CoinSavvy here with a price update on Bitcoin . Things have changed, and I want to update my analysis and my trade game plan. I have exited my Bitcoin position as it closed multiple 4-hour candles below $8400 (see “Bitcoin: Higher Time Frame Breakout Series – Daily” linked at the bottom of the page) for my setup there. I had entered in around $7400 ever since the 3-day chart told me to enter when it closed above the 200-day sma (see “Bitcoin: Another HUGE Move is Brewing!” linked at the bottom) for my setup there.
Now that we had a giant rejection at $9,000 I want to gather some information in case things turn over for real here. Tonight, Bitcoin closed the daily, 2-day and 3-day candle around $8275 but more importantly it put in a low right at $8,000. If we tick back down below $8,000 with these new candles, then that would be considered a local top which would print out some pretty nasty bearish divergence on these time frames with the RSI as we have higher highs on price action with lower levels on the RSI .
When it comes to bearish divergence I have been seeing price tend to come back down to its 21 ema (bold white) so I marked these levels on this 3 day chart of Bitcoin with horizontals. Below are the levels and where they correspond to the other time frames.
Daily - $7,850
This is where the 21 ema is on the daily
2 Day - $7,100
This is where the 21 ema is on the 2 day
3 day - $6,600
This is where the 21 ema is on the 3 day
These targets are not able to be used until we actually tick past $8,000 and most likely want to wait for an hourly or 2 hour to close below that level which would indicate that this is a local top and now we have divergence to deal with.
Bullish case:
If this does not play out (quite yet) so if we start closing 4 hours above $8,400 soon then we must switch around the game plan to bulls business as usual as that would indicate that this overall bull trend upwards not quite done yet, however it is really starting to look like things are ready to turn around with all the medium time frame indicators turning bearish and the higher time frames starting to turn around. I have my eyes on something else at the moment (shorting the S&P ) and don't want to get too greedy with Bitcoin as it's been great to us so far so we will see what happens but I don't plan on entering a position for a while in Bitcoin as long as these divergences are playing out. Keep an eye out for both scenarios each time and it will keep you sane!
I will post something about SPY and SPXS tomorrow afternoon
