Hi guys, wanted to give a quick update as I am seeing several things that are currently changing my mind on the short-term movement of Bitcoin.
As you know, I have been very bearish the past 2 weeks and called for a short around $8,700. I was convinced we would get to at least the 6.2k range until 7.5k failed to break for a third time.
What I’ve noticed is the formation of a double bottom on the 4 hour.
This failure to break 7.5k once again coincides with bullish divergences on the RSI and MACD. Though the price didn’t make a lower low, clearly the indicators are showing bullish momentum picking up.
On top of that, take a look at volume on that last drop down towards 7.5k. The volume was very low and the movement down was extremely weak.
That was not the move I was looking for to confirm a bearish continuation down to 6.2k, I was expecting a sharp sudden move with high volume. We didn’t get that yet, and each time we go to 7.5k, there's just no conviction.
So now my picture has changed a bit, and I think it’s very possible we move up to 8.7k again. However, we need the neckline around 8,100-8,200 to break in order to see that move happen.
This price zone is very strong and the bears are defending it quite well.
If we cannot break that resistance zone above, then price must just range for a bit before we get a better idea of where the price is going.
Also, just to be clear, I am still bearish overall on Bitcoin as we have many bearish signs on the higher time frames. Since this analysis is being done on the 4 hour time frame, it is suggesting a short-term move up then back down as long as the bearish sentiment is still intact. If we do get a move up (especially back towards the highs), I will re-assess things at that level and see if my overall bigger picture is compromised at all.
Thanks for reading, please like if you found this idea useful!
