Despite a promising start to the week, the bullish Bitcoin traders have struggled to maintain momentum. In the last few hours, bears have successfully overcome the intra-week support (white line), which was helping to keep BTC in an uptrend, and are now threatening to drive prices back towards the 0.5 Fibonacci level at $11,150. Looking at the 4-hour chart, we can see that the decline was foreshadowed by a significant divergence between the RSI and the price action (yellow...

Bitcoin price is soaring right now as the US legacy market opens up to begin the new week. Just hours ago, the leading cryptocurrency had completed a bearish Bart Simpson pattern after crashing down to $11,175 following an extended period of sideways chop. It was looking as though the asset was about to head down to the 0.5 Fibonacci level at $11,150, but new bullish momentum from the American trading session has helped drive BTC back above $11,500. With this, Bitcoin charted...

Bitcoin took a break from trading during the month of September, with relatively low volatility. As shown on the following 4-hour chart, the marked symmetrical triangle was basically the story of September: Started with a massive dump and a slow consolidation, since then, around $10,600. As can be seen below, Thursday signaled a breakout – in favor of the Bulls. Since breaking the triangle at $10.8K, we saw a healthy consolidation and finally a breakout of the $11-11.2K area,...

Bitcoin’s price has managed to climb $300 today and break bullish out of a 19-day consolidation pattern (white dashed lines). This is pretty surprising considering the recent Kucoin hack, BitMEX investigation from the CFTC, and the potential for a second wave of lockdowns worldwide. In just 6 hours, $12 billion flooded back into the crypto markets, shortly after Jack Dorsey’s Square announced it had purchased 4.709 BTC (approx $50 million). This catapulted the leading...

Bitcoin price appears to be tracking in another classic whale manipulation pattern right now, after yesterday’s sharp $200 crash during the US trading session. The details of this pattern have already been covered extensively in a previous analysis, but for those of you not familiar, it essentially represents a strategy employed by large BTC traders (whales) to create panic in the market and force weaker hands to sell. The induced rise in selling pressure creates more...

For the past month, BTC’s volatility had decreased compared to the previous months. The primary cryptocurrency had mainly traded inside a $1K range between $10,000 and $11,000. Over the past week, Bitcoin reached the upper boundary of that range at $11K; however, the news coming from BitMEX charged by CFTC, along with President Trump’s hospitalization, sent Bitcoin to $10.4K last Thursday, which marked the weekly lowest price. So far, this weekend had been slightly positive,...

Bitcoin’s price continues to tumble in response to yesterday’s breaking news that the United States Commodity and Futures Commission (CTFC) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have both decided to take legal action against leading Bitcoin derivatives exchange, BitMEX. $18 billion has been wiped out from the global crypto market since the announcement, and over $20.3 million worth of long positions have been liquidated on BitMEX. There’s also talks that the market...

Bitcoin has returned into its former range between the 0.236 Fibonacci level at $10,446 and $10,000 after prices crashed a further 3% yesterday, around 15:00 (UTC+1). This was the level that took over nine days to successfully clear earlier in the month and could keep prices suppressed again if volume remains low. On the 4-hour timeframe, we can also see long wicks above the last four candles, which suggest bears are defending this strong resistance level vehemently. The...

Bitcoin’s price is back in decline as $12 billion suddenly evaporated off the crypto market cap. This includes approximately $10 million worth of BitMEX BTC longs, which have already been liquidated due to the sudden breakdown. In the last 4 hours, BTC has tanked over 3% from $10,900 to a low of $10,560 and broken through both the 50 and 200-day EMA lines. The rest of the altcoin market is also experiencing heavy losses as traders withdraw into Stablecoins and other safer...

Even though the past week was positive for Bitcoin, the recent price action could raise some question marks for the bulls. After starting the week below $10,500, Bitcoin was able to break above the old tough resistance and reach back to the $11,000 area. However, while BTC gained 5% over the past week, most of the leading cryptocurrencies lost market cap. LINK  at -18% and even Ethereum at -2% are only two examples. The trending DeFi tokens suffered even harder. This tells us...
