bitcoin Price Analysis

This week, bitcoin price overcame all hurdles and rallied above $6,000 and $6,200 against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair gained bullish momentum after it settled above $6,100 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Recently, it broke a bullish flag pattern with resistance near $6,040 on the hourly chart to start a strong upward move. As a result, the bulls pushed the price above the $6,250 and $6,300 resistance levels. A new 2019 high was formed at $6,315 and the price is likely to extend gains.

An initial support is near the $6,230 level, and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $5,961 low to $6,315 high. If there is a downside extension, the next key support could be $6,140. It represents the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $5,961 low to $6,315 high. More importantly, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support at $6,050 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Moreover, the previous resistance area near $6,050 is likely to act as a strong buy zone if the price corrects lower.

Besides, the price is now well above the $6,000 pivot level and the bullish 100 hourly SMA. Therefore, there are chances of more upsides above the $6,300 and $6,350 levels. The next main hurdle is near the $6,400 level, above which the price could rally towards the $6,500 level.

Looking at the chart, bitcoin price is gaining bullish momentum above $6,200 and $6,300, with no major bearish sign. In the short term, there could be a few bearish moves, but dips remain supported near the $6,200 and $6,100 levels. Only a daily close below $6,000 and the 100 hourly SMA could start a substantial downside correction.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is currently placed heavily in the bullish zone, with positive signs.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is currently correcting lower in the overbought zone.

Major Support Levels – $6,200 followed by $6,140.

Major Resistance Levels – $6,300, $6,400 and $6,500.

Bitcoin Price Leaves Earth Again As Trades Head To $16k

bitcoin price gained almost $2000 in 12 hours into Tuesday as the virtual currency’s correction gives way to gains and investors reaffirm their faith.


bitcoin Price Optimism Returns

Volatility has briefly returned to markets post-Christmas, bitcoin currently circling $15,200 according to Coinmarketcap’s average trading prices, up from $13,680 Monday but coming down from the day’s high of $15,700.

The move has dampened altcoins, with a mixed bag of gains and losses greeting investors today. Civic, which surprised by posting sudden huge advances from $0.70 to as high as $1.68 in the past 24 hours, has now deflated to around $0.87.

Having weathered a new round of bubble accusations last week as prices dipped below $13,000, bitcoin holders meanwhile are now “more bullish than ever.”

Those are the words of BitGo engineer Jameson Lopp, who led various high-profile supporters voicing their trust in bitcoin’s future and disregarding its current technical shortcomings.

“I’m more bullish on bitcoin today than I have been in the past 5 years. The developments underway that have been made public are only the tip of the iceberg,” Lopp wrote on Twitter Christmas Day.

McAfee: Technical Issues Are ‘Trivial’

Also leading the bull charge was John McAfee, who asserted the current status quo of the bitcoin network – a key factor behind criticism from bitcoin Cash (BCash) proponents – was “trivial.”

“I have been a technician all of my life, so if anyone knows, it is me,” he continued. “The world is waiting on consensus for the right solution. bitcoin is still the only guaranteed investment in the crypto world.”

McAfee added separately that by the end of 2018, bitcoin would be “ten times” its current price, still conservative within the context of his $1 million 2020 price target.

At the same time, the security expert’s recent investment tips for altcoin assets have been roundly lambasted online after his picks “almost fully retraced,” as one commentator described.
