Bitcoin BTCUSD Trying Hard to Change Trend Bitcoin broke above the 9537 line here and then moved up to testthe upper parallel, making an 02:15gmt/21:15est high within the first hour of far East opening before falling away \again to an 08:15gmt/03:15est low right on the blue support line at 9373 before bouncing again on European interest at the lower levels. Now it's bounced to touch the first line of resistance at 9537 once more and day traders are taking a fast 200 point win and cashing back out again many of whom have shorted at the usual 06:00gmt traditional short time and made 200 down and now 200 up again. At the moment Bitcoin is still in day-traders' and scalpers' territory with no killer swings to trade as yet. It's still trapped in a downtrend but is at least trying to form a higher low so far today and therefore showing first signs that this downwave is running out of downside momentum. In very near term it's gone into a small continuation pattern and is trying to break above the 9537 line where fixed and dynamics converge - tiny pins below and above price forming on 15 minute chart meaninga big battle is raging below the surface here. Things only begin to turn positive again now when the 9537 line is retaken and held by the bulls - that will likely lead to a test of the upper parallel again at 9682-9715 - and then the big test...Bitcoin has to break and hold above the 9715 level before the last bear will back off. It would be yet another brilliant escape act by Bitcoin if it can manage this at any point today, attracting every bull still left in town back to the game and should be followed higher if we see this price action develop. But until then Bitcoin is effectively trapped at these lower levels and the downtrend remains in force - but it's not super- bearish here, just mildly so - and so we need to watch it here to see if it tries to break above the smallest parallel of the continuation pattern - if so can follow with stops below 9480.
