Crypto is heavily tied to the TradFi markets so let's kick the week off with the S&P500 as we close in on a critical area of resistance and have made a steady recovery from the June lows with what looks like more room to run on the RSI before a potential pull back.The broader market sentiment looks to be growing in confidence which is what we want to see. As the saying goes "a slow moon is the best moon."Bulls vs Bears, this week will be an interesting one to see who will win this short-term battle at the 4200 marker. Break and retest could see us head back up to 4400 or first we pop back down to revisit the 4000
