This is a deep analysis on Fibonacci retracements, Korea Volume, Futures closings, Tether, CNBC and why I believe that $7500 is the most critical point for Bitcoin all year and if we break it, we are moving into a strong bull market and if we fail to break it, we will head back down towards the $5800 levels and possibly lower.
There is a significant fractal appearing that I have found that shows Bitcoin either being rejected soon, or moving into a strong bullish market.
Let's dig into the Fibonacci fractal evidence first. KEY: RED = Swing Low ORANGE = .618 From Previous Fib GREEN = Current .618
FRACTAL 1: Let's start with the all time high to the swing low: *Top: $19908 *Bottom: $10711 *.618 = $16395
The pullback retest hit the .618 Fib at $16,395 twice before falling further.
Fractal 2:
Top: $15664
Bottom: $6044
.618 = $11989.4
Going off of the .618 line and the swing low at $6044, we can see that the price pulled back to within the 1-2% of the .618 level.
FRACTAL 3:
Top: $11989
Bottom: $6439
.618 = $9869
Fractal 3, using the same level from the prevoius .618 to the swing low, we can see that price pulled back to exactly the .618 level at $9869
FRACTAL 4:
Top: $9869
Bottom: $5766
.618 = $8300
Fractal 3, using the same level from the prevoius .618 to the swing low, we can see that price pulled back to exactly the .618 level at $8300
NOTE: You can also use $10,000 for an exact .618 pull back.
FRACTAL 5:
Top: $8504
Bottom: $5857
.618 = $7493
If we then apply the same fractal we've been using and draw it from the top to the bottom ($8504 - $5857), then we can see a pull back to the .618 level at $7496 is highly likely.
This also coincides with a rising wedge and a rising bull channel.
This is also a confluence of the downtrend that has rejected Bitcoin all year at the .618 levels that I have just previously demonstrated. (Pardon all the lines.)
So the real question is.... Did Bitcoin Bottom at $5778? If you draw an impulse from where the bull market started back in July '17, we can see that Bitcoin has perfeclty hit the .786 pull back from the top.
This was also the EXACT point of the Bitcoin bull run that took us from $6,000 to $20,000.
Another factor to think about when considering whether bitcoin bottomed and we are moving into a new bullmarket is... The Importance of Korea South Korea is the home of the FOMO retail trader. They were buying Bitcoin at a premium in all of 2017.
They were hacked for $30 million and deposits/withdrawals were suspended until earlier in August.
A big deal that not many people are talking about is Korea's Bitthumb and the volume we are seeing since August 24th, 2018.
It is up over 30% and we are seeing Bitcoin sustain rallies when pull backs are often seen.
Drawing a fib retracement from the swing high to the swing low from Feb to the July bottom, we can see that the .618 and the .382 have both rejected BTCKRW along with a strong down trend.
This upcoming .236 retest at 8.2 million KRW is going to be very telling for Bitcoin and Korea's bullish sentiment for the rest of 2018.
What about the FUTURES CLOSINGS? Another thing to watch for is the Futures Market Closings. I have graphed out the CME and the CBOE closing dates.
I am seeing a correlation of money flow. CBOE closing usually correlates to a rise in the price of Bitcoin UNTIL a CME closing. CME closings usually correlates to a fall in the price of Bitcoin.
You can see all of my correlations drawn out here.
UPCOMING EVENTS: So, in 3 days on September 6th, 2018 we have the CME settlement date and on September 7th, 2018 we have the Bitwise ETF approval/denial date.
What about Longs Vs Shorts? We've seen a strong correlation with short and long squeezes in 2017 and 2018 and we may be seeing the same thing happen again.
Longs were at an all time high for 2017 when we saw the price get crushed from $20,00. The same thing happened in February and March as well as in July.
We saw the inverse happen when shorts went to an all time high in April and they got squeezed out and Bitcoin printed a $1,000 price candle and went to $10,000.
Shorts are again stacked up to near April highs with longs continuing to decrease.
BIG BULLISH CROSSOVER FOR MACD We are also seeing a bullish cross over on the MacD weekly for the first time in 2018.
TETHER AND MORE PRINTING: We also can't forget about Tether.
Last, but not least... we can't forget about the CNBC Bitcoin indicator. I posted a chart that has over 1,100 likes on trading view that predicted the start of the bull run and a rise to $8500.
They posted a high number of bearish tweets that coincided with the perfect swing low and we are seeing that play out right now.
CONCLUSION: In my opinion, we are at the most critical juncture for Bitcoin all year.
With Korean volume coming back, the cross over on the MACD weekly and a possible short squeeze, I think we may finally see an end to the .618 pull back and it will break the down trend and print the first higher low all season.
We are also seeing a significant amount of Tether being sent to Bitfinex.
With the bullish move, we may see Bitcoin print one of the largest candles for 2018 and move to the $9000-$10000 levels.
I will be hedging both ways as we will be seeing a massive candle either way in my opinion.
