Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis
Long-Term Analysis
The bitcoin price is actually showing increased volatility, while recognizing a resistance at the $12,000 level, and a support near $9,000. If action keeps moving between this 3,000 basis point stage, the Hope phase from Mass Psychology Analysis would be safe, giving way to Optimism. If and when values overcome $12,000, the bullish consensus should favor the transferring of the mentioned 3,000 points up to $15,000.
On the other hand, an effective distribution pattern seems to be taking place on the chart, melting down the trend to $6,000 in case the $9,000 support level gets broken. This could re-activate the former Disbelief phase — depending on fundamentals, news and political factors.
Mid-Term Analysis
Mathematical Indicators flipped down again, reinforcing the lateral development action between $9,000 and $12,000 — while volatility increases to swing the quotes up and down dangerously.
A strong resistance remains at the $14,000 level, and an intermediate one at $12,000 could work as a psychological trigger for the general will, favoring the action to follow the uptrend in the background frame.
On the other hand, if prices brake down to $10,000 the sideways movement could shift down to re-enter the former lateral market between $9,000 and $7,000, canceling temporarily the upper targets.
Short-Term Analysis
Mixing Elliott Wave Theory with Bollinger Bands Analysis and Japanese Candlestick Analysis’ Fairy images, demand’s Soldiers seem to be strong enough to balance offer’s Crows’ distribution power into an imaginary battlefield that settles between $10,000 and $12,000.
Prices, if crossed to the upper band, could take control of the action to show muscle while sustaining the lateral market for the first of the two months necessary to defend the background bullish trend. If Crows prevail in the distribution action, the activity could get locked in for two months between $9,000 and $7,000.
