Facts + psychology behind it, for those willing to read:
We are at a pivotal point in this market. It's very clear we have established a bearish pennant. We are about to have a 50/100 MA death cross on the weekly. We have yet to establish bullish divergence in the RSI. We have now bounced twice off the 200 MA, each time producing lackluster results. Volume is near the 6k drop all over again.
We have a few possible scenarios I see as to how this plays out.
1) We fail to complete the 5th leg of this wave and bart down, which is what EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR. The third attempt finally breaks the bear pennant and down we go.
2) We rally up to resistance, possibly faking out of the bear pennant. This would SURGE longs on the re-test of the resistance from the wedge. The divergence in this case would be even more extreme than it is now. THEN we use the new 'stupid longs' as fuel and down we go.
3) We rally out of the bear pennant and bart up to like 4.5k-5k, potentially ending the bear market or being the fake of the century.
I just don't believe the bottom is in. I am admittedly new to these markets, but I'm beginning to understand the psychology that runs them. If you believe in Bitcoin, what do you do? You accumulate more as it gets cheaper, no? What do you think the big boys are doing? The problem is, big boys are using futures to accumulate far more than they would have been able to in the first place. Wonder why bull flags always seem to fail? Because THEY'RE THE ONES MAKING THEM.
We need VOLUME, which means we need many more BUYERS, and NOBODY seems to be interested in these prices en masse. The institutions taking us down are EN MASSE.
