bitcoin Price Analysis

This past week, we saw a strong rise in bitcoin price above the $5,700 resistance against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair even broke the $5,800 level and settled well above the 100 hourly simple moving average. The price traded to a new 2019 at $5,837 and recently started a downside correction. It traded below the $5,700 support and the $5,650 pivot level. However, the price remained well bid above the $5,540 and $5,580 support levels.

More importantly, the price is holding the 100 hourly simple moving average and is currently above $5,600. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $5,600 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. An immediate resistance is near $5,685, and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $5,782 high to $5,584 low. However, the main resistance is near the $5,760 level and a connecting bearish trend line on the same chart. A successful close above $5,760 and $5,780 might push the price above the $5,800 and $5,850 levels.

On the downside, the main support is near the $5,600 level and the 100 hourly SMA. Below $5,600, the next key support is near the $5,540 level, where the bulls may emerge. If there is a downside break below $5,540, the price may revisit the last line of defense near $5,420. Any further losses may push the price in a short term bearish zone towards $5,200 or $5,100.

Looking at the chart, bitcoin price is currently trading above important support near $5,600 and $5,580. Therefore, there are high chances of a fresh rise above $5,700 and $5,760. If the bulls regain momentum, the price could even trade to a new 2019 high above the $5,850 level in the coming sessions.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is currently placed in the bearish zone, with a few negative signs.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is currently recovering, but it is still well below the 50 level.

Bannon, Kushner Agree To Stop Fighting, “Bury The Hatchet”

zerohedge.com / by Tyler Durden / Apr 8, 2017 3:31 PM

Following several days of media reports that Trump is close to parting ways with his closest advisors, either chief strategist Steve Bannon who recently was removed from Trump’s National Security Council due to his imploding relationship with Jared Kushner, or chief of staff, Reince Priebus, who has been rumored to be the fall guy for the failure to pass Obamacare, or both men combined, moments ago Reuters reported that Bannon and Jared Kushner met and agreed to “bury the hatchet” over their differences, according to a senior administration official said on Saturday.

The end of the feud supposedly comes as it has “distracted from President Donald Trump’s message” although in recent weeks many are increasingly unsure just what that message is, and even more confused that it suddenly appears to echo the message of Hillary Clinton.

As Reuters details, Bannon and Kushner, reportedly Trump’s most influential adviser not to mention his son-in-law, met on Friday at the request of Reince Priebus who told them that if they have any policy differences, they should air them internally, the official said. The development came at the end of what Reuters dubbed “a relatively smooth week for Trump” which is an interesting way of describing the launch of airstrikes against what may well be a premeditated “false flag” in a bid to boost one’s approval rating.

Prebus’ message to Bannon and Kushner was to “stop with the palace intrigue” and focus on the president’s agenda, the official told Reuters. Both aides left having agreed that it was time to “bury the hatchet and move forward,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A slightly different version comes from Axios, which reports that Trump himself addressed his feuding inner circle: “You guys are close. Knock it off. Work together.”
