Bitcoin: Are Bears Coming Back?

Something for bulls who are waiting for a long-term turn back. 

March 6, 2018 pullback was predictable through Fib Time Zone Extension, which may have +/-1 days of an error. Now this zone has been confirmed. Next swing Fib level is 13 i.e. March 26, 2018 (+/- 2 days).

Despite the major drop BTC remains bullish. Current pullback may breach through SMA150 i.e. 10391.8. This pullback should be held around the secondary strong support level (9274/9200) indicated in the chart. If failed, the next downward target will be 7826, a point where this set trend will be deflected to bearish continuation. At present, I don't see if the primary support line i.e. around 6k will be breached in coming weeks. That will be a worst scenario to happen since it will break through and the set consolidation phase will be over and a new bearish cycle will continue.

For now, the primary bullish trend ranges between SMA(100,200) channel i.e. 8256 - 13056 (min, max).

In this 1D chart below, you can see the main SMA Channel (semi transparent blue zone), which remains bullish looking over 100, 200 days. The current pullback (March 6, 2018) has breached through the median line of this trend & remains close to the SMA150 line (middle of the channel). These median lines define the major support/resistance for this trend. The parallel channel for coming weeks (future) is plotted to annotated the scenarios highlighted above. Note that the 0.5 line (NE-SW, green) of this trend meets the strong support level (9200), indicating a swing at this junction.


Update March 08, 2018

How predictable this was! Here is a chart post my update. The trend was in fact followed and now we await a bounce back that may happen. If not, then things can go worse & opening longs would be very risky. See my following post.

Bitcoin (March 18-30): Integrated Gann Fan Analysis & Trades

https://invst.ly/6-gn0 In this chart you can clearly see how the time & price are related when the fall happens in early Gann angles (1/8 to 1/2) & then the price pulls back as a bear flag & then takes time until it reaches the Gann 1/1 (45deg angle). That severs as a resistance and the price moves along this line until it completes the correction cycle i.e. ABC. Then the price breaks out and results in a swing i.e. bull run since it is over 45 degrees & chances are greater that BTC will either move sideways or do a bull run. Based on this, I decided to go long.

Timing a Bitcoin Event

Here are some screenshots for timing a bitcoin event: I used Fibonacci Time Zone to predict a price swing. As the time stretches, the prediction may go less certain since news, trends, and market holds change, a point where you throw away the old trend curve and place a new one as per new set trend. Note:  Fibonacci time prediction is only used to locate a time with +/- relative error for a price swing. It doesn't tell what type of swing do you expect. That should be done by balancing  this observation with other technical parameters. Proven Bitcoin Major Trend Reversal (1D) Here are my predictions for timing BTC swings. The image below is a capture of March 7 event where a major price swing may happen. See the subsequent chart for confirmation & what happens next. Tip: To look at these charts, follow the vertical blue lines, which point a major price swing around (+/-1 day). As the time progresses, the error increases. Minor Trend Reversal ...

Bitcoin Arrives at the Next Swing Zone (Oct 18): A Major Move with 6 Months Long Trend Ahead

Throughout the year, I have been following just one Fibonacci time zone prediction that worked very well. Whenever BTC arrived closer to these zones, something has to happen for some reasons: (a) Previous trend was losing steam (b) Extended cosolidation June 24 was the best example though when BTC closed below support (6K) & recovered in the following day. Thus, the swing zone prediction worked very well and the declining trend put a rally that gave significant profits. The rally failed an till Oct 18, the zone held the support & never closed above 6135 (on GDAX). If you see my previous analysis, whenever BTC lands on the support, I kept on finding evidences of volume/momentum divergences. What do we see now is that BTC holds the support with regular and hidden divergences against the volume and momentum indicators. Recent events, drop on Oct 11 to 6135 & breakout on Oct 15 of 6800 both turned fake. Here is a chart annotating the four fake drops, which held the ...
