Is It Finally Time to Short BTC?

Updated

A downward channel appears to have formed on the daily chart. Whereas $10,000 to $10,500 was the previous and impregnable resistance, bulls seem to have backed off. $9500 is the new 10k, and price seems to have tarried in the $9150 to $9400 range, which previously looked like a neutral zone between bears and bulls. At the moment, we are rejecting off that $9150 on the daily. There is much resistance below 9k, and price could well go sideways for a while, BUT July has not been a good month for BTC in the past, and the drive past 10k seems to have petered out. A short position bought into between $9150 and $9500 may pay off in the near term. Targets start at $8800, then $8500. If $8500 breaks, possible stops at $8200 and $7700 would follow. If $7700 breaks, we might be in for a monster crash. Will update as and if we approach that level. The white ellipse corresponds to the first three days of July, and at the time of posting, look interesting as a potential break point for BTC below $8700.

Let me know if you are following along and how your trade goes.

Order cancelled

Downward pressure and upward buoyancy seem to be balanced. We appear to be at an equilibrium point. Could break down from ~$9050 soon, or break up from ~$9250. Will reassess.

Note

And good thing I did, as it started pumping about three days later.
