For those keeping score, a significant bounce just occurred. There's no guarantee, but there's an arguable chance this reversal sets us on the path of challenging the 11k resistance line again. A couple notes on this development:
1. The reversal slightly shifted/delayed the 11-month bull channel that Bitcoin has been trading in (sans the 2017 Q4 bubble). This is further evidence of the power of the current bear trend (3 months and counting).
2. This is a western-driven reversal so far. Compared to the 02 Feb reversal, the volume is notably less on Bitfinex but far more on Coinbase.
In my opinion, the reversal is real if Asian volume follows suit and the price closes above $8,960 before 3/21. If it closes below that but above $8,580, strong confident is gone but cautious optimism is preserved.
