Technical Analysis - Bitcoin
Chart 1 Bitcoin 4H Chart
Bitcoin continues moving weakly. The latest attempt to pull the price up created another selling candle. The price is currently touching a support area at about $7.150, but there is no conviction by buyers to move the price further. If we look at the last candlestick, the large lower wick means that below $7.150 there are buyers interested, but we need to see the price move to the upper side of the Bollinger bands to consider the selling is over. Currently, the price moves below the -1SD line, so our primary scenario is for more drops to $7,000, $6,800, and, even, $6,600.
The Bitcoin_Longs chart shows the accumulation continues.
