A popular analyst is digging into the charts to set price targets for six crypto assets as the markets try to end the week on a bright note.<\/p>\n
Pseudonymous crypto trader Altcoin Sherpa tells his 180,100 Twitter followers hes looking at the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) for Bitcoin (BTC) on four-hour candles to plot out both short-term highs and lows.<\/p>\n
The crypto strategist also says that while Bitcoin has managed to establish a near-term range, he does not believe that the bear market bottom is in for BTC.<\/p>\n
I think that the top of range makes sense at this point, eyeing $21,600 and $22,000 as of now.<\/p>\n
Still doubtful this is the macro bottom but its a very strong tradeable event. Taking profits higher where the 200 EMA four-hour is.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin is currently up by 1.5% over the last 24 hours, changing hands for $20,693.<\/p>\n
Moving on to leading smart contract platform Ethereum (ETH), Altcoin Sherpa again utilizes the 200-day EMA metric to establish a price fluctuation zone of $1,013 to $1,283 while cautioning that ETH could fall to as low as $850 before the next big rally.<\/p>\n
Idea [ETH] goes to the highs\/hits resistance at 200 EMA four-hour and then back to the lows.<\/p>\n
Could even go as low as $850 before springing higher. NOT the bottom yet though [in my opinion].<\/p>\n
Ethereum is up by 2.33% on the day, priced at $1,217.<\/p>\n
Regarding enterprise-grade blockchain platform Fantom (FTM), the crypto analyst doesnt have high hopes but thinks FTM could at least reach the mid-point of its current trading range.<\/p>\n
I havent looked at this shitcoin in a while. I wouldnt be surprised to see this grind up to the [equilibrium] of the range around $0.32.<\/p>\n
Its still super bearish though overall.<\/p>\n
At time of writing, Fantom is valued at $0.25.<\/p>\n
Next on the analysts radar is Ethereum competitor Solana (SOL). He says hes planning to fully exit his positions if SOL can work its way up to $42.<\/p>\n
Im 1\/3rd out of this position, took this one and entered at $34.<\/p>\n
I think this can make its way to the top of the range at $42, where Ill be mostly all out at that time.<\/p>\n
Solana is rallying nicely off its weekly lows in the $32 range and is currently trading at $37.01.<\/p>\n
As for cross-chain interoperability protocol Polkadot (DOT), Altcoin Sherpa believes the bottom still isnt in despite DOT pushing steadily downward since April.<\/p>\n
I dont think this is accumulation quite yet but this is always really hard to see in real time. Chop around here another few weeks and I could maybe see it being the bottom.<\/p>\n
Until then, Im going to assume $5 is coming.<\/p>\n
Polkadot is currently changing hands for $6.74.<\/p>\n
Last on the traders list is lending and borrowing protocol Aave (AAVE), which he predicts is due for a significant leg down before any rally could take place.<\/p>\n
I think that the cluster of EMAs could be a decent entry around the mid-$70s ($75ish) if youre playing the lower timeframes.<\/p>\n
It looks bullish on the four-hour but still pretty bearish on the one-day\/higher timeframes.<\/p>\n
Id probably look to short low-$100s if\/when it gets there.<\/p>\n
Currently, Aave is down over 4% on the day with a price of $88.85.<\/p>\n
