Three days ago, on our previous Bitcoin price analysis, we had identified the “short-term” triangle on the 4-hour chart.

Three days ago, on our previous Bitcoin price analysis, we had identified the “short-term” triangle on the 4-hour chart. We had also stated that Bitcoin is likely to reach the low of the “bigger” triangle (marked on the daily chart) in case of a breakout to the downside.
As could be seen, Bitcoin had reached a low of $9,500 (BitMEX) following the breakdown of the 4-hour’s triangle formation around $10,160. An immediate plunge of more than $500.
Was this the end? The significant “bigger” triangle support held, and since then Bitcoin had seen an enormous surge back to the $10,300 zone, which is another retest of the upper angle of the 4-hour’s triangle. Since getting rejected, Bitcoin is slowly losing momentum, towards the $10,000 support region.
To sum it up – the short term is bearish, the longer term is dependent on the triangle formation – breaking above $10,500 (along with the significant 50 and 100 days moving average lines) or the bearish forecast which will take place when breaking down $9,400.

Key Levels to Watch
– Support/Resistance:
As mentioned above, Bitcoin is about the support area of $10,000. The next major support lies at $9,800, then $9,600 and $9,450 (which is the bearish triangle boundary). A breakdown and it’s likely to see Bitcoin touching $9K or beyond.
From the bullish side, the 4-hour’s descending trend-line at around $10,200 is the first resistance line. The next is the confluence zone between $10,300 – $10,500, which also contains both the 50 and 100 days moving average lines (purple and white lines on the 1-day chart). Besides, another mid-term bearish sign could be coming from the current ‘fight’ between the two moving average lines. In case of a bearish cross (when the 50 days crosses below the 100 days).
– The RSI Indicator (Daily): The RSI is also bearish – we see lower highs, and the RSI is about to breakdown the 43-44 support. The stochastic RSI oscillator is around the oversold area, which might ignite a short-term correction before a further continues down.
– The Trading Volume: Last Thursday volume turned out to be the highest of the past two weeks. Despite that, the volume is decreasing over time, another sign of a coming-up strong move.
