$HIVE, $BTC & ETH/BTC Technical Analysis - 28.12.2025

in LeoFinance4 months ago

This week I was thinking, next week I can post about the yearly time frame, a chart that I've never shared here on Hive, because I started posting these analysis only this year (I think, but I'm not sure 😬). Without checking in advance, kinda have an idea how it's going to look, but let's wait till the candle close and talk after. Till then, let's see what we get today.

On the monthly time frame, even though the candle only closes in three and a half days, we still have a bearish price action. So far we have a bearish candle with a very small body. The levels to watch are still the same, all time low on the downside, at $0.0327 and the bearish gap on the upside, marked with yellow, which means internal liquidity, but also resistance. If this gap is rebalanced and inverted, meaning price manages to close above it and hold, the next levels to watch on the upside are $0.2821 and $0.3006.

The weekly candle, at the time of writing, looks a bit more promising. Last week we saw $HIVE in free fall, this week, so far, we have a bullish candle with a nice sized body, but an upside wick as long as the body as well. There are still 10 hours to go till the candle close, anything can happen, but at least we have price above the weekly open. $0.1429 is the level to watch on the upside and ATL on the downside, if there will be weakness.

On the daily time frame, price had a run to the upside today and swept liquidity till the $0.1214 level. There was not enough buying pressure to keep price at, or close to that level, so at the time of writing, $HIVE is trading at $0.1028 and we don't know where the current candle is going to close. This spike left a big upside wick, which is not easy to trade.

At the time of writing, price is slightly above the bearish gap (marked with yellow) on the chart. I don't like to speculate as market analysis is about analyzing facts, so I'm going to just say, if price manages to close above the gap and hold, that gap becomes support. If not, then it still acts like resistance. In order for a bullish OB to be confirmed, price needs to close above $0.0954. Today's candle close is important.

The h4 time frame chart looks interesting. There you have the drawing I made on the 18th (green arrow) and the second one on the 20th (purple). Price is following that rout so far, but let's see where we are at the moment.

So this morning price had a run to the upside and swept liquidity on the upside till $0.1214 and reversed. At the time of writing, price is retesting and rebalancing the big bullish gap created on the buy side, which it the top one, below there are another two. If the current gap can't hold price, there's a chance to retest the other two gaps as well. time will tell. In case we get a reversal here at some point, the swing high at $0.1214 would be my upside target and the balanced price range (BPR), which can represent resistance.

It's the end of the month, end of Q4 and end of the year as well, so trading is tricky, so be careful.

BTC has been ranging lately, yesterday price managed to close above mid-range.

ETH/BTC

After a short rally to the upside, price came back and retested the bullish gap again, that has been holding price since November, bounced off on the 18th of this month and it is below mid-range.

I'm surprised to see we have two events in the economic calendar next week.

Next week is the last week of the year, so be careful if you're trading. I personally am not, as December is the most difficult month to trade and I have no desire to end each day frustrated, because no strategy is working anymore. Patience gets rewarded in this game.

Remember, technical analysis is not about forecasting price, but about reacting to what price does.

As always, this is a game of probabilities, not certainties. Also please note, this is not financial advice, it's my view and understanding of the market.

Hello, are you a trader? I have many questions. The projections you indicate with arrows, in the price of hive, are based on what? What are the fundamentals?

Yes, I am a trader.

No fundamentals, this is technical analysis. You can find the explanation in my last week's technical analysis post here.

Thank you very much for responding. I am not a trader, but I am learning about the subject. From what you have shown, I understand that your projection is based on technical analysis. Is the indicator the SMC? What style? As I said, there are many things I do not understand, but my question is: how can the price suddenly move like it did today? With a 25% increase, that is, you need purchase volume, how do you anticipate that? I was looking at the orders in the book shown on Binance. And what you see are blocks of supply and demand, however, that does not strongly indicate to me that the price reacts to those areas. That is, I don't understand. Does the price move for something other than supply and demand? Let me explain, I'm just asking. I just want to learn. Otherwise, I agree with your analysis and projections. But I still have a lot to learn. Can you explain it to me? And sorry.

Is the indicator the SMC? What style?

No indicator used there, it was just what I thought might happen. I don't use indicators as you can't trust them completely.

how can the price suddenly move like it did today?

$HIVE is quite an illiquid asset and a slightly bigger order can create a spike like that. It can trigger stops and create a cascade, which pushes price higher or lower, quite a lot. As you can see, price has almost retraced since then, as there was not enough buying pressure to hold price at that level.

With a 25% increase, that is, you need purchase volume, how do you anticipate that?

You don't as no one knows where price is going to go, but you have to know how to react in each situation, this is why we have 3 scenarios most of the times. I drew that on my chart as I was hoping to get that, but you need to know your levels and know when to enter, when you get your confirmation and when your idea is invalidated.

Congrats for taking interest in trading and good luck with learning. It requires a lot of time spent in front of the screen, learning, testing, backtesting, but you'll get there.

Thank you very much for your response.

I understand that an indicator does not determine the projection; it is information or arguments that show you the big picture. However, I ask you this because I see in your charts that there are FVG and liquidity zones, which you extract from an indicator.

I also realize that there is little liquidity in hive, and your response confirms that. It also means that it is exposed to this volatility; the slightest increase in volume will cause the price to move.

On the other hand, thank you for emphasizing the importance of having a plan. I am learning that this is fundamental. In fact, I do not trade because I do not have a plan, but I am enjoying the dynamics of the markets, reading the movements from an analytical, mathematical, and statistical perspective, and building a strategy and a plan.

Thank you very much for your support and optimism. Thank you very much. God bless you.

However, I ask you this because I see in your charts that there are FVG and liquidity zones, which you extract from an indicator.

I don't, I draw those myself. If you need an indicator to draw FVGs on your chart, then you're not a trader :)

You're welcome and good luck with your studies. It takes time and testing, to get a profitable strategy, but worth the work that goes into it.

God bless you too!

Excellent, thank you very much.

That pump was promising; if we keep the support, we should be good. (If)
December-Feb, something to DCA more than trading. :D

It may look promising, but if you look back, study historical data, those pumps are hardly ever sustainable. Most of them are just pumps and price is going back to where it was before the pump. A mot of these pumps used to happen during Asia.

December-Feb, something to DCA more than trading. :D

It depends on your plans, but you have to separate long term holding and trading.

Right, erikah. Comes along from the Asia, and those come as a fake breakout. Falling significantly before touching prev high. And, the the inflation has become a part of the game. We all are zoned to accumulate.
I am more DCAing in the other Layer 1 as well. Always been a believer, cant get away with that.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a fake breakout, it depends on what time frame you're looking at. On LTF, it was a really good run. On HTF it looks like a fakeout.

Those who are on the chain for years obviously are accumulating, but some are trading too. Although it's a crazy asset, maybe the craziest 😆

Something like picking up the mushrooms. It’s everywhere. But, I want the magic one🤣

But, I want the magic one🤣

Good luck with that! 😂
