Bitcoin and Ethereum rose over the weekend. Israel did not take any retaliatory actions against Iran, which were promised by the end of last week, preserving demand for risk assets, including in the cryptocurrency market.
Strong reports and a decrease in the unemployment rate in the U.S., along with an increase in new jobs, did not significantly affect Bitcoin and Ethereum, allowing bulls to continue building long positions. The fact that the Federal Reserve has much less reason for aggressive rate cuts could have provoked a sell-off in the cryptocurrency market. However, as you can see on the chart, this did not happen, and now only an escalation of the military conflict in the Middle East, which has not yet occurred—hopefully, it won't—could harm the upward potential, which remains relatively strong after the recent correction.
As for the intraday strategy in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to act based on any significant pullbacks in Bitcoin and Ethereum, anticipating continuing the bull market in the medium term, which has not gone anywhere.
For short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are outlined below.
