The Fed may have only just taken its first step through the tapering talk window. However, interest rate changes are still 12 – 18 months away, a lifetime in financial markets.
Keeping this in mind, let's break down charts on the following assets:
Bitcoin, BTC/USD - 4 Hour (H4)
BTC/USD Bullish Confluence
Flipped GREEN 20 EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
Bullish pin-bar candle close on USD 31K support after a fake-out drop to USD 29K
Bitcoin needs to turn USD 34K into support as valid confirmation of a breakout
BTC/USD Bearish Confluence
Under macro 0.5 fib retracement zone resistance at USD 34.5K
H4 50MA and 200MA (Moving Averages) at USD 36K
Q's Technical Assessment
BTC/USD correction appears over for now, but it still needs a bullish re-test to confirm the reversal.
Gold, XAU/USD - 4 Hour (H4)
Q's Technical Assessment
Gold is also looking bullish and is currently trying to flip the H4 20 EMA (this bodes well for Silver bulls as well) before we head into the European trading session tonight.
