Market Warning: Stocks Entering Danger Zone Amidst Crypto's Major Opportunity

About the Author: 1995 Digital Asset Research, serves actionable insights, market research, and Web 3 Tech Tutorials for informed investing. This is an excerpt from the full article, which you can find here.

Introduction

The first half of the year has been a rollercoaster for investors, with markets experiencing significant upside and relatively low volatility. The majority of investors have been stumped by the market because of the disconnect between this market and what they have experienced in the real economy.

As we approach mid-year, stocks have rallied impressively through the first half, sparking optimism among traders. However, this optimism comes with cautionary notes this month as technical indicators and time cycles suggest potential turbulence ahead.

Meanwhile, the crypto market has faced its own set of challenges, yet it now presents what appears to be a substantial buying opportunity, especially for and Ethereum and other alts. As the first half comes to a close, it's crucial to understand the signals and patterns that may shape the coming months.

Now, lets take a look at where we are starting with the S&P500.

I believe stocks may be entering a danger zone on this rally. Zooming out here to the weekly we can see the balance of time coming into effect. From the covid crash to the top was 93 weeks. We are now entering week 91 of this move. Additionally we have a bearish divergence forming on the RSI as you can see in the two black lines below. Price is making a new high while RSI is not. There is still room to move up over the next week or two but be warned we could see a correction into that August window that I have been highlighting since the beginning of the year.

If we zoom in to the daily we are also seeing warning signs.

First, we have the two nearly symmetrical moves off of the bear market low. Again another 200 points to the upside would not surprise me here as it would bring this move to 150% of the previous move and create an even bigger divergence. Additionally, getting even closer we can see a cluster of signal candles forming a double top. And finally, you can see that I have the 17th of this month marked as an anniversary date that is a very strong top date in election years.
