Possible Upward Move
The Bitcoin price (BTC) is analyzed alongside the RSI below:
On Jun 4, the Bitcoin price (BTC) touched the descending support line near $7800. It continued to decrease and touched the line twice more during the same day. However, the RSI generated higher values throughout this period.
SponsoredFurthermore, the hourly candles which touched the support line had long lower wicks, creating several bullish hammer candlesticks. This indicates that there are buyers around this level.
Therefore, it is likely that the Bitcoin price will begin a short-term increase. A target for this move would be the area between the 0.5-0.618 fib ratio since the beginning of the rapid decrease at $8459.
This area is found between $8164 and $8234.
Future Movement
In yesterday’s analysis, we stated that:
SponsoredThe closest support area is found near $8200. This area initially provided resistance at the beginning of May, before turning into support after the drop on May 30. It currently coincides with the support line of the long-term channel. A breakout below this area could trigger rapid price losses.
Recent market movement caused the price to reach and rapidly break through the support area. We have slightly adjusted the support line of the channel.
This area now acts as resistance. It also coincides with the 0.5-0.618 fib area we found in the previous section.
SponsoredThe closest support area is now found near $7250. If the Bitcoin price (BTC) continues to decrease at the rate predicted by the descending channel (dashed line), it would reach this area on Jun 10-12. This movement would invalidate the ascending channel it has been trading in since May 12.
