BTCUSD Daily
Bitcoin took out all the resistances except one – 120.300
If it manages above it, forget all the RSI overbought situation and expectations of a sudden drop – it will just fly…
That was said last night….and flew it did
Next obstacle is at 124.560 and after it 126.700
Watching it at bigger time frames, it is possible that BTC can hit a new high and stop right there and go into correction once again.
But….if it flies above 126.700…well…picture paints somewhere around 160K as a target.

EURUSD 4h
I said last night: Close above 1.17300 would be a bullish sign
Close below 1.17150 bearish
Now EUR did not close below 1.17150, but also couldn’t reach above 1.17300
Intraday picture is slowly becoming Bullish , and close of this hour above 1.17350 would give EUR a chance to break above 1.17450 and start building the Up momentum

DRS2 – schizofrenia typically requires multiple factors and some minimum lenght of time persistence before the psycho-experts declare the presence of the affliction. Looks like the political crowd is far from their intolerance point of political pain, so the beating should continue still as “on the other hand “Stocks close at record highs as investors shake off shutdown concerns” screams cnbc’s headline
