Incoming DEATH CROSS in BITCOIN!

Incoming DEATH CROSS in BITCOIN!

Currently bitcoin is facing a 50/100 MA death cross on the weekly while inside of a big bearish pennant .
The last time this occurred was towards the end of the bear market in April of 2015. Upon the ACTUAL death cross of the 50/100 MA in 2015, bitcoin only pierced the bottom of the support it was holding once before starting a multi-year bullrun.

The target of the weekly pennant we are consolidating in upon successful breakdown will be roughly -29% from the point of breakout. This gives us a target of around $2,352 for our next solid support should we break below the 1.618 and our current lowest low. Here is the weekly chart for reference of the death cross as well as the bear pennant we are consolidating in with targets.

Daily view shows us multiple concerning factors corroborating the potential death cross.
First and foremost, a 4th consecutive rejection at the 50 MA- crucial resistance, and the top of the bear pennant . This is now the 4th attempt for bitcoin to rally back above the 50 MA, with the most current attempt being a very high volume rejection.

The RSI is showing extreme weakness. Since December 17th, the RSI has printed 2 higher highs while price has now printed a MUCH lower high. This is indicative of hidden bearish divergence. This is what happened the last time divergence of this magnitude was shown in the RSI:

Since the 11th of January and after a massive rejection at overhead resistance with a bearish MACD cross, the MACD has been attempting to get back above the zero line. Continued sell pressure will cause convergence and soon signal another bearish cross.

The . 618 retracement and 2nd wave of this impulse is located around $3,470. It has proved to be a very strong support since we fell January 11th. If this area is pierced and there is a downside fakeout, I suspect it should go no further than the . 886 retracement located around $3,366. A confirmed break below this support with a subsequent failure to immediately rally back above will signal a short entry.

Marked on the chart is also a bullish Elliott Wave structure count. If we are able to successfully break upwards and out of the pennant , we have a chance at invalidating this massive hidden divergence by reaching a target of no less than $4,236. According to my current possible Elliott count, we also stand a very small chance of possibly printing an inverted head and shoulders . Though, not much hope should be put behind this happening. It is only there in the event my bull count somehow plays out LITERALLY perfectly.
(Which, let’s be honest…won’t happen in this market lol.)

Where do YOU think bitcoin is headed?

Coinbase Adds 100k New Users in Just 24 Hours as Bitcoin Prices Continue to Climb

Interest in bitcoin is intensifying. People wishing to purchase bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are flocking to digital currency exchanges, such as Coinbase. In effect, on November 2, 2017, as bitcoin hit all-time highs for the third week in a row, Coinbase added more than 100,000 customers in just a 24-hour period.


Many Are Now Jumping on the bitcoin Bandwagon

The number of people wishing to participate in the cryptocurrency ecosystem is increasing exponentially. For example, data collected by Alistair Milne shows the extraordinary growth of Coinbase’s customer base.

Coinbase, the online cryptocurrency exchange, now has more than 11.9 million customers, in 32 countries. The amount of digital currency Coinbase has exchanged has reached $40 billion USD, according to the company’s website.

Launching of bitcoin Futures Contracts

Launching of Bitcoin Futures Contracts

bitcoin’s value continues to increase dramatically. As of this writing, bitcoin’s price has surpassed $7,300 USD. Thus, the cryptocurrency is poised for its fifth consecutive quarter of impressive growth in value.

Financial experts suggest various reasons to explain bitcoin’s recent increase in value. For example, many experts attribute the latest spike to the CME Group’s announcement that it plans to launch bitcoin futures contracts in the fourth quarter of this year, contingent upon regulatory approval. This announcement has aroused investors’ interest. The CME Group is one of the largest derivative marketplaces.

Other experts propose that the bitcoin’s recent price spike is due to the upcoming Segwit2x blockchain hard-fork. Blockchain is the technology behind bitcoin. On November 16, 2017, blockchain is scheduled to undergo a hard-fork, or split, known as Segwit2x. Consequently, there will be two bitcoin blockchains and two types of coins: bitcoin and Bitcoin2x.

The Segwit2x hard-fork might significantly benefit those holding bitcoin because they will receive an equal amount of Bitcoin2x for each bitcoin they possess.

Specifically, as detailed by Coinbase, “Any user storing bitcoin on Coinbase at the time of the fork will be credited with an equal amount of the new Bitcoin2x asset on the Bitcoin2x blockchain. No action is required – we will automatically credit your account. If you have 5 bitcoin stored on Coinbase before the fork, you will have 5 bitcoin and 5 Bitcoin2x following the event.”

But even before the CME Group’s bitcoin futures announcement and the Segwit2x hard-fork, bitcoin’s adoption rate had been increasing. As we can see by the striking number of new Coinbase customers now subscribing in a single day, this trend seems likely to strengthen.

Do you think bitcoin’s adoption rate is just scratching the surface? Let us know in the comments below.
