BITCOIN PRICE SHORT/INTERMEDIATE/LONG TERM PRICE PROJECTIONS.
Updated
I will first go over the technical analysis and charting first, then discuss my projections for the upcoming short term and intermediate term projections. Let’s take a look at the chart below. Note, the support/resistance lines were drawn a while back and some still holds true today.
Bitcoin price has recently broken down from the steepest trendline with multiple support points. There were early warnings that a break down was likely. The Mike Hearn's article and TX backlogs caused some serious panic selling. The next trendline up is from even a longer time frame. We briefly breached it but rallied above it so far. This line is also pretty steep so a break down wouldn't affect the longer term trend as much, but shows more short term bitcoin weakness.
The major support line is at 2340 which coincides with the previous spike high and the most recent crash. Above this support is bullish since it is the upper end of the trading range. In terms of moving average, the 200 day and 365 day moving average is way below the bitcoin price. I use this to gauge the general longer term trend. We are a bit extended at these prices since the moving average is so far away from the price, but price can remain at these levels for an extended period of time.
The last and most important thing I want to talk about is Dow Theory. If you are not familiar, I hope you can read up on it in one of my previous Dow Theory articles. In summary, Dow Theory suggests that a trend going up needs to form a higher high and a higher low and vice versa. Look at the red arrows on the chart; we have formed lower highs on multiple occasions on the daily chart. While it is not immediately bearish, it does show buying weakness. On the other hand, the market is also forming higher lows which confirm that we are in an uptrend. We have two conflicting signals, which bring me to my next point.
In the short to intermediate term, I expect further market weakness in the short and intermediate term. We have conflicting signals in the Dow Theory which suggests bitcoin price might be in a choppy market. Since price is at the upper range of the trading range. I expect it to pullback further. I am still bullish long term since we are trending up. So unless trendlines and supports start to breakdown in addition to a lower high and a lower low, I would not change my long term price projection
