Topic: Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC/USD Bulls Keep Charging to Upside Targets (Read 700 times)

Lol, its same even with fundamental analysis, you will news that will carry good news about bitcoin, while one will carry otherwise, and they keep tossing us everywhere. I got an expert opinion when bitcoin was $6000, he advise me technically that within few weeks, bitcoin will do a correction if $4800, I backed out from further investing, hoping for the dump, till now, no sign of bitcoin dumping that hard.

I think it’s just better to learn to follow our own opinion alone, since we already believe in the potential of bitcoin, we just buy, hold and wait till it gets to a very high price, even if it is not now and has to be future, after all, investment is meant for the future.

My problem with all these technical analysis of a thing is that they never say the same thing, you will see some of them saying that there is going to be a Bull run and you will see some of them saying that it is going to be the opposite, and worst of it all is that they are all claiming to be experts, then who the heck is someone going to believe? Well, I think that you're the one who is correct, there is going to be a Bull run for sure because judging from when you posted this here, March 28th, the price has gone from that rate of $4000 to $8000 and that's double of the price we had then. It is still showing signs that there is going to be further increase.

As a result, the bulls pushed the price above the $6,250 and $6,300 resistance levels. A new 2019 high was formed at $6,315 and the price is likely to extend gains.

An initial support is near the $6,230 level, and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $5,961 low to $6,315 high. If there is a downside extension, the next key support could be $6,140. It represents the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $5,961 low to $6,315 high. More importantly, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support at $6,050 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Moreover, the previous resistance area near $6,050 is likely to act as a strong buy zone if the price corrects lower.

Besides, the price is now well above the $6,000 pivot level and the bullish 100 hourly SMA. Therefore, there are chances of more upsides above the $6,300 and $6,350 levels. The next main hurdle is near the $6,400 level, above which the price could rally towards the $6,500 level.

Bitcoin Price Analysis BTC Chart

Looking at the chart, bitcoin price is gaining bullish momentum above $6,200 and $6,300, with no major bearish sign. In the short term, there could be a few bearish moves, but dips remain supported near the $6,200 and $6,100 levels. Only a daily close below $6,000 and the 100 hourly SMA could start a substantial downside correction.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is currently placed heavily in the bullish zone, with positive signs.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is currently correcting lower in the overbought zone.
Major Support Levels – $6,200 followed by $6,140.
Major Resistance Levels – $6,300, $6,400 and $6,500. 

right now there seems to be a strong resistance around $6000 as we are having a difficult time breaching it. The highest price I've seen is around $5990 and then a minor pullback to $5950 then the price will go on $5960-$5970. But still a good indication that we are in the bullish cycle right now. So let's see if we can break $6000 and go for the upside around $6100 or it will it just over $6000 before another pullback.

The bulls pushed the price above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $6,562 high to $3,115 low.

More importantly, there was a break above a crucial bearish trend line at $4,730 on the daily chart of the BTC/USD pair.

It is now trading well above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last major decline from the $6,562 high to $3,115 low. These all are positive signs, suggesting more gains above the $5,900 level. However, there are many hurdles on the upside near the $6,000, $6,070 and $6,100 levels. The $6,070 level was the previous breakdown support and it may now prevent gains.

If there is an upside break above $6,100, there could be an upside extension towards the $6,532 swing high. The main resistance above $6,500 is near the $6,800 level, the main pivot zone of Oct 2018. Therefore, there are chances of a strong bearish reaction from $6,100, $6,500 or $6,800 in the coming days.

But the market still too volatile and it's hard to predict with the right price, and we don't know what will happen tomorrow.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Near Crucial Juncture: Can Bulls Gain Traction?

https://www.newsbtc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Bitcoin-29.png

Bitcoin price rebounded above $5,100 after a massive drop towards $4,900 against the US Dollar.

There is a major bearish trend line in place with resistance near $5,230 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).

Bitcoin price is facing a significant resistance against the US Dollar. BTC is likely to climb sharply if it settles above $5,250 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

This past week, there was a sharp drop in bitcoin price below the $5,200 support against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair even spiked below the $5,000 support level and formed a swing low above $4,900. Later, the price started a slow and steady recovery above the $5,000 and $5,050 resistance levels. The bulls even pushed the price above the $5,100 resistance and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $5,509 high to $4,905 low.

It opened the doors for more gains above the $5,150 level, but the price struggled to clear the $5,200 and $5,220 resistance levels. It seems like the 50% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $5,509 high to $4,905 low is acting as a hurdle. Besides, the 100 hourly simple moving average is also acting as a key resistance near $5,220. More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $5,230 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

Therefore, the price must break the $5,220 resistance, the trend line, and the 100 hourly SMA. A successful close above $5,250 is likely to start a decent upward move towards the $5,300 level. The next major resistance for the bulls is near the $5,380 level. On the other hand, if there is no upside break, the price may decline below $5,150. An initial support is near the $5,100 level, below which the next stop could be $5,050.

Bitcoin Price Analysis BTC Chart

Looking at the chart, bitcoin price is clearly trading near a crucial juncture below $5,220 and $5,250. If the bulls gain control above $5,220 and $5,250, there could be a decent extension towards the $5,380 resistance level. Conversely, a continuous struggle to clear $5,250 is likely to start a fresh decrease towards the $5,100 or $5,050 level in the near term.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is slowly moving in the bullish zone, with a few positive signs.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD managed to move back above the 50 level.
Major Support Levels – $5,150 followed by $5,100. 
Major Resistance Levels – $5,200, $5,220 and $5,250. 

I think growth will continue

Bitcoin price started consolidating losses after a strong decline against the US Dollar. BTC is likely to recover above $5,200 and $5,280 in the near term unless the $5,000 gives way.

Bitcoin Price Weekly Analysis (BTC)

This past week, there was a significant rejection in bitcoin price near the $5,660 level against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair started a strong downward move below $5,400 after tether’s drama. The price tumbled below the key $5,280 and $5,200 support levels. There was even a spike below $5,000, plus a close below the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). A swing low was formed near the $4,910 level and recently the price recovered above $5,000 and $5,050.

At the moment, the price is testing the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $5,510 swing high to $4,910 swing low. However, the $5,220 area and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours) are acting as hurdles. Above $5,220, there is a major resistance near $5,280 and a connecting bearish trend line. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $5,510 swing high to $4,910 swing low is also near the $5,280 level. A successful close above the $5,280 level might trigger a decent recovery in the near term.

On the downside, there is a major bullish trend line in place with support at $5,080 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. The trend line support near $5,080 is very important, below which the price could test $5,000. If there is a daily close below $5,000, the price is likely to move further into a bearish zone. In the mentioned case, the price will most likely test $4,800 or $4,750.

There was a slow and steady rise in bitcoin after it tested the $4,920 area against the US Dollar.
The price climbed higher steadily and broke the $5,200 resistance area to move into a positive zone.
There is a key ascending channel in place with support at $5,270 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
The pair could dip in the short term, but buyers are likely to buy heavily near $5,270 or $5,250.

Bitcoin Price Weekly Analysis (BTC)

This past week, there was a downside extension below the $5,000 level in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair traded below the $4,950 level before buyers took a stand above the $4,920 level. A swing low was formed at $4,922 and later the price started consolidating in a range. Finally, there was a fresh increase above the $5,160 resistance and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). The price broke the $5,200 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $5,462 high to $4,922 low.

The recent upward move was positive since there was a close above the $5,200 and $5,250 levels. However, the price seems to be struggling near the $5,350 resistance. There was also no close above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $5,462 high to $4,922 low. A successful close above the $5,350 level may perhaps open the doors for more upsides above the $5,400 and $5,450 levels. A break above the last high near $5,462 could trigger a strong upward move towards $5,600 or $5,800.

On the downside, there is a decent support formed above $5,270. There is also a key ascending channel in place with support at $5,270 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. If there is a break below the channel support at $5,270, the price could test the $5,160 support level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).

Bitcoin Price Weekly Analysis BTC Chart

Looking at the chart, bitcoin price is trading nicely above key supports near $5,200. If there is a short term downside correction, buyers are likely to protect $5,270 or $5,200. Only a daily close below $5,160 could put buyers on the back foot. The next key support is at $5,040, followed by the $4,922 swing low.

Technical indicators

4 hours MACD – The MACD for BTC/USD is slightly placed in a bearish zone.
4 hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is slowly moving lower towards the 50 level.
Major Support Level –  $5,160

In the end whether Bitcoin pulls back or rallies from here is insignificant. Just like the pessimists in 2004 who were waiting to buy $350 gold again, they waited until..... umm they are still waiting. Why be that guy just waiting? This market is far from Euphoric and there are too many pessimists still calling for 3k or lower! The key is do you have a plan?

Someone noticed that the Bitcoin started to move during the weekends, whereas before it was pretty dead. You could buy bitcoin cheaper starting from Friday and it returned at the beginning of the week. Now it does the opposite, increase in weekends and decrease at the beginning of the week.
