Bitcoin Price Update: Thinking Short

As an update to the last price analysis that was put out, let’s go ahead and take a short-term look at the price of bitcoin:

RSI (14) is still climbing progressively and the price has re-corrected itself.

Once again, the overhead resistance at $4.2k is still pertinent for bitcoin .

For the time being, things appear safe on the daily resolution . So, let’s go ahead and zoom into some smaller resolutions to see what the immediate term price action could be.

H4 Resolution ( bitcoin )

We can see that the RSI (14) is nearly in the overbought range for bitcoin on the H4 resolution. However, this is a danger zone (to some extent) because the two previous times that the RSI (14) was in the overbought zone on the H4 resolution, there was a turndown.

Current Price Action

Today, there is a surge in the price of bitcoin as it races slightly past the $4.2k resistance (on Bitfinex).

Let’s check the price on Coinbase:

The situation that we’re observing here on bitcoin , though, could be one of a potential re-test of that $4.2k overhead resistance (that the price broke down south of), before it returns down to the lower levels of the $3k’s.

Conclusion

Currently, my idea on this is that there should be a long position on bitcoin would be risky.

In my opinion, a short would be much better advised from where bitcoin is currently.
