As you can see, price started a correction immediately after hitting 16.5K later today, do you think BTC will break above such level soon or it will do it later after gaining enough momentum? Feel free to share your comments below.
As usual, analysis from Kuang Ren for today:
BTC:
As mentioned in my previous analysis, the key $16,500 level will be the major resistance, coincidentally, pressure caused by dumping chips emerged after the highest price just hit that level later today.
Volumes on daily chart shrank, which made it less likely for BTC to break above such level. Overall, strength from bears is weakening, meaning that BTC will exchange time for space around $16,500 and continue the oscillating move around those 2 lines as marked.
Altcoins:
XRP started another wave of upward move this morning, a lack of momentum seemed obvious during the rally, meaning that current strength of momentum can’t set all locked positions at the high level free.
Even if price sets another new all-time high, it could be a fake break, which makes it inappropriate to chase high from current level. For XRP holders, however, reducing your positions at high level is recommended.
NEO Price has moved up to around former major resistance with decreasing volumes after going live on huobi.pro, which makes it unsuitable for speculative operations for now, let’s wait and see.
The oscillating move of BTC price will create chances for altcoins, you should guard yourself from the impulse to chase high.
Altcoins being strong during previous sessions can be our targets for short-term and quick operations once chances for short-term rally emerge.
Also, altcoins remaining in consolidating patterns at low level and showing signals for being under the control of main funds will launch their independent upward moves sooner or later.

I think it's interesting how the drop/correction after hitting that point of resistance was pretty small in comparison to the recent corrections we've been seeing. We dropped around 10-13% and then started seeing some rise back up to the 15,000 area. I think after this drop, we'll see a strength in BTC and watch it bypass that first level of resistance and maybe hit one at around 18k.
