Bitcoin Price: Weekly Analysis

The Bitcoin Price is retracing since reaching a high of $37,769 on June 26. It has found temporary support at the 0.5 Fib line of the entire upward move. After the rapid decrease of September 24, the price has shown indecision. The Oct 7-Oct 14 weekly candle was bearish since buyers attempted to push the price higher but failed, creating a long upper wick. It has shown indecision since. Moving averages (MA) show that a short-term (10- & 20-week) bearish cross has already occurred. Also, the price has found support above the 100-week MA (white). We could see a movement similar to that of December — when the price found support above the 200-week MA (blue). It is worth noting that the price has never traded below its 200-week MA.

Daily Outlook

Looking at the daily chart, we can see that BTC has been trading inside a descending wedge since reaching the aforementioned high on June 26. Looking closer, BTC has made a triple bottom at $7800 beginning on September 27. This has been accompanied by bullish divergence in both the RSI & MACD. It is possible that the price will move upward from here until it reaches the resistance line of the wedge.

To conclude, we are bullish in the short-term, bearish in the medium-term, and extremely bullish in the long-term. The above analysis is the reason for the bullishness in the short-term. The chart below represents the price of BTC in a logarithmic chart since 2011. The vertical lines represent the two halving dates until now, while the third one the projected date for the third halving. Similar to the previous two times, we are expecting the price to consolidate until halving and be at the support line at the date of the event. This is the reason for being bearish in the medium-term. On the other hand, since we are close to the support line, we are expecting the relative bottom to be very close — hence the reason for being extremely bullish in the long-term.
