Bitcoin Bottom - Floor has formed & the final touch

6000 - The Provisional Bottom



Bitcoin touched the bottom three times, and on the fourth time, things were different:



If 6K bottom is real, all we need is to see:

Confirmations

Daily to close above 6K on the next fall, which happened on Aug 10, 2018, when the PVT was diverging from the price.


(a) Confirmation of a close above 6K

(b) Confirmation of Price volume divergence - rally ahead. (see the figure a).

Bitcoin to maintain the higher low setup and should stay above the weekly close i.e. 6200. See the image below, which outlines a correlation between 2014-15 and 2018 in search of bottom. Notice that the 2014-15 crash defines a near double bottom event (Weekly Close Line), which was confirmed upon next corrections. It is expected that a re-test of 6200-6600 to occur in coming weeks, and if that level is held, BTC will enter in a bull market.



Finally, if we look at the monthly time frame, we see this:



You may forget 6K for a while & look at the above monthly time frame, which is a cup and handle OR a bull flag. The STOCH(7), my favorite for timely prediction, puts the 7-months averages to oversold conditions giving a false signal that the market is in a permanent bearish conditions. However, BTC has developed a higher low relative to mid 2015 whereas the STOCH itself made a lower low. This is a hidden bullish divergence relative to 7-months statistics. What does this mean? It is a continuation of the primary trend and this can be the very early beginning of the reversal pattern that I kept on mentioning since June. Trouble is that the weekly to monthly ATRs are $800-$4000 which will look wild for short-term traders. So, a $4000 move on monthly time-frame will put this to 11K otherwise 3K. Since STOCH is up, as it stands with hidden divergence, a steady rise has a likelihood as long as the higher low profile is maintained on daily.


UPDATE (Oct 17, 2018)


Here is an updated chart, so far BTC consolidates within a rectangle (5800-6800) has approached the confirmation zone. Now, if this holds, BTC will follow what we had seen earlier i.e. bull market for some months.

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 at 6K - Fourth time and again Price-Volume Aren't in Sync

This is the fourth time bitcoin is touching the 6K and has developed a near 5800 bottom. The price had a free-fall from 8500. However, when it came down to the 6K support, it behaved like it is close to a gravitational pull. Instead, it slows down. Take a look at the price and volume actions. Especially, the OBV and PVT. Both hold a key when it comes to the reversal pattern recoginition. When every one is bearish, you need to look at some out-of-box tools or utilities that can help you in defining a position. When we touch the support 4th time, it simply means that the support is weak. However, this doesn't mean that a rally cannot begin. Every one expects the bitcoin to reach 2K so that it comes a good buy. Ask yourself, will you buy it? Most probably not. Here is a capture of some key divergences: Regular Bullish Divergence against RSI OBV - Hidden Bullish Divergence Regular Bullish Divergence against PVT With these divergences in-hand one should think about accumul...

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...
