Bitcoin Daily Analysis

The Bitcoin price is trading inside a descending wedge. The short-term 10- and 20-day MAs are in line with each other, so every short-term price movement causes a bearish or bullish cross. On the contrary, the 100- and 200-day MAs hold more importance. At the current time, they are both above the price and close to making a bearish cross. These two MAs have been instrumental in determining the direction of the trend. The bearish cross in April 2018 confirmed that we were in a downtrend — which lasted until April of the next year. In my opinion, we will not make a bearish cross. It is much more likely that we have a rejection of the cross which is succeeded by upward movement, similar to what we had in May and December 2016.  

Short-Term Movement

Looking at the short-term, we can see several things. First, the price is following an ascending support line and has been doing so since September 30. The line is currently slightly above $8000. Also, there is one support area at $8130, which previously acted as a resistance. The closest resistance area is currently at $8400. Currently, we are expecting the price to drop to the support area before resuming its upward movement. A breakdown below the short-term support line would likely take us to the support line of the descending wedge. Good luck and happy trading! For yesterday’s analysis click here.
