Bitcoin price is not going up and $26000 is becoming a resistance. If bitcoin price stay for long at $26000 or slightly below the price for long, there would be a time that the market would become highly volatile again and which could be in the uptrend or downtrend. What I am saying is that as bitcoin is likely to increase, there is also a big chance that the price will fall. And if the price reaches $23000/24000, let us expect bitcoin to fall below $20000 but which would create a strong support.
I think Bitcoin will move to window of 29 to 30k USD very soon as 26k is giving very strong support. Bitcoin price was very much stable on 30k and this correction was expected. To me its a good time to accumulate some discounted Bitcoin. Also we have Halving coming up next year and the Bitcoin community is now mature enough to prepare in advance for that event. Its not very much likely that Bitcoin will go bearish.
P.S: This analysis is just my personal analysis. DYOR.
I remember when bitcoin was moving sideways around the $30k area, everyone had the same prediction as you. Everyone thinks the $30k resistance is unbreakable, and a continuation to the 33k-35k level is almost certain. But then what? Everything plummeted to $26,000 for no reason at all. Likewise, $26k is being seen by everyone as unbreakable resistance and bitcoin should recover from here. I really doubt it will go up from here since there are so many Fuds about Binance in the market.
Well, certainly not me and I could remember that I gave
an analysis regarding this at that time. True traders will not be adamant on a certain direction especially when the market is channelling like it was doing at the time you referred to, they give conditions.
However, I still give kudos to everyone's analysis if not done through guesswork. And just because they were wrong at that time doesn't mean they will be wrong this time.
The weekly chart this is supposed to be a local support tho I don't know what will happen if Mr. Powell decide to raise the interest again the 18K is possible
I don't see $18k in sight in the next 3 months and no matter how impactful the speech of Jerome Powell is, it will not move Bitcoin much. I've seen interest rates news and his speeches and the FOMC meeting minutes moved gold as much as over 450 pips, but Bitcoin just moved about 70 pips in such a situation.
So, it depends on the mood of the market, the trend and the support and resistance levels the news hits the market.
Your chart is pointing down to 18,556 and that could mean a very bearish time but I don't know what month it could be or even this year.
Lol...That is a mere coincidence with the grid, the arrow was just a representation of a bearish trend, nothing else. The real levels were defined afterwards, and as you can see, the $18,556 is certainly not part of the discussion.
