Ideas
Bitcoin base breakout, not overbought yet.
Bitcoin is no longer oversold but not yet overbought. Short-term momentum is very strong and intermediate-term momentum has improved off the lows. The basing phase that started in June appears completed, with the July retest behind it, and a base breakout is underway after clearing the 200-day moving average with immediate follow-through.
Gold has more upside, less durable.
Gold is different from Bitcoin because it had an intermediate-term downtrend established later. The current rally is a strong counter-trend relief rally with intermediate-term momentum behind it, so more upside is expected, but it may meet resistance and likely will not be as long-lived as Bitcoin's move because Bitcoin had a longer-term oversold reading and more prolonged down cycle.
Nvidia oversold, better earnings reaction likely.
Nvidia is short-term oversold after seven down days, which increases the likelihood of a better reaction to its earnings report. If it had come into earnings very hot, that would have been more challenging for market sentiment. Technicals do not give an edge into the earnings report itself, but the oversold setup improves the odds of a favorable reaction.
