SponsoredBTC trading range
BTC made another attempt at moving upwards on July 8, but created another long upper wick. It has fallen slightly since, so far reaching a low of $32,530.
It has been trading relatively close to this level since June 21.
Technical indicators are undecided. The RSI is at the 50-line and the Stochastic oscillator is undecided between making a bullish or bearish cross. Similarly, the MACD has lost its strength but is still positive.
BTC is still trading inside the same range between $31,300 and $40,550. The latter target is the 0.382 Fib retracement resistance level.
The shorter-term two-hour chart shows that BTC is trading at the $32,725 minor support level. This is the 0.5 Fib retracement support level of the most recent portion of the upward movement. In addition, it’s a horizontal support area.
Similar to the daily time frame, technical indicators provide a mixed reading. The MACD is at the 0 line while the RSI is moving above and below 50.
SponsoredIf a breakdown occurs, the next support would be found at $30,500. This is the 0.786 Fib retracement support level and a horizontal support area.
Wave count
The wave count is currently unclear. The bearish count suggests that BTC is in a large 1-2/1-2 formation, which could eventually lead to lows near $19,000.
The bullish count suggests that BTC is trading inside a symmetrical triangle as part of a complex corrective structure. This could lead to a retest of the range high.
Due to both counts being technically valid and the mixed readings from technical indicators, the current wave count is a bit ambiguous.
