I think that Bitcoin is basically lagging the moves of Ethereum and Litecoin, possibly only Litecoin.
Basically the sell off earlier was because LTCUSD hit resistance at $59.75 area (Binanace chart) which was resistance since it was prior support before March 18th 0600 GMT.
This area was test twice prior and on the third test it was rejected hard and LTC dumped into the lower $58 area which looks like it maybe held.
Looking at the Bitcoin chart of the similiar range, it didn't really have any resistance areas to cause the sell off, so basically it was lead by LTCUSD.
Which is similiar to what happened also on March 17th at 0000 GMT, basically there was a huge dump and it was most likely because it was the retest of the ETHUSD $141 area which was an important level, basically was strong resistance, then falls break, and strong resistance again.
I am requoting my last post because it looks like we might be aproaching an important $4K bitcoin breakout. A few days back I mentioned that BTC was lagging by LTC and ETH moves. It was starting to look toppy until last night.
Basically there was a huge dump on both LTCUSD and ETHUSD and support actually held, this is very bullish. So I am thinking that LTC and ETH will start to lead the rally first and then we should see BTC clear the $4K major resistance.
I am looking at $141 and $160 breaking with conviction on ETH and the $62 (Binance chart) breaking on the LTC chart.
Bitmex interest is at record highs... usually it means that there will be a crazy fast move... just don't know direction.
Also 6% of Bitfinex shorts have closed in the last 24 hours.... probably assumed that the bottom is in.
