Bitcoin: Path To 33K Not Easy.Since the 30K break out, it would be wise to adjust relevant support levels. The 28K AREA is the new zone of support that I am watching for the possibility of a new SWING trade long (the previous level was 25K). As you can see from the forecast line that I illustrated on my chart (a week ago), Bitcoin appears to agree with the break out scenario that I outlined in my previous article. The question is: what to do from here? Here is my suggestion.
As an interesting side note, my trade scanner called Bitcoin long 3 days before the 30K break out (talked about this in my recent stream). While I suggest a reward/risk of 1.5:1, this move delivered 2 or 3:1 at least if your stop was placed at a proportional level. I mention this because my system chart is potentially setting up to generate a new buy signal over the next few days. While there is no guarantee that it will, or that it will work, its track record so far has been compelling. The signals are based on trend following criteria and will not generate any counter trend signals.
As illustrated on my chart, price is now hesitating around the mid point between the 28K support and 33K resistance zone. The 30K break out confirms the bullish structure and increases the probability of 33K being tested over the next two weeks. These facts suggest that shorting at current levels is NOT favored in terms of my SWING trade strategy. For the contrarians, the lower risk alternative is to work on smaller time frames and do NOT expect an outsized retrace (like 25K). A move into the mid to low 29s is somewhat reasonable.
At the same time, price is still NOT at an attractive level for swing trade longs EITHER. This situation is common and same as the short side, longs should be considered on smaller time frames only, along with proportional expectations. What separates the two scenarios is: the broader structure IS bullish which means catalysts are more likely to take price to the next resistance (33K).
The key to navigating this is: adequate RISK parameters. STOP obsessing over news, and other frivolous information. My trade scanner is ignorant to news, opinions, emotions, gimmicks and retail nonsense. It simply WAITS for criteria to be met.
The IDEAL SWING trade scenario would be a retrace into the 28Ks (see blue square on chart) followed by a long setup with a take profit expectation in the 33Ks. IF price finds support earlier (low 29Ks or even low 30Ks), look for intraday setups with proportionally tighter stops (500 to 1K points is within reason). 33K is NOT a guarantee, it is a potential objective. The reward/risk ratio offers a more effective mechanism to determine exiting positions.
Thank you for considering my analysis and perspective.

BITCOIN Keep it simple. 1W RSI above 70 = rally!Bitcoin (BTCUSD) on the 1W time-frame is about to see its RSI break above the 70.00 overbought barrier. A simplistic yet reliable historical way of viewing the current situation is that every time the RSI broke above this level, BTC was either starting a mega Parabolic Rally or was in the middle of a smaller rally. On five occasions the rallies were very aggressive, on four there were less, the kind of rallies we see at the start of a Bull Cycle.
What is it going to be this time? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!

BITCOIN has started riding 'The Bollinger Wave'. Fullspeed rallyBitcoin (BTCUSD) is witnessing a strong green week, following three straight weeks of flat price action that got many questioning the strength and durability of the rally since the start of the year. A simple indicator comes to give the answer on the 1W time-frame. It is the Bollinger Bands that display a very distinct characteristic during BTC rallies (similarly during downtrends as well).
We call that "The Bollinger Wave" and it is the upper Bollinger Band (blue trend-line) on the 1W time-frame that Bitcoin rides as a "wave" during a Bull Rally. The chart on the left shows the last two such rallies, with the current being the 3rd one as the price has been "riding" the upper Bollinger since the week of January 16.
The chart on the right shows all such rallies since 2010. It is easily noticeable that when such rallies start there is now easy or quick stop to them and they are supported by the Bollinger's Basis (orange trend-line). This is the exact same trend-line that offered the strong rebound of March 6th.
How high the current rally can go before getting exhausted is anybody's guess but two things are a fact: a) It has only just started and b) the Bollinger Basis has risen to 22435 and is now the long-term Support.
So what do you think? Will Bitcoin continue to "ride the Bollinger wave"? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!

Bitcoin 30K: Play The Breakout?Bitcoin is on the verge of a consolidation break out into the 30Ks, but what is the most effective way to manage the risk presented in this scenario? Price location plays a very important role in shaping trade expectations. Let me explain.
You will notice a path that I have illustrated on the chart. Like I explained a few weeks earlier, this is NOT an absolute forecast, instead it is one possibility out of infinite possibilities. It is NOT about WHEN the market will follow this path, it is about IF it chooses to do so. We are followers in this HIGHLY RANDOM game and the only ability we have is to manage risk.
Here are the factors to consider:
1. The broader price structure continues to support the bullish argument.
2. Price has been consolidating between 26,500 and 29K for weeks.
3. Bitcoin appears to be less correlated to the broader markets in recent weeks.
4. All it needs is a catalyst to set it off and shorts will be forced to cover.
So the bullish break out is favored statistically, the problem is: the LOCATION is FAR from ideal and presents a much higher risk in terms of my swing trade strategy.
Even my newly setup trade scanner has been calling longs in the high 27K area which offered potential profits of a couple of hundred points IF managed carefully. The key to this is using the market context to SHAPE expectations in a way that optimizes RISK.
The way I go about doing this is simple: If I am seeing buy signals in a bullish context that are NOT aligned with a major support, then I have much LOWER expectations of the outcome. This translates into 1) focusing on smaller time frame strategies. 2) Looking to take profits as soon as risk is justified. 3) Time horizon expectations are limited to 1 day or less.
This mind set allows me to participate in scenarios that have a lower probability of following through.
So where is the ideal price for a swing trade with greater probability and reward/risk potential? 25K (see blue square on chart).
Otherwise, watch for a break of the 29,500 area and momentum follow through into the low 30Ks during the week. Also be prepared for a fake out and conflicting signal.
This is NOT a game of opinions, it is a game of adjusting to NEW information as the market presents it.
Thank you for considering my analysis and perspective. Happy holidays to everyone.
BITCOIN Is 300k the true potential of this Cycle?Bitcoin (BTCUSD) isn't backing down, withstanding to perfection so far any noise in the stock market, a development that establishes that its new Bull Cycle is well underway. Having broken above the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) and what will most likely be the 4th straight weekly closing above it, we can see that it is testing (and so far struggling to break) the key former Support of the Bear Cycle (Fibonacci 1.0).
The previous Cycle made an aggressive rally to the 2.0 Fib extension after it broke above the Bear Cycle's Support (Fib 1.0) and peaked 28 weeks after the bottom. In an amazing act of symmetry, we see that these last two Bear Cycles lasted for 52 weeks each. Since so far the moves are proportional, we cannot easily dismiss the probability of this '1st Rally Phase' being also 28 weeks and reaching as high as the 2.0 Fib, which is a little over $53k.
Beyond this, a year of basically ranged trading wouldn't be unrealistic, until the Halving 4 event (which is programmed for March 2024) that will inflict a huge supply shock and as it did in May 2020, initiate the final, mega parabolic rally of the Bull Cycle. That part of the previous Cycle, from the time BTC reached the 0.2 Fib until its November 2021 peak, lasted 124 weeks. The peak was achieved a little under the 5.0 Fibonacci extension.
A repeat of makes $300000 by October 2025 a plausible target. Does this reveal Bitcoin's true potential for this Cycle? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!

BITCOIN About to wave goodbye to 30k for good if broken?Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is ahead of a critical breakthrough on the 1W time-frame. The former Support of the first half of the Bear Cycle is around 30k and is currently being tested. History has shown that when this level gets tested as a Resistance and breaks during the start of a new Bull Cycle, it never gets retested (cannot count the irregularity of a once in 100 years event like the COVID pandemic in March 2020.
At the same time time, when it breaks the 9°Lower Highs trend-line, the Parabolic Rally starts and doesn't look back. All this while the 1W LMACD is on perfect symmetry with the previous Support tests.
Are we about to wave 'bye bye' to 30k for good? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!

BITCOIN Inverse Head & Shoulders gives historic bull runs!Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is in the process of completing a peculiar Inverse Head and Shoulders (IH&S) pattern on a bullish slope. This has historically been extremely bullish for BTC. For reference, we post the most recent such formation (June - August 2021) and the whole 2017 Parabolic Rise which contained 5 similar patterns. The technical target is the 2.0 Fibonacci extension, currently a little over $38000.
Do you think that's BTC's immediate target? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!

Bitcoin: Relative Weakness.28K resistance still in play in the face of a dramatic stock market rally over the previous week. This is a sign of relative weakness and speaks volumes about the balance of order flow. The 25K support AREA (see blue square) is the price location that I am WAITING for in order to put on a new SWING trade long.
As a market technician focused on short term movement, I am not concerned with why a market is acting the way it is, I am only concerned with price structure, levels and confirmations. My only purpose is to manage risk and evaluate probabilities, it does NOT get any more complex than that.
With that being said, what is relative strength and why is it so important to be aware of? First, it has NOTHING to do with the RSI. Relative strength is the comparison of one market against a parent market or index. In the case of stocks for example, you would compare the price behavior of your stock to the S&P or Nasdaq. If the S&P rallies, and the stock in question hardly moves, that is a sign that selling activity or at least an absence of buying. Once the S&P becomes weak, the stock in question is likely to outperform on the bear side. This means it would be a good idea to consider short possibilities and avoid any longs.
Bitcoin is an index that I use in comparison to alt coins, but when it comes to comparing Bitcoin, the parent would be the S&P. The correlation fluctuates over time, BUT there has been plenty of instances where these markets generally move together over the short term (this is all relative to the Dollar). So if S&P rallies hard like we have seen over the previous week, Bitcoin should have also. Instead, Bitcoin can't get out of its own way. This implies NO ONE is buying, or if they are, they are being absorbed by greater selling activity.
For this reason, I anticipate once the weakness reasserts itself in the stock market, Bitcoin will correct into the 25K support area. This can take a week or two. In my previous article I described a price scenario of retracing to 25K and the market briefly agreed before it presented another scenario. Perhaps this was the stock market effect. As you should know by now, I don't pretend to know the future, I consider potential scenarios. I adjust with the market because markets are HIGHLY random.
Based on the current position of the bond market (10 Yr Note), the S&P while interesting, has still not proven any sustainability in terms of "bull market". The next retrace will be very telling. No major resistance levels have been taken out yet. This translates into: very high risk for long term stock and Bitcoin/alt positions.
The game plan is still the same: wait for retrace to relevant support, measure risk and WAIT for confirmation before taking a position. This does NOT apply to smaller time frame strategies.
Thank you for considering my analysis and perspective.
BTCUSD Bearish Cross ahead. Potential for 25500.BTCUSD is very close to printing a Sell Cross of MA50-100 (4h). This has been consistent with sell opportunities in February and March.
Unless the Rising Resistance breaks, a pull back to the MA200 (4h) is more probable.
Trading Plan:
1. Sell on the current market price as the Sell Cross is pending and we need to be ahead of the price action.
Targets:
1. 25500 (MA200 4h).
Tips:
1. The RSI (4h) is under a Falling Resistance, which is the same Bearish Divergence that led to the February 9th and March 10th bottoms.

BTCUSDT → Strong consolidation. What is BTC preparing for?Bitcoin has been in a strong consolidation for two weeks, which is starting to form a pre-breakdown formation. The next retest of the 28650 level will be able to implement the buyers' plan. What is going on and what to expect from the price?
The flagship is in the stage of realization of the fifth wave. It is worth paying attention to the consolidation.
1. strong consolidation near the resistance level
2. no pullback after the false breakdown of the level 28654
3. many repeated tests of the resistance level
4. the local trend is ascending.
Proceeding from these nuances, we can conclude that the price is about to exit the upside range, break through the resistance level 28654 and go up to 30000, and then to the fibo level 1.618 at 31290 (preliminary target for the 5th wave).
There were no strong fundamentals this week, but there are a number of nuances worth paying attention to:
1. Vitalik Buterin: "there will be no more explosive growth of BTC".
2. Santiment: all major bitcoin transactions this year were made in March, and the nature of the transactions indicates "profit taking".
3. Bitcoin miners' earnings rose to a 10-month high
4. WhaleMap expects volatility to rise on the back of $5 billion worth of whale transactions at current levels. (Recall that the price is in consolidation - gaining energy to move further in one direction or the other)
5. Santiment notes bitcoin's strong dominance on social media among the crowd.
Regards, R. Linda!
btcusdtin my opinion, bitcoin made local high around the 2D supply zone
I think #bitcoin will retest the previous weekly range then make another retest to the local high and smash down into channel TBH.
I am totally bearish on short term
but after the sweep lows, I think the price can touch JUN high.
COINEX:BTCUSDT
Crypto is bullishCrypto has recovered above it's 4 year moving average- historically a very important MA for market bottoms. It should build from this level with upside to 1.2T in the near future. If it can break through that level, it could go to 2-2.5T sometime in the first half of this year. I think an ATH is unlikely given the nature of the previous cycles, but would be welcomed. BTC should give relatively good returns compared to the major altcoins during this bull period.
BITCOIN So much for Resistances...Bitcoin (BTCUSD) broke yet another Resistance level, this time the Lower Lows Pivot trend-line that started from the Lower Lows of the Bear Cycle. When this happened during the previous Cycle in early May 2019, BTC skyrocketed to the next Pivot trend-line (upper dashed) and consolidated there before the next one (dotted). Of course the fundamentals aren't the same, and Bitcoin doesn't have the Libra euphoria to ride but still this technical symmetry is an indication.
Notice also now correlated the LMACD sequences are. Both bottomed around the same (2D tf) level at -0.18 to -0.16 and faced Resistance above the 0.00 mark on the previous Highs. Do you expect Bitcoin to continue rising and hit the next Pivot trend-line around $39000? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!

Bitcoin BTC-USD Long Setting up for a run within 10 days.Looking at my charts I see BTC-USD setting up VERY nicely for a bullish run at 30k+ zones over the next 10 days. MY current by zones for BTCUSD is between 28750 and 27000 over the next week. I see the possibility of price action hitting off the Midline of the Bollinger bands as a support level then retesting upward to find the new limits of the upper Bollinger band. The longer term Moving Average is just now starting to come into a play as a supporting indicator here and should provide additional momentum conformation for other traders.
I think sometime this year when BTCUSD crosses strongly into the 40k area that we will again start to see Institutional and Corporate investing start to add BTC to their balance holdings similar to 1/4 to 1/3 their exposure levels of Gold/Silver. Look for a LOT of world turmoil and conflict with the bloc ditching the US Dollar and this will drive even the most dedicated T bill holder into a new bitcoin dabbler, looking for some trend, stability, and possibly some recovery in a really rocky income market later this year.
Once we hit 30k we should expect to fall back to support 2 or 3 times around 28k before staying above 30k for any extended period of time.
Just documenting my thoughts for myself :) Do your own research.
BITCOIN What happens if 30k breaks?A lot of market participants are calling for a firm end to Bitcoin's (BTCUSD) rally around the 30k mark. Who can blame them? Bitcoin has been on a very aggressive rally since the start of the year with its price in the low 16000s at the time. As we pointed out at an earlier analysis however, the breaking and closing of a 1W candle above the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), set in motion the 2nd phase of this rally towards $30000.
** Former Support Zone turned into Resistance **
This is the level that most are afraid of and rightly so as the broader range of 29500 - 32500 is the former Support Zone (now Resistance) of the Bear Cycle, the Zone that initially supported the first sell-off and closed all candles above it for many months. When it finally gave in in May 2022, BTC entered the 2nd, most aggressive but final phase of the Bear Cycle. In fact, such Zones were present in BTC's previous Cycles. The Resistance Zone in 2019 was within 5800 - 6200 while in 2015 with 350 - 410.
** The 0.5 Fibonacci **
What's perhaps more important than this Zone itself, is the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level since the Cycle's top. On the current Cycle that's at $32800. In these past two Cycles, when Bitcoin closed a 1W candle above the 0.5 Fib, the price rallied and hit the 0.786 Fib in 6 and 8 weeks respectively! The 0.786 Fib on the current Cycle is at $50000.
But why do we give more weight to the 0.5 Fib instead of the Resistance Zone around the 30k mark? Because even though in the previous Cycle on the week May 06 2019, BTC broke above it and aggressively extended the rally, in the Cycle before on the week of November 02 2015, it broke (even above the 0.5 Fib) but got sold massively only to close the 1W candle back below it. As a result, a closing above the 0.5 Fib would be a more accurate signal.
Notice also that by the time the post 0.5 Fib rally reached the 0.786 level and peaked, the 1W RSI was at or slightly above 80.00 (obviously massively overbought). A strong medium-term sell/ take profit signal.
But what do you think will happen if 30k breaks? Will it rally to 50k and the 0.786 Fibonacci or pull-back and and consolidate for a multi-week period until it does so? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!

BITCOIN closed below the 4H MA50 and can drop lowerBitcoin (BTCUSD) broke below the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) with both the 4H RSI and MACD under their neutral limit. This indicates short-term weakness and as with the February 05 and February 22 4H MA50 break-outs, we may see a re-test of the 4H MA50 as a Resistance where a new rejection may cause a bigger pull-back.
The previous two break-outs made a Lower Low within the 1.618 - 1.786 Fibonacci extensions. Of course the March 10 low on the 1D MA200 (red trend-line) took place in the aftermath of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, a fundamental event outside of the technical sphere. Better us the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) as the targeted Support, by early next week it should be within the 1.618 - 1.786 Fib Zone.
The 4H RSI also has a clear Support Zone. Technically a Low within 25300 - 25000 seems a fair technical value with a Higher High at 30000, representing a solid short-term target. Do you also think such a pull-back would be healthy at this stage? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!

BITCOIN Cycle comparison and how China bonds initiate new Bull!This is not the first time we incorporate the Chinese bond yields element (CN02Y/CN20Y) to Bitcoin (BTCUSD) analysis, but it is the first time we do so in such an illustrative way by displaying all Cycles from a common starting point. We have made a case in the past how strong of a correlation the Chinese bond market has with Bitcoin and how efficiently that can predict its Cycles.
As you see on the chart, each Cycle portrays a certain period: Red = Cycle 1 -2 (2010 - 2014), Blue = Cycle 2 - 3 (2015 - 2018) and Orange = Cycle 3 - 4 (2019 - now). The CN02Y/CN20Y ratio is displayed in Grey. A key characteristic is that all Cycles have a common start, the bottom of the previous one. We see the effect of diminishing returns as each Cycle is less aggressive (naturally) from the previous one.
We also see the strong connection with CN02Y/CN20Y, as when the ratio starts declining, BTC enters a Bear Cycle, and once the ratio starts rising, BTC initiates a Bull Cycle. Right now it appears that we are at the point where the CN02Y/CN20Y ratio typically peaks and consolidates, which for BTC is translated to the time it breaks above its 1W MA50 and practically starts a new aggressive rally, the first of the new Bull Cycle.
Based on this model, Bitcoin should extend the rally it started this year. Do you agree? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!

BITCOIN is repeating late January. Small rise and consolidation Bitcoin (BTCUSD) in terms of RSI and MACD on the 4H time-frame, is replicating the formations of late January. We have applied the Pitchfork tool since January's Low and is shows a highly accurate pattern whose Fibonacci levels form Resistance/ Support lines.
The 4H MACD is about to make a Bullish Cross and on January 20 that was the start of a mini price jump before a 3-week consolidation. This is portrayed by the green Rectangle. As long as the 4H MA50 holds (blue trend-line), it is not unlikely to see another mini pump. The Support is located within the 0.236 - 0.382 Fibs, assuming it follows January's sequence.

BITCOIN $50000 is a realistic target by November!Bitcoin (BTCUSD) satisfied those that kept comparing the 2022/23 Cycle to the 2014/15 one as after the a clear rejection on the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), it rebounded on the Cyclical Lower Highs trend-line and since last week it closed above it as well as the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level.
This symmetry is remarkable and it doesn't stop here. Right now we are 101 weeks after the Cycle's true technical top on the week of April 12 2021. Notice that the 2nd week following the first 1W candle closing above the 1W MA50 in 2015 was on the October 26 2015 candle. That was 100 weeks after the Cycle Top!
If this amazing symmetry continues to hold, then we can expect BTC to reach the 0.786 Fibonacci level in 33 weeks from now, i.e. on the 1W candle of November 06 2023. That gives an exact target of $50000.
Do you think this pattern will hold until then? Feel free to let us know in the comments section below!
