The Candy Sixteen Whole Technical Rating or “SSTTR” fell final week to 585.5 which was a 8.80% drop from the earlier weeks studying of 642 which was the best studying since December of final 12 months.
Final week solely two of the Crypto Candy Sixteen TRs rose, two had been unchanged, and fourteen fell (9 of which had double-digit TR positive factors) vs. the week earlier than when all sixteen of the Crypto Candy Sixteen TRs rose, with 9 marking double-digit positive factors.

The earlier week fourteen TRs had been within the “inexperienced zone” (TRs between 35 and 50), and two had been within the “blue zone” (TRs between 15.5 and 34.5).

Within the higher left nook of every of the person ratio line charts I’ve positioned coloured circles, inexperienced with an up arrow, blue with a sideways arrow, and pink with a down arrow that displays the present state of relative energy or weak point.
*Friday August 1st to Friday August fifteenth
Seven of Crypto Currencies I monitor gained absolute floor over the previous seven days vs. the week earlier than when all of the Candy Sixteen had been up on an absolute foundation (twelve registered double-digit share positive factors that week) The seven-day common absolute worth achieve was +1.78% (with out the outsized positive factors in ADA and ETH -0.13%) vs. a +13.01% common achieve two weeks in the past. Each weekly averages exclude the 2 Indexes.
*The Technical Situation Elements are utilized within the calculation of the Particular person Crypto Currencies Technical Rankings. What’s proven within the excel panel beneath is the overall TCFs of all sixteen TRs. A couple of TCFs carry extra weight than the others, such because the Weekly Pattern Issue and the Weekly Momentum Consider compiling every particular person TR of every of the 16 Cryptocurrencies. Due to that, the excel sheet beneath calculates every issue’s weekly studying as a share of the attainable whole.
A full clarification of my Technical Situation Elements go to www.themarketscompass.com. Then go to the MC’s Technical Indicators and choose Crypto Candy 16.
The Each day Momentum Technical Situation Issue or “DMTCF” fell again barely to 53.57% or 60 out of a attainable 112 final week from the studying of 58.93% or 66 the earlier week.
As a affirmation instrument, if all eight TCFs enhance on every week over week foundation, extra of the 16 Cryptocurrencies are bettering internally on a technical foundation, confirming a broader market transfer greater (consider an advance/decline calculation). Conversely, if extra of the TCFs fall on every week over week foundation, extra of the “Cryptos” are deteriorating on a technical foundation confirming the broader market transfer decrease. Final week all six TCFs felland two moved greater.
For a clarification on how you can interpret the Candy Sixteen Whole Technical Rating or “SSTTR” vs the weekly worth chart of the CCi30 Index within the decrease panel, go to www.themarketscompass.com. Then go to the MC’s Technical Indicators and choose Crypto Candy 16. A short clarification follows…
The Candy Sixteen Whole Technical Rating (“SSTTR”) Indicator (backside panel within the chart beneath) is a complete of all 16 Cryptocurrency Particular person Technical Rankings and may be checked out as a affirmation/divergence indicator in addition to an overbought / oversold indicator.
After struggling to overhaul Median Line (violet dotted line) of the Schiff Modified Pitchfork (violet P1 by means of P3) for 4 weeks the CCi30 Index cleared that hurdle and held newly minted help there by the tip of the week. MACD continues to climb greater above its sign line in optimistic territory and the shorter-term Stochastic Momentum Index held its sign line is monitoring greater once more. After seeing the blended absolute positive factors and losses final week within the Candy Sixteen, a pullback within the Whole Technical Rating is just not a shock. If the Index can maintain tentative help on the Median Line, there’s a higher than even probability that it’s going to simply problem the Higher Parallel (stable gold line) of the longer-term Normal Pitchfork (gold P1 by means of P3). Key help stays on the 19,590 degree.
After the CCi30 Index overtook the Higher Parallel (stable violet line) of the Schiff Modified Pitchfork (violet P1 by means of P3) a quick interval of backing and filling unfolded till early final week. On Wednesday the broad-based index rallied and closed at a brand new every day closing excessive. On Thursday a pointy reversal unfolded main me to attract a brand new shorter-term Schiff Pitchfork from the intra-day excessive. I selected that variation of pitchfork after a lookback to June and July when on a closing foundation, costs held a sliding parallel (gold SP) that was on the similar vector of the brand new pitchfork. Thursday’s reversal bounced off the Median Line (gold dotted line) and the Tenkan Plot (pink line). The Candy Sixteen Each day Momentum / Breadth Oscillator has edged beneath the shorter-term transferring common (pink line) but it surely stays above the longer-term 45-day exponential transferring common. It’s stunning that the Stochastic Momentum Index has fallen from being overbought throughout Thursday’s worth weak point however MCD to nonetheless monitoring quietly greater above its sign in optimistic territory. Holding Median Line help and the Kijun Plot (inexperienced line) is essential to any bullish argument.
The typical absolute achieve YTD within the Candy Sixteen is now up 2.20%, up from the earlier week’s common YTD achieve of 1.60% and up from a YTD common decline of -11.09% three weeks in the past.
