Bitcoin: luckily, left behind

91
This was one of extremely rare weeks when traders could say that the move of BTC toward the downside was not at all bad. They just need to see developments on other financial markets as of the end of the previous week. Despite the general sale off, it could be noted that BTC strongly holded its grounds, and most importantly, was not affected too much with news regarding the trade war. The price of BTC was relatively calm, compared with other financial assets, which was relatively good news. The price was moving within a relatively short range, between $85K and $82K. There was a short move toward the $88,1K, but it was just one short occasion.

The RSI continues to be in a silent mood, moving around the level of 45, for the last two weeks, implying that BTC currently has no trade direction. Very important development is occurring with MA lines. Namely, for the second week in a row they are highly converging toward each other, implying that the potential cross is just right around the corner. This is going to be a so-called dead-cross, implying on potential trend change.

Evidently, at this moment markets are not at all concerned about the crypto currencies, as they have some significant developments on the other side. The volatility would certainly continue in the coming period, but to what extent BTC will be affected, is hard to estimate. Is BTC going to be an asset to be sold by some investors in order to cover margin calls from other markets? Is there a leg in the reflection of major developments from traditional markets on the crypto market? Those are questions which will seek the answer in the week to come. Based on charts, there are equal opportunities for BTC to shortly reach the $85K, but the charts are also pointing toward the $78K in the coming period. The fundamentals from other markets will decide the course of BTC in the week ahead. Trading precaution is highly advisable.
