Bitcoin - Expecting More Volatility

Updated
Bitcoin is currently trying to establish support in the mid-50k region after an all-time high of 69k. What's interesting about the structure is that it shows expanding volatility - there are two broadening patterns enmeshed within each other. Broadening patterns show increasing volatility as time goes on. I think if Bitcoin manages to break out to the upside, we can see a pretty explosive move towards my pink trendline (80k+). If Bitcoin breaks ABOVE that trendline, we should enter a blow-off phase, and I will look to exit some of my long term crypto positions. On the other hand, if Bitcoin breaks the broadening structure to the downside, I expect a test of liquidity in the $46-49k range, and a decline towards the purple trendline. In that case, I may become a buyer again. I added a little to my spot XLM position this past weekend near $0.32.

On a large enough green candle, the daily MACD should flip bullish again. Indicators allow for plenty of upside here. A lot I think depends on spot buying. We really need to see those genuine buyers show up.

Let's see what happens!

Pretty strong reaction at the 56k level, and another test of the downtrend currently. Because this daily candle looks pretty bullish already, I think it's possible we see $65-69k pretty quickly if the broadening wedge is broken. snapshot

Still really struggling at these two trendlines. Price is really seesawing up and down, which shows a lack of liquidity in this range and indecision from buyers. The broader market outlook is looking fairly gloomy in my opinion (for the medium-long term), so it makes sense that people are hesitant here, and becoming more risk-averse. snapshot
Note
Repeated failure to break the downtrend and back above 58k has resulted in a new local low within the structure. If bitcoin can't bounce hard relatively soon, we can see sub-50k prices. Need a much stronger reaction from buyers, though it seems we're starting to tap into some liquidity in the low 50k's. snapshot

Look at that! Broadening wedge support hit perfectly. snapshot
