Hello All,
Above you can find my long term outlook on BTCUSD trading pair. Still in my opinion the most import one in cryptoland.
I'm making use of 2 very basic indicators (200 MA and fibonacci):
- 200 MA is a key indicator to determine the overall long-term trend.
- Fibonacci levels can be used to indicate key support and resistance levels.
- I assume the current linear decreasing 200 MA trend will continue.
- Crossover between 200MA (estimated) trendlineand and the 100% fib retrace line from 200MA top, would be the 200 MA bottom and trend- turningpoint (2014 findings).
- Before a new bullrun starts, a horizontal movement is needed (accumulation). Based on 2014 data this range goes +-15% up and down from the 200MA bottom. This zone is marked with quick dropouts that are immediately bought up. This would Indicate (temporary) lows around 3K.
- So far the 61,8% fibonacci level from the 200 MA has served as heavy support. Every (piece of) BTC you had bought under this line could be sold at a profit at our near the 200 MA line.
- So far we hadn't an extensive parabolic sell-off during the 2018 bear market except the one at the 20k top. During the 2014 bear market I see 3-4 such events.
- The estimated 200MA bottom, based on the above assumptions is around 4000 - 4100 USD. This is also a very strong level of support that was build during the July - October 2017 period.
- This implies a trading range between 3400 - 4000 - 4600 USD for a relative long period of time where the accumulation phase will happen.
Final Words:
Keep in mind this is an attempt to predict the 200MA bottom. It's very likely that we see lower prices than 4000 - 4100 USD. As this theory suggests: potential sell-offs below 3400 are bought up very quickly and are bringing the price back in the 3400 - 4000 - 4600 USD price channel.
Shortcomings of this thesis:
- No-one can predict when a MA trend will change although with close monitoring one should be able to notice any changes in the overall 200 MA trend.
- The steepness of the 200MA curve can still change based on future events. Resulting in a shorter or longer bear market.
- Very Empirical analysis.
- Future events that may cause a forced (parabolic) sell-off are not know yet our at least not too the general public.
I'm looking forward to your feedback!
Regards,
Bavo
