Bitcoin's Candle Close Today Is Significant - Here's Why.

6 авг.

Traders,

Just want to take a minute to focus on two items from my chart.

First, you will notice that yesterday we dropped from our bull flag and nearly re-tested my 48,415 neckline from that inverse head and shoulders pattern we have been tracking. I had stated in yesterday's video that I assumed we would re-test the neckline much sooner and that since we didn't re-test earlier that maybe the bull channel would hold price up and inside of it until the bulls gained enough momentum to break to the upside.

So far, the bull channel has held. The wicks poking down and through the bottom side of the channel aren't as significant as a body close below the channel. But yesterday's wick down can pass as a re-test of the neckline, though a body touch and close would be most positive.

At any rate, you can see that the market is conflicted at the moment. The body of yesterday's candle closed slightly below the bottom of our channel, indicating that the market was ready to sell down further on any whisper of FUD. And today's body thus far is just slightly above the bottom of our channel though the candle formation itself is bearish.

All this indicates at the moment that further selling remains a priority for the market pending news. Unless there is positive news and a strong close on today's candle back inside of our channel, we can expect that there will be more selling to come. On the other hand, a strong bullish move to the upside today and close inside of our channel may indicate that buyers are ready. However, make no mistake, the move must be strong and the candle close must give us another percent or two.

Watch closely.
