Very nice head fake! On the 1H-4H time frames, bears tried to spark a selloff and retest the lows. That dump was rejected strongly on higher volume, so this bounce could have some legs left:
Another dump from the highs into the last gap. So we're certainly not
that bullish. However, you can see that bulls are defending the $8,500 area. This consolidation looks quite like the last one, which exploded upwards to new highs:
We certainly aren't out of the woods; this could go either way. But it looks like a "scam curve" which I've mentioned before:
The short term charts look like a "scam curve." It's a super choppy whipsaw formation. Obviously a corrective formation, which EW chartists usually assume is a bearish consolidation that will break down because of the higher degree downtrend.
But in my experience, they are usually accumulation patterns that break upwards. Sort of like how BTC often breaks upwards from rising (bearish) wedges.
