BTCUSD - Bullish patterns forming. Potential bottom?Even while bitcoin has been consistently dropping from one support level to the next, there are some bullish price action patterns that have been forming over the past week. Firstly, price is sitting on a critical support trend line on the log chart that goes all the way back to early 2015. Off of this key support level two large bullish engulfing bars have formed. We will need to see price push higher from these patterns and hold above the important $7,700 resistance to have any hope that a bottom is in. This market has a lot to prove but these bullish patterns are a good start.

BTC Core Macro Continues Downward SlideExcited by the reaction off of that 6.4k touch, much of the crypto community has grown horns, and become bullish again. I understand it. I even hope(d) it was a nice strong reversal beginning. The Weekly tells a much more grim story. A) Chikou has been rejected by the cloud. B) Chikou has now traveled below price, as well as below T&K C) In late Oct we formed an Engulfing candle. So far we've only resolved it to the downside (arrow) Holding that yellow block is important for Bulls to keep their "Reversal" hopes alive. The "Never below 6k again" crowd will get their answer if/when we test that block. D) Look left......That Looooong.....Straight Cloud......Think it'll get a reaction? ::wink:: Bulls need to regain 7.3-7.5 to keep their hopes alive, imo. LHs LLs continue to be the reality. Perhaps we play an Edge-To-Edge on that Cloud, and tap 4.5k or so before making HL's and HH's ::wink::

100 point drop ahead?GMAB We are here again, fifth time we hit the upper band of the paralell ascending trend channel, the prior 4 times it made a spinning top and bearish engulfing before heading down. That's pretty much what we can see again, spinning top followed by bearish engulfing. GMAB, recently broke out of the big overhead resistance from the former triple top, which was formed in 2017. It would be likely that GMAB takes a breather after 8 weeks of green and a bit overextended. It could take a small dive and revisit 1485 and enjoy the view from the former top and bounce back from there.
