Couple of thoughts on where we might find a bounce. - Author: wizardfromspace - Tags: Crypto News, Crypto Trading, Bitcoin, Ethereum, defi, KP3R, Curve Finance Bitcoin printed a lower-lower on the weekly timeframe, breaking market structure.

Not that I'm expecting BTC to just roll over immediately, we're seeing some signs of seller exhaustion and possibly a green weekend.

We could very well range between 37k-43k for some time, before making a dive lower. Perhaps something like this? ![](https://dexplain.com/content/images/2022/01/idea.png) Altcoins? Well, many of the popular alts have never even seen a bear market before, if BTC finds acceptance under 40k, then they will get absolutely smashed. --- **Where have you been?** And as you can see the newsletter hiatus is over.
