Bullish tendency is broken 101-102K for sellingMorning folks, So, BTC was not able to stay above predefined support area and drop right back to the daily 92-95K level. It means that existing bullish context on daily chart is done. In general, this is reasonable - we're going to the Xmas Holidays and inauguration. There are a lot of uncertainty with coming D. Trump policy. Especially when JPowell said that the Fed doesn't intend to own any BTC... so inner conflict is ready. So, retracement might be deeper in nearest month. Since BTC is overextended down a bit, the first thing we expect upside technical bounce, somewhere to 101-102K area. Then, if we're correct in our analysis, downside reversal should happen with potential H&S pattern.

105K for possible short entryMorning folks, So, BTC just perfectly completed our setup for this week, turning down precisely around 107.80K, where as butterfly as H&S pattern targets were completed and falling down to predefined 98-98.5K area... Now what? Daily trend has turned bearish, so, nominally we have no reasons for longs at least on daily chart. And should wait for the bounce to resistance levels. Now 105K seems potentially interesting for short entry, if BTC will hold bearish trend. On intraday chart current 98-98.5 Lows in fact is a last hope for the bulls. This is K-support area, trend line support. SO tactical bounce should happen here, and it is already underway. Thus, for intraday traders, this level might be interesting for scalp long position. Those who would like to sell should wait for the same upside bounce. And, some resistance area, say 105K. If BTC will keep going higher, then forget about shorts for some time. So, daily traders should wait...

107K is next upside target, looking at 98-98.5K for entryMorning folks, So, BTC stands in upside channel, and we have no big patterns by far. Meantime, on 4H chart as potential ones, we could suggest the butterfly, right? While on 1H chart we have DRPO "Sell" (in red circle) and a kind of H&S shape. It is just a shape, but who said that market can't keep it harmony? Thus, 98-98.5 seems interesting level, if you would like to go long. For short position we see nothing interesting on higher time frames, thus, only DRPO "Sell" here and with minimal target around 98.5K

Give market more timeMorning folks, Just we've stopped talking about downside reaction on 102K target - it immediately has happened. As we're going slowly to Xmas time, managers and investors start thinking about holidays and payouts. So, activity on the market will slow. Second is BTC is overbought on monthly chart and completed major target. Such a combination tells that it should be either down or sideways action in nearest time. Since monthly is very big time frame, reaction might be extended in time. So, we just need to do market time to express this reaction. It now stands in release stage. So, the first thing - we should not hurry up with a new position, no matter in what direction. Do you see something interesting here, on 4H chart? That's it and I see nothing. Second is - we should wait for clear patterns without any worry that we will miss the chance. Patterns should be extended and well recognisable, such as H&S on daily for example: Or something of this kind. So, be patient.

127K is the next oneMorning folks, So, today is not too many things to comment - our 102K target is done perfectly, as well as entry process setup. Now we need to give some time to the market and see what the reaction will follow on this level. Reasons for reaction exist - monthly and weekly Overbought, strong and important 100K target. So at this point I wouldn't hurry up with the new long position. Based on monthly chart next all time target is 127K. It doesn't mean that BTC will go to it immediately, but this is just the next one to consider, when you plan to invest or buy BTC for long-term some day later:

Watching for 93.5K supportMorning folks, Last time we've taken a pause, because of Holiday and some uncertainty as market could form three different patterns. Now the amount of candidates is reduced, so, we could speak more specifically. In fact, minor upside action that has happened last week, increase chances for upside butterfly. But, since action is relatively slow, we prefer to use lowest Fib support to consider position taking. 93.5K looks to be OK for this. Besides, this is trend line of broken triangle. Invalidation point of this scenario is lows at 90.5K level. So, not too big risk. If BTC breaks it - we get deeper downside action of a larger scale. In fact, this will erase the butterfly. Upside target is the same 102K.

Too many patterns to suggestMorning folks, Surprisingly, but BTC has not come to 102K target directly. Despite a lot of panic headlines in media about 8+% drop - nothing awful has happened. Very small retracement and inside week. In some way 102K target will be reached, no doubts. But right now it is impossible to say in what particular way this will happen. As there are too many patterns that we could suggest. Here, on the chart we already have three of them. On daily chart it might be another two. Keeping it simple, the concern is about how BTC will go higher - either right now or after deeper retracement. Since today a Holiday and we will have a weekend soon, we think it would be better do not hurry up and postpone everything until Monday. There might be some clarity.

The same 100-102K target in focusMorning folks, So, our suggestion that BTC is aimed on 100K and will keep going to it directly seems was correct. J. Yellen resigned, and it was another positive news for BTC. Anyway, currently we see no reasons to change our trading plan. On daily chart we have bullish grabber, suggesting upward continuation. So, it is just a few steps until the target. We suggest that some pattern could finalize this action. It might be either butterfly or 3-Drive - they have different shape but the same target. Invalidation point for this setup is 95K lows. THis is for those who trade on intraday charts. For, greater setups we need to wait for reaction on 100K target. We do not exclude the chance of moderate pullback, so something bearish might be formed there. Let's keep watching.

Going to 102KToday, guys we show you the longest and shortest our charts. First one is a monthly time frame, and it shows strategical targets, and the nearest one is 102K. Pay attention that price is coming to historical record of overbought level. This combination significantly increases the retracement chances once 102K target will be reached. Still, on 1H chart BTC accurately completed our 98K target - butterfly and 3-Drive patterns. Although downside retracement here is also possible, thus minimal butterfly target is 3/8 pullback to 96.50K area. But we do not expect that retracement will become more extended. The attractiveness and magic of 100K level strongly acts on the minds of investors, so by all efforts BTC will tend to touch 100K area

Keep watching for 99-102KMorning folks, Since last week BTC has reached a solid target/resistance area together with weekly Overbought (where it still stands) we have considered two scenarios - either immediate downside pullback via H&S pattern, or attempt to touch major 102K target first and then the pullback. Now it seems that everything goes with the latter scenario. H&S shape on 4H chart is totally ruined. while our 3-Drive stands well and its final part could take the shape of the butterfly. We see nothing interesting for bears by far. But for bulls, if you will control the riks and 86K lows, which is invalidation point of this bullish scenario - everything could be fine.

102K is the next oneGreetings everybody, So, BTC is taking important targets one by one. 85 all-time AB=CD target already is behind and next one is 102K. NOw price stands between them, but BTC is not at overbought on monthly chart, so potentially it could keep moving higher. THe major intrigue right now is the retracement. Whether BTC shows response to 85K target and then will turn to 102K or, it will go to 102K directly and after that will start the pullback... Based on performance we suggest that attempt to reach 102K has more chances now. Thus, we bring you the chart with potential 3-Drive pattern that could finalize this action. If you would like to wait for deeper retracement and don't rely on 3-Drive, then your option is potential 4H H&S pattern and ~80K support on average to watch for: Our opinion that 3-Drive has better chances to happen, but we will see... We consider no shorts by far.

85-88K is the next oneMorning folks, So, BTC has made a historical breakout. But for those who read our monthly report it is not a surprise. This is long term game and the pumping process is just starting. If you want to know what is really going on - you could read it. Meantime, we consider 85-88K as the next upside target. If BTC will show pullback prior it will reach it, then 73K seems like interesting level to consider for long entry. If pullback will start after 85-88K will be completed - then do not hurry up with position taking as retracement might be deeper. We do not consider any short positions for now.

Watching for market reactionMorning everybody, So, recent sell-off on stock market and rally of the US yields have made pressure as on Gold as on BTC but thankfully it was short term. Still, BTC has dropped to the level that we've discussed last time - 67.5-68K. Why is it so special? First is, it stands around the all-time trend line resistance that recently has been broken up. Second is - the K-support level, which makes it rather strong and a great indicator of market's power. From bullish point of view, we do not want BTC to drop back below it, breaking 65K lows down. At the same time, with elections hysteria environment we suggest to not take any position without confirming patterns. So, our trading plan is to wait for market response to this level. Once we get more or less clear patterns, we could act...

78.6K is the next one to upsideMorning folks, So, our " signal level" of ~68.6-69K has been broken and bullish setup has been set. Those who have used Stop "buy" entry orders should have good results. Now the trading process is relatively simple. All that you need to do is to control 68.6-69K area. Because you do not want to see bearish reversal swing on BTC and drop back under long-term former resistance area again. Other words, 68.6-69K is an invalidation point for current bullish action. So, if you intend to buy, you could consider 70.5K and 68.6K levels

69.3-69.5K is a key to the next directionMorning folks, So, last time we said to not hurry up with the new long entry and then BTC has re-tested our 65.5K support area where we got nice long entry earlier. At first glance BTC looks nice bullish performance, but it is clearly slowing. D. Trump crypto programme has done its job and totally priced-in. Its impact is exhausting. If D. Trump will take the office we could get jump in a moment, but it mostly will be a psychological reaction. Now we would say that both directions have approx. similar chances. We have bullish and bearish patterns on different time scales. Thus, we suggest that 69.3-69.50K area will be the key to the next stop. Upside breakout will lead BTC to action above 70K+ while "222" Sell, if it will work, probably will trigger deeper downside retracement. So, make your bets with this issue in mind.

Not hurry up with a new longMorning folks, So, Monday's setup is done perfect, we've got long entry around 66K support area as we've planned. But next step currently is not evident. The point is that the retracement starts across the board - DXY, FX, Gold, Bonds etc... BTC in recent few weeks had a bit special performance. And mostly it was moving higher on D. Trump crypto programme. Currently we wouldn't hurry up with a new long entry. Those who bought around 66K could keep positions with breakeven stops.

66K support as the 1st chance to buyMorning folks, So, the journey to 68-69K target is over. Daily AB-CD is completed, right at the trendline resistance on weekly/daily time frame. This target agrees with intraday XOP of our reverse H&S. Since BTC has its own driver - D. Trump promises to make America BTC great again - this lets it to move against the wind, together with gold. But drivers are different. Now we're watching for pullback to 66K support area first. This is the first area where potentially market could turn up again. Next upside target is 70.35K.

70.3K is a nearest targetMorning folks, So, BTC nows shows good bullish context. Downside action was limited with our AB=CD. Due to couple of bullish grabbers on weekly chart we consider 70.3K Top as the nearest target. On intraday charts we consider 62-63.5 and 61.15K Fib levels as potentially interesting for entry. It is just unclear in what manner the pullback happens. Big reverse H&S pattern is more in favor of 61.15K area, while gradual minor retracement could point on 62-63K... Overall context bullish and we do not consider any bearish positions by far.

62K for entry 57.8K for targetMorning folks, So BTC has failed to break the vital 64.5K resistance that we've talked about last time. It means that context remains bearish and chances on downside AB=CD have increased. Especially on the back of outstanding rally in USD and US yields. It makes us to consider no long positions by far, treat former 64.5 top as invalidation point and watch south. Nearest downside target seems to be around 57.8K. For position taking it is possible to consider 62K intraday resistance, if you have plans to sell. For long position taking we need to get either failure of current bearish scenario and rally above 64.5K top or deeper standing support areas. We have nothing yet, so let's wait with any longs by far.

BTC is a victim of liquidity problemsMorning folks, So, we've planned just perfect last time, and BTC actually has dropped but much faster than we thought. It was not even able to form the right arm of H&S pattern and collapsed. But don't search the explanation on cryptomarket. The reasons are more pragmatic - short-term liquidity fall in the US. First is BofA collapse yesterday, then SOFR rate has jumped above RRP. Sea ports are under strike, which also bring a mess in mutual relations of all counterparts. So, current BTC drop is a pure run into liquidity. We do not know when it will be over, hopefully soon. But now we do not consider any longs and prefer follow to the market and see what reaction will be around strong support areas. Next one is 58K
