With the stock market rising more than 7% from its 2022 lows, cryptocurrencies also enjoy a time of relief. However, so far, Bitcoin's reaction has been relatively muted compared to U.S. market indices, reflecting a hesitation among market participants and their lack of appetite for risk assets.
We believe the current bounce-up in the price is once again merely “a rally” in disguise. In accordance with that, we expect the market sentiment to turn irrationally bullish for the short term, with many analysts rushing to forecast the market bottom and trend reversal on every front.
This phenomenon will further highlight the characteristic bear market instability in behavior and opinions among investors. However, we expect these same people to realize in early November 2022 that the FED is still pursuing its tightening path and not backing down, sparking panic and subsequent selling.
Despite that, in the short-term, we will pay close attention to the sloping resistance, price action, and volume. A breakout above the sloping resistance will bolster the bullish case in the short term; however, we do not expect it to impact the primary trend.
Therefore, we think there is no point in backtracking on our price targets of 17 500 USD and 15 000 USD. Moreover, our views are supported by fundamental factors concerning global recession, high inflation combined with economic tightening, and geopolitical issues.

We highlight similarities in the price structure between BTCUSD and XRPUSD.
Indeed, we believe that XRPUSD is "frontrunning" (with this decline) other cryptocurrencies, which will follow soon in its footsteps.
