All eyes are on Bitcoin and where it will go next. After
failing to retest $8,000 over the past day, a downside move is looking more
likely and Fibonacci levels could be key places to find support zones.
Bitcoin Consolidation Before a Big Move
Over the past 24 hours or so Bitcoin has started trading sideways between $7,900 and $7,500. During Asian trading this morning it had recovered slightly from that intraday low to reach $7,850 or thereabouts. Failure to retest $8k could be a signal that further losses are imminent and the next major level of support lies around $7,600.
Fibonacci levels have been key in seeking support and
resistance zones for Bitcoin, and crypto assets. There are several pullback areas to watch and
the Fib retracement tool can point them out. Crypto trader Josh Rager has been
doing the charts and plotting them;
“Bitcoin is sitting at the 0.236 fib. The lowest I see Bitcoin pulling back is the .618 fib ($5404) as any lower would be bearish, IMO. Major confluence w/ previous support/resistance between $6109 to $6814. I’m personally watching for a bounce in this area with major interest near $6400.”
He added that Bitcoin is in a condensing price range which
could lead to another volatile move soon. These figures all tie in with the
30%+ correction that many analysts are now expecting. A drop from Bitcoin’s
recent high would land it right in the middle of this range at $6,300.
Trader and economist Alex Krüger concurred in an earlier tweet
commenting that anything between $6,800 and $6,200 would be a ‘gigantic buying
area’ adding;
“6800 is major, determined by all three price action, moving averages (50DMA) and fibs (Dec lows to 2019 highs). 6400 is the bull market level.”
Crypto sentiment has now switched from uber bullish to confident
that the correction will be healthy. Many traders and analysts are actually willing
BTC to drop so that they can load up on it at a better price. Those in it
for the long haul can buy Bitcoin now and not worry about where prices will be
later this year. The bull
run has already been established by the positive signals on a number of
various long term technical indicators.
At the time of writing Bitcoin was trading at $7,880, back
to its daily high but still down 9 percent on the week. Moving averages and Fib
levels will be key indicators as to where it is going next.
