BNB, DOGE, ADA, and SOL rose 3% to 4% after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Trump’s global tariffs, while Bitcoin stayed mostly flat. A fresh MACD crossover on the Others/BTC chart is drawing attention to whether this altcoin rotation can continue.
Bitcoin’s MACD histogram has slipped below zero again, marking the third bearish momentum signal since the post-October peak. The previous two signals were followed by sharp declines, while bullish turns led only to weak rebounds.
CryptoComLearn breaks down how MACD works in crypto trading, covering its structure, key signals, settings, risk controls, and the mistakes traders often make.
ZEC rose 1.61% to $264.51, backed by a MACD golden cross and neutral RSI. Cypherpunk Holdings holds ~2% of circulating supply, while Reliance Global Group shifted capital from BTC/XRP/ETH into ZEC. Despite extreme fear (Fear & Greed at 9), short-term momentum and privacy narrative support the rally.
Eric Krown, a former NYSE Arca options market maker and now a full-time crypto trader, used a Crypto Banter interview to lay out a multi-signal checklist for identifying a potential macro bottom in Bitcoin. Rather than relying on a single price target, he pointed to a cluster of higher-timeframe indicators that are converging in a narrow window. His first threshold is a monthly close above $63,735, the level tied to Bitcoin’s 55-month exponential moving average. He also highlighted a stochastic trigger at $64,371, monthly MACD momentum easing, an RSI reading near or below prior cycle lows, a recurring 168-day lag from a biweekly MACD histogram signal to the final price low, and an LTI model that has historically marked bottoms after roughly 20% to 23% additional downside. In this cycle, that LTI drawdown has reached 22.64% since a strong buy signal in January 2026. Krown said that if Bitcoin closes the month above the cited levels, his confidence that a macro bottom is forming rises to about 85%. He also pointed to fear and greed readings that stayed below 20 for two to three months and now sit at 28, a backdrop he said matched prior macro lows in 2015, 2019 and 2022. Beyond crypto, the discussion also covered sector rotation in equities, his view that semiconductors have peaked short term, and his technical outlook for gold, silver and copper.
Ethereum has printed a weekly MACD bullish crossover, a signal that previously preceded gains of 130%, 74%, and 98%. Analysts say the setup is constructive, but macro conditions and market sentiment still matter.
On Jan. 29, Bitcoin traded between $41,735 and $42,479, dipping below $42k. RSI, Stochastics neutral but MACD suggests upside. Short-term MAs bullish, longer-term MAs bearish, creating a complex landscape for traders.
