BTCUSD Technical Analysis UPDATE @ $7412 - Feb 6th 2018

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Alrite, quick update on BTC/USD. I've cleaned up my chart and removed the fibs and replaced it with some S/R lines.

Consider these as support and resistance zones. The four I have plotted are around these prices, which I expect to be significant in future price action. So, I'm going as far as to label them.

$9450 "S/R 4"
$8400 "S/R 3"
$7600 "S/R 2"
$5500 "S/R 1"

Today we bounced off of S/R 1. We are testing S/R 2 currently.

What I'm looking for next.

  1. A retest of S/R 1. As soon as I see some buying pressure at this level I'm dollar cost averaging in a portion of my fiat. If ETH is moving along with BTC, I'm picking up some ETH instead.
  2. A break of S/R 3 then a dip and bounce off of S/R 3. The goal is to clear this zone. I'm hoping for smoother sailing if it's broken.

On to another point. Let's dive into the 4HR chart. I'm not liking the looks of this in the short term..

We had a good bounce today. But, look at the Kijun line (that red line that we hit today). We tested it and then fell down under it right at $7700. Since, we are in a downtrend, this is indicating to me to expect another drop. I don't know how much of a drop, but drawing down from the Kijun line after testing/breaking it in a downtrend is a continuation signal for further drawdowns. On one hand I'm of course hoping the signal is wrong (and it is many times), but on the other hand, I wouldn't mind another buying opportunity to come up.
