bitcoin Price Analysis

Recently, we saw a sharp decline in bitcoin price below the $3,950 and $3,900 supports against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair found support near the $3,875 level and later bounced back. Buyers gained control and pushed the price above the $3,900 and $3,950 levels. There was also a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $4,065 high to $3,875 swing low. However, the price failed to gain strength above the $4,000 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

There was also a rejection near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $4,065 high to $3,875 swing low. Moreover, there is a major bearish trend line in place with resistance at $4,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair is clearly facing a strong resistance near the $4,000 level. If buyers succeed in surpassing the $4,000 resistance, the next key resistances are near $4,020 and $4,040.

On the other hand, if the price fails to climb above $4,000, it could start a fresh decline. An initial support is near $3,970 and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $3,873 low to $4,000 high. However, the main support is near the $3,940 level. It represents the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $3,873 low to $4,000 high. Any further losses could take the price towards the key $3,875 support level.

Looking at the chart, bitcoin price seems to be struggling near the $4,000 resistance. If it continues to struggle, there is a risk of another drop below the $3,940 and $3,900 support levels in the near term. On the upside, the main hurdles are near $4,000, $4,020 and $4,040.

Technical indicators:

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

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD has moved below the 50 level and it could extend its slide.

Major Support Levels – $3,970 followed by $3,940.

Major Resistance Levels – $4,000, $4,020 and $4,040.

Bitcoin Price Watch; Closing Out The Week

We are closing in on the end of a week that’s going to be remembered for some time by many in the bitcoin space. The bitcoin price broke through the $10,000 level – a level that many claimed it would never reach – and topped out above $11,000 before quickly falling back below the major threshold. Since then, we’ve had a degree of instability, with participants on both sides of the market seemingly unsure as to what happens next. There’s a strong chance we’ll see a return to the overarching upside momentum, of course, but how deep the current correction will go remains to be seen.

As we always say, however, whatever happens, we’re going to be on top of the markets with our short-term efforts.

So, with this all noted, let’s get some levels in place that we can use to try and draw a profit from the markets as and when things move. As ever, take a quick look at the chart below before we get started so as to get an idea where things stand and where we are looking to get in and out on any volatility. It’s a one-minute candlestick chart and it’s got our range overlaid in green.

As the chart shows, the range we are looking at for the session comes in as defined by support to the downside at 10438 and resistance to the upside at 10618. Standard breakout rules apply for the session, so we’ll be looking at jumping in long on a break above resistance towards an immediate upside target of 10680. Conversely, if price breaks below support, we’ll get into a short entry and target a downside level of 10380. Stops on both positions (somewhere around $15 or $20 the other side of the entry) will help ensure we are taken out of the trades if things turn against us.

Let’s see what happens.
