Bitcoin: 17K Test In Range.Bitcoin breaking 20K (again) further confirms bearish momentum which puts the 17K low on the horizon for the coming week. There were 2 sell signals in the previous two weeks (I described both of them in my previous articles and streams). If you are not short, NOW is NOT the time to REACT. The effective thing to do is prepare for what the next signal can look like. For those who thought Bitcoin was going back to 30 or 40K, as you can see, the market does not agree. If you were lured by big talk by false authorities, it is not them to blame, but instead your own emotional needs. You should know by now hope and fear are what drive the herd. If you are moved by such irrational forces, then YOU are part of the herd, YOU are the profit opportunity. Once again, listen to PRICE not people. The broader price structure AND economic environment have been BEARISH the ENTIRE summer. Just because Bitcoin went from 17K to 25K does NOT mean ANYTHING in terms of the broader trend (as you can see NOW). As I have mentioned previously, bear market rallies are confusing and hard to grasp because everyone expects "logic" to play a role in the markets. The reality is, it is antithesis of logic that drives markets, also known as irrational behavior. Stop asking "why" and instead as "where" along with "how" price is likely to behave. TRUST the price, it is a reflection of ALL the known information in the world in a given moment. Lower highs often lead to lower lows. As I wrote previously, 24K is now a LOWER HIGH. There is also a minor lower high in the 21K to 22K area. The entire zone between 22 and 25K was a potential resistance area where this type of activity was reasonable to expect. The fact that price could not clear this zone is what helped me maintain a BEARISH outlook (even though I do not short Bitcoin). Getting short now carries too much risk because the 20K area can see short squeezes. This type of situation is best for smaller time frame ideas, NOT for swing trades. As far as a new short, either price retests the 22 to 23K area followed by a new sell setup OR a momentum continuation pattern appears (inside bar) followed by a break of the low of that inside bar. At this moment, there is NO setup which means there is NO reason to do anything. Keep in mind, price may just continue lower without any signal. Betting on this is extremely aggressive. The reward/risk at this price is not attractive if 17K is to be used as the measure for potential. What if 17K breaks? Then 14K becomes the next reference point. There is no reason to be long at this time. If you looking to invest, keep it SMALL. We are in a very unfriendly economic environment for highly speculative assets like Bitcoin. The S&P sold off for the SAME reason. Don't fight the Federal Reserve. Thank you for considering my analysis and perspective. I hope you find it helpful.

BITCOIN Will the pivot line hold again?Bitcoin (BTCUSD) has completed nine days below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) as it failed to capitalize on last week's slow rise and got rejected on Friday just before breaking it following Powell's comments on the Fed's outlook. This downtrend has started on August 15, after the price got rejected exactly on the 1D MA100 (green trend-line). The last time we saw a similar rejection was on March 02. BTC also suffered a short-term pull-back, before rebounding again to the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) and eventually starting the new selling sequence. A key during the Nov 2021 - March 2022 phase was the Pivot trend-line (1) which at first was a perfect Resistance but then on the shorter-term turned into a Support, which gave the critical bounce to the 1D MA100 and the 1D MA200. We have an identical trend-line (2) since March that has been acting as a Resistance since July 20 and after breaking, has held so far twice, with the first bounce giving the 1D MA100 test. If it holds, there are high chances of starting a new rebound towards the 1D MA200. If not, the fractal model is invalidated and should put the 1W MA300 to test. Notice also that the Ichimoku Cloud is now on green territory. When that happened on March 25, Bitcoin had already started the rebound to the 1D MA200. So do you think the Pivot trend-line will hold?

BITCOIN Cyclical 1D MA200 model shows bottom & bullish break-outBitcoin (BTCUSD) tends to have a constant cyclical behavior, repeating certain aspects over and over again during each Cycle. The model that I will quickly analyze on today's post is no different and it involves the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). ** Similar dips and break-out durations ** On this 1W time-frame, you can see that during the past two Cycles, the price dipped -65% (Jan 12 2015) and -63% (December 10 2018) after the last rejection on the 1D MA200, before making the Bottom of the Bear Cycle. Also, the times from the rejections until the price broke again above the 1D MA200 are comparable, as it respectively took 33 weeks (231 days) to break above it on June 29 2015 and 36 weeks (252 days) on the April 01 2019 1W candle. As you see, those are roughly identical numbers and continue to hold during the current Cycle as well, as the drop from the last 1D MA200 rejection (March 28 2022 candle) to the June 13 2022 Low, has also been -63%, making it a bottom according to the model. If this process is fulfilled, then the price will break above the 1D MA200 again by the week of December 05 2022 the latest. ** Williams Alligator showing the Bottom is in ** An additional indicator that brings value to this model, is the Williams Alligator used on a 3W time-frame here. As shown during the past two Cycles, the market Bottom was made right when the green trend-line (lips) crossed below the blue trend-line (jaw). Similarly when the green trend-line crossed back above the blue, BTC had already started rising into the new Bull Cycle and that was an indication that the first rally of the Cycle made its top. So do you think that this model will be repeated once more, meaning that the market has already bottomed and Bitcoin will break above the 1D MA200 by the week of December 05 2022 the latest? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section below! P.S. Because the chart has the added element of the Williams Alligator plotted and pinned to scale Z, it is not constant and may appear distorted based on your screen's/ browser dimensions. The original looks like this below, so if yours doesn't, adjust the vertical/ horizontal axis in order to make it look like this and better understand what is illustrated: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BITCOIN 1W MA50/100 Cross! No better time to buy than now!Bitcoin (BTCUSD) saw a strong pull-back last week after it failed to break above its 1D MA100 and got rejected. We've already addressed that but what we do need to update you on is the fact that the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) is crossing below the 1W MA100 (green trend-line). This is technically a Bearish Cross but as the chart shows, during the previous two Bear Cycles, it has always been a signal that the price has formed its Cycle low and that BTC was inside the Accumulation Zone leading to the new Bull Cycle. It is evident that the current price action is very similar to those of February 2019 and April 2015 where BTC made its 1W MA50/100 Bearish Cross following a pull-back. With the 1W MA300 supporting, we may be closer to a 2015 type price action than 2019. In any case, there is another important set of indicators showing that the bottom is in. First the 1W LMACD making a Bullish Cross. Every time it made this formation after touching the -0.20 level, BTC was well inside the Accumulation Zone of the new Bull Cycle. Secondly, the RSI on the 1M time-frame hit and is rebounding on the historic Lower Lows trend-line (Support). Every time this happened the Cycle bottom was in and when the RSI broke above its MA (yellow trend-line), a new rally (first of the Bull Cycle) started above the 1W MA50. Do you agree that this indicator combo is enough evidence that the time to buy is now?

BTCUSD Miner Capitulation ended! Best Buy but eyes on the USD.Two days ago the Hash Ribbon on the well-known indicator flashed a buy signal, technically ending the Miner Capitulation! What does this mean for Bitcoin (BTCUSD)? Well historically, Miner Capitulation periods have occurred on absolute market bottoms (or lows during uptrends), providing the most attractive buy entries. The 'blue' buy signal on this indicator practically marks the end of this period, which gives the most optimal entry for a long-term investor. With the price being within the Buy Zone that comes all the way from the previous Bear Cycle bottom, still on Higher Lows, continuing to imitate the December - March 2019 bottom formation process, we may be in a spot similar to Jan 12 2019, when the price broke below its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) after having marginally broken above it previously, stayed below for 2-3 weeks but when it recovered it again, it didn't break it for months, starting the first rally into the new Bull Cycle. BTC is again currently below the 1D MA50 after trading above it for the majority of August. A break above it again, could be the last we see for months, initiating the new rally. The only objection we have against this pattern getting repeated, is the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) displayed by the green trend-line, which has been rising aggressively since mid August and is something that isn't consistent with Bitcoin rallies. Technically, BTC doesn't rise when the USD rises as well. Check the recent history where all major bottoms (Dec 2019 and March 2020) have coincided with the USD trading at least sideways. Do you think however that the Miners Capitulation ending can provide a boost strong enough on its own regardless of the rising USD?
