BTCUSD: Growth possible soonThe price of BTC continues to decline within the descending momentum.
Now it is fashionable to publish information about mass liquidations of traders' positions and, in general, liquidation is an excellent tool for market makers to write off liabilities and generate profits for exchange and brokerage institutions.
Paying attention to the news feed, one cannot help noticing how very often the information about the price reaching historical lows is mentioned soon.
I am not sure that with the current decline it would be logical, because it would be much more interesting to continue the upward correction and liquidation of traders, who took a short position in the hope to close them below $17k.
After such a scenario, it would be logical to reverse the price and put a fat point on the breakdown of $17k, when the main mass would give up the idea of updating the lows.
In general, for now, I'm set to buy at $19k to $20k, with certain signs of weak seller pressure. In addition, many altcoins are also building a similar structure, which hints at an upside shot soon.
Be careful and follow market dynamics.

What is next for Bitcoin: 8500$ or 10000$Bitcoin price is in an uptrend since the starting of the year, recorded over 40% price growth. Currently, Bitcoin is moving in a clear uptrend channel highlighted on the chart.
Channel resistance is sitting at just above 10200$ and support of this channel is at just below 8800$.
Bitcoin is currently trading above 9200$, above all Four Key Moving averages: 21,50,100 and 200 on the daily timeframe. 21MA acted as strong support for bitcoin during a mini bull run in March-June last year. I am expecting, 21MA to remain as strong support for a current bull run as well.
On Bearish note: 8500$ area remains as an unfilled CME Gap, which could fill later or sooner. Another bearish argument is open interest above 1 Billion dollars on Bitmex.
We have not noticed any significant decrease in open interest during bitcoin downwards move from 9600$ to 9100$. That indicates there is a possibility of another upside wave before a major correction to 8500$.
Right Now, I am looking for Bitcoin to test channel resistance at 10200$, and depend on rejection from this level - Bitcoin may drop to 8500$ later.
In my opinion, 10000$ should come first before 8500$.
