Chart notes:
Successive death crosses on the MAs. (Inputs are 50 and 200 for the 2, 3, and 4-day periods)
20k ATH tested with locally high volume though should be noted the volume is very low on the weekly (compare with previous bottoms)
Many people suspect a bear rally or relief rally to follow. I think price action will be choppy for the short term as the 20k level proves to be an important zone.
I see a channel forming (marked in blue). Anyone with Flags or Elliot Waves want to contest or defend this feel free, I’d appreciate your input.
If price rallies out of channel I think market will then want to test MA resistance. I don’t have faith the MAs will be ignored, especially if/once the 4D death cross prints.
I’ve marked in the 300W MA as potential support. The reason being, if 20k breaks, BTC doesn’t really have any obvious support levels market consensus shares. I personally don’t think the 300W MA will be something price interacts with strong. Because some people are looking at it, it will have something to say on the daily, but I think zooming out to the weekly price action will ignore it (unless the week’s cycle lines up with the day’s close)
So where’s our long-term support? I can only draw a Volume Profile for this. (I can’t set more than 5 indicators so I just drew it in like the 300W MA) Historically this is where most transactions have taken place (in the 20k to 6k range).
There’s no reason to expect high volume in the coming months, so this range makes sense to me. Whether price breaks out of the channel or continues down, I think both will find a floor somewhere in that rectangle.
Indicators:
I’ve only included the MACD (4D period). It is my assumption that RSI, A/D, and other technical indicators won’t prove reliable right now as traders are paying more attention to global news. Protracted Ukraine war, Recession, yi yi, its all been said.
I just wanted to show the MACD paired with the 4D (projected out) death cross because together they hint there’s room to drop.
Self-criticism:
In Feb I looked at BTCUSD chart on Tradingview (no account at the time) and guessed August would be the right time to start building a long. I have no experience investing. Re: psychology, this chart may just be me validating that original assumption. Others believe 20k will hold, with only a wick below on the weekly. Others think we’re going down to 4k, and have been saying it long before you could claim fear. Well, look where we are now? Some argue BTC has never seen a recession before.
On-chain market indicators like the NUPL and MVRV Z-Score, which are very good at showing ‘bottoms’, which indicate we’re encroaching a bottom now, may be misleading given geopolitical events. Who knows?
Position:
I would not long or short here.
I would not average in here (unless you have a sizeable amount to invest)
