Bitcoin - Still no sight of the uptrend
Updated
Since the last Friday, Bitcoin rose about 600 USD to approximately 20 200 USD, where it currently trades. Nevertheless, we maintain a grim view of Bitcoin, mainly due to the persistence of bearish fundamental and technical factors. Accordingly, we stick to our price targets at 17 500 USD and 15 000 USD. Although, we would like to acknowledge that Bitcoin might continue to be choppy for a little longer before regaining momentum to the downside.

The daily chart of BTCUSD shows retracements toward 20-day SMA. These retracements act as corrections of the downtrend. Therefore, we will pay close attention to the ability of the price to stay above/below the 20-day SMA (above is bullish, below is bearish). If the price holds above the SMA for an extended period, that may imply another price increase before the breakdown.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI exited the oversold zone, which is slightly bullish. Stochastic is neutral. MACD is slightly bullish; however, it remains in the bearish area. DM+ and DM- remain bearish. Overall, the daily time frame is neutral.
