This chart is completely based off the weekly chart, If we finish the week over 7300 then disregard this chart but as It stands, Bears are going to be driving this market to panic levels. As a trader I am In a short position of various alts, with a minor short position in bitcoin.
The low volumes indicates fear/uncertainty in the market and these heavy players/firms/whales are just priming for the best moment to unload a wave of panic down the Permabulls throats.
Of course this market is being manipulated.. but you have to understand that every single asset is manipulated by big players for their own agenda/game. It's nothing new and really not worth mentioning.
As a trader you have to know the absolutely worst outcomes along with the best.
The Long term Bullish view is that we finish A somewhere around 5.5 - 6k, go up for a minor B to 7k then retrace for the final leg down to 4.8-3.8k. (fingers crossed that's it)
Keep in mind that if we do not recover from the 5-6k area.. then 4.8-3.8k will be your first bounce, up too 6-7k then down for the worst C wave this crypto space will endure... And if we do not recover past the 1.3-1.8k levels...then I'm sorry but Bitcoin's longevity of "THE BIGGEST BULL MARKET THE WORLDS EVER SEEN' will be in the dark for quite a while. This is the real stuff and you need to be prepared for the worst outcomes.
There is hope still... I'm waiting for a recovery.. preferably V shaped with ridiculous buying volume. We are all impatient so when the traders see the signs of reversal, you will really understand how bullish the next season will be.
But.... Be careful catching a falling knife that's dipped in oil, 2000 degrees hot moving at the speed of sound. :)
