Most everywhere I listen I keep hearing people stating that this latest rise in Bitcoin is a "Bull Fake". I've seen them...been a victim of them...and I don't know that I could ever be right trying to predict one in advance.
All I can do is look at the indicators that "reveal" things to me...that's really why I post these...to share them with you. Comments are great..let me know what you think.
Here are some of the compelling things I see that could be made into a BULL case...not really going to outline the BEAR case...most already believe that and some are even cost averaging their short positions as price moves up. Some for good reason too...but there's enough analysis out there on that.
I did three things on this chart, which is the 4-hour chart zoomed out but still tried to let you see what is going on.
The first thing I see is that price finally and decisively broke out of a major down channel by bursting through it to the upside with a significant increase in RSi.
It is highlighted on the chart as the dark orange line extending from the all-time high downward across all the pivot highs...so a very important and previously significant resistance line. Welcome to support!
This is very indicative of a trend change in the opposite direction, in this case up.
It also broke out of a larger wedge it's been in for a while now.
Next, price has now closed two candles above the 4H 200ma, shown as the dark red dotted line, with the 3rd candle "treading water" taking up time but not price.
This is indicative of a wave 4, which could fit today's price movement as a wave 3 Up having just completed, we're now in 4 down (sideways) and then 5 Up to finish. Finish what? Wave 1 of 5 to come? That would be bullish.
If this count is right, then wave 2 took quite a while, so wave 4 could be much shorter.
Keeping the 4H 200ma would be ideal for a bullish scenario.
I added the upward sloping potential channel/dividing lines (either support or resistance) to track price action.
The last thing I did that I'll discuss, and maybe the most controversial is to put in the Fibonacci Retracement Lines...but with a twist...or even better....a stretch.
Once this small 4 completes, there might be a five up to finish this wave.
In an ideal bullish case, it would retrace to the 38.2% FRL. (I'm sure I only have to spell it out once),
So I moved the FRLs to where the retracement might come back to...the 200ma, this giving me where wave 5 up may end.
Watching to see if price will move up to the 0% FRL with the purple pivot point line just above.
I also put in small lines from where the 50 and 200MA lines are on the 1 Day chart.
Now you know what I do at 12:30 on a Friday Night! (Saturday morning....)
