychological support level of 30,000 yesterday, then spent the overnight session consolidating in a tight range above that level.
Now that the price of $BTC is showing a volatility contraction near the highs of its range, a breakout above the week-long consolidation may be coming soon.
In the Wagner Daily stock portfolio, we alerted members that we were buying $AFRM yesterday for a short-term swing..
$AFRM punched back through the breakout pivot after moving out above a tight consolidation:
The major indices remain in a downtrend, but the key is tracking the performance of leading stocks, rather than the major indices.
We have returned to seeing slight bulllish divergence in crypto vs. stocks.
Yesterday, the Nasdaq 100 ($QQQ) was down about 5%, but Bitcoin ($BTC) and most of the crypto market held up relatively well.
The crypto market moved lower today, prompted by a sharp sell-off in the stock market.
However, $BTC and the altcoin market showed impressive resiliance by finding support at mid-day and began edging higher.

Although stocks are in short-term bounce mode, the Nasdaq 100 remains firmly in a downtrend UNLESS the index convincingly reclaims support of its 20-day EMA on higher volume.
After the initial spike in $MKR, we waited for a substantial pullback and then entered with an ideal, low-risk entry point.
We then scaled out the next day and quickly locked in an average gain of +44% on a ONE-day hold, as Bitcoin started reversing off its low.
