• We are already back down below 8'400.

• It seems analysts are right and we see more downside. All analysts except @lordoftruth see lower targets coming.

News about the blog

• I need to revise my 2018 long term table. I need to add a 2018 and 2019 target an be more precise on the sentiment here. Will do that after I am back in Switzerland.

Analysts key statements:

Tone:

• Weekly: Looks very similar to 2014 - we went into 30 MA after bouncing of the 50 MA. In 2014 we had 2 weeks of flat prices following. MACD continuous to go down.
• Daily: Another death cross 128 - 50 MA is expected. No bullish momentum without established higher high (bitcoin over 10'000). His target of 8'000 will be reached just later - moved arrow.
  
  -4hr: Is only chart looking bullish.

@haejin:

Bitcoin price action has marked out the five wave impulse trajectory. Five waves are followed by an ABC (red) correction. The blue abc are the subwaves of red A and if blue c is complete, a red B wave bounce should occure.

Alternate: The pattern is that of a downward wedge and could represent the full correction (abcde) followed by a breakout to higher highs.

@ew-and-patterns:

This move up looks like a flat correction. He favors the alternate count in brackets (ABC) over the previous ABCDE count. He is seeing three waves down, which means that it can't be the end of the correction.
So if BTC reaches 9000 +-300 and starts crashing hard, see this as confirmation for the ABC count.

Alternate:
The bounce off this trendline could indicate that the correction is over. He still thinks it is not over though.

@lordoftruth:

Bitcoin price is most likely ready for a rally at this stage (downside limited to 7'925).
He sees to iSHS patterns in the making. One on the 1h and one on the 4H. Both support price target of 11'250.


Breaking crucial support 7'770 will invalidate his scenario and lead to decline below 6'519.

Todays trend is slightly bullish. Trading between 7'925 and 8'643.

@philakonesteemit:

BTC finishes 5 beautiful waves and has retraced near the 0.382 region thus far.
A break above 8'468 can build a rally to 8'750. A possible B could be in progress very soon, heading up to 8'426 at the 0.786 range before completing C to the indicated range below.

@passion-ground:

The current move up thus far, is clearly corrective… - Unless of course, this modest move higher is a most bullish nested series of 1st and 2nd wave advances. Time will tell, and as such, the utmost in patience and due diligence is required in order to ascertain the true intent and implications of this recent rally off the 7'929 print low.
