Bitcoin Weekly Update #13
By 4C Trading — 09/12/2019 :
This analysis is intended for swing traders or medium-term investors. As a reminder, swing trading is a strategy of speculation in financial markets where an asset is held only for a few days to take advantage of price fluctuations. In this analysis, which you will find every week, I will detail my vision of the market and more specifically the one of Bitcoin. In addition to a technical analysis, I will summarize 3/4 of the news that impacted the market.
It’s very long…
The wait on the price of Bitcoin is becoming quite long. Accumulation period? Probably. Let’s see what happened since last week. We got a slight increase of $150 and that’s it. The support / resistance areas announced in the previous weekly analysis remain valid.
As a reminder:
On a daily time-frame:
- Main resistance: 7900$, in case of confirmed break ( full candle), we will see a bullish pursuit up to 8520$ and/or 9150$ before seeing a drop if the conditions to pass long above are not confirmed.
- Main support: 6890$, in case of confirmed break ( full candle), we will have a bearish continuation, with as next potential support the 6000$ and/or 5800$. Then, it will be necessary to watch that the conditions seen above are confirmed to place the purchase.
Over a shorter period (4 hours), and now I am no longer talking to long-term investors or swing traders but more to scalpers, we will notice a potential Cup & Handle (chartist configuration rather bullish). This would therefore go in favor of a rise to break the $7900 resistance as indicated above. Nevertheless without a real volume recovery, a bullish crossover over the weekly MACD period and a low Fear & Greed Index, I would consider it as a “bull trap” aka a trap for those who see the Bitcoin rise very quickly. I am speaking in this situation again in the weekly period.
Note that this week we had the opportunity to see an extremely bullish indicator that was triggered on the Bitcoin. It is the “Golden Cross”. This corresponds to the crossing of two moving lines: the 50MA and the 100MA. Here it is the 50MA in red that goes above the 100MA in orange. This is a very powerful and bullish indicator.
Thus, in view of this “Golden Cross”, from a long-term point of view I am only waiting for the MACD to cross over in a weekly time-frame to become a real bull.
Another thing that makes me want to Hodl Bitcoin is this type of graph where we can see future estimates of the price of Bitcoin based on mathematical analyses like Stock To Flow. For more information on this, I invite you to visit this site which makes the model and related explanations available for free.
In any case, don’t forget your stop-loss and adopt a strict risk management approach. This is a trading plan and not a prediction. Invest only what you can afford to lose.
I hope you enjoyed this analysis and that the Bitcoin will finally wake up, I wish you an excellent week.
