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.

Bitcoin: The Golden Ratio

The price movement of BTC has several highs and lows. Timing the future is often unrealistic and many investors, who don't know math very well, stay away from a technical analysis. Often they totally ignore the power that such analysis may bring. Here is an example of BTC from Dec 2017 to March 2018. BTC is in fact following the golden ratio. If we would have known this before, we would be have been trading more effectively than we did in past. You can recreate such a map in your platform and then trace ahead the expected swings. I would advice to consider 5-10% error always due to news. As soon as this golden rule is broken like 15% error, you don't trade with this. While I am waiting for a breakout at 11.8, I thought to share this idea. Crypto Short

Bitcoin: Eyeing a Reversal Confirmation

Bitcoin is on its way to confirm the reversal pattern. Here are the series of events that happened post the longest bearish trend (50-days long). June 23 was marked as swing zone based on Fibonacci Time Extension. The next day prints a Dragonfly Doji pattern,   which is traditionally a bullish sign. Attempted a panic sell situation but the price couldn't free-fall. Instead, BTC gradually dropped below 6K. Further drop could only put the CMF or volume higher resulting in a strong bullish divergence. This was also notable on the momentum indicators such as RSI. Note that we have not see so many bullish divergences of RSI in case of BTC. We have seen two major bearish divergences near psychological levels (20k, 10k). While the Awesome Oscillator shows twin peaks with some buyers strength. Here is another daily chart with other indicators. Note the swing zone 21 and the follow-up Doji. Conclusion: It is clear that the reversal pattern might b...
