Hello traders,
If you recall from my previous analysis, I mentioned that retest of $3700 is necessary before the next leg up, and finally we saw minor dip last night.
Looking at the 4 hour chart, we see that Bitcoin is trying to find support at $3700 and this is where 4-hourly 200 moving average is located. This bearish breakout was not as strong as I expected as the volume is much lower compared to other bearish breakouts, which suggests that bears are starting to get exhausted. I am actually not surprised by this because bear tried to drive the price down multiple times and bulls bought those dip every time. However, this dip was necessary because we just needed to solidify $3700 as strong support and one dragonfly doji just is not enough to confirm that $3700 is support. So where are we going from here:
1) I expect another few days of sideway movement. I see a lot of people are frustrated of sideway movement, but you have to understand that longer the sideway movement, the strong support/resistance will be. The 7 days of sideway movement was actually a really good thing if we see another leg down to $4000 because we know $3800 would act as strong support. If MACD can curl upward in next 24 hours, we will have bullish divergence, and I will enter long position from this point on.
2) In case $3700 range is breached, the next support is somewhere around $3550 where we see confluent layer of support and where ascending black trendline meets. At the moment, I give low probability of this scenario because the market sentiment is desperate for another bullish breakout, and most of the bearish sentiment disappeared when Bitcoin found support at $3700.
Happy trading!
