The 2018-2019 BTC bear market is a story of leveraged hope and devastation, of greed and liquidation. This is what I'd like to see to be bullish again on BTCUSD
Clearly defined 2 left shoulders, 1 head, first right shoulder, and 2nd right shoulder in formation. Volume indicates that bears are taking control.
The massive bull run of 2017 gives some context for the slow bleed of BTCUSD in 2018. While the failure of the parabolic advance in '13-'14 retraced more than 80%, the 2018 bear market has only retraced 61.8%, providing an argument for BTCUSD sinking further to $4000 as the bears continue to show dominance. I am not an expert, and this is not investment advice.
A bounce in price action may indicate reversal of a trend, but we need to see increasing volume to confirm the the reversal. Without confirmation from volume, we are seeing a low-confidence bounce.
