The entire market got shaken up today as the combined market valuation took a sudden dip after Coinmarketcap.com decided to stop factoring in several Korean exchanges' prices into their averages. This resulted in a quick drop in market capitalization, which had already been artificially inflated by these outlier numbers. In turn many uninformed investors may have believed that the market was about to experience a sell off and panic sold their coins.

The rest of us just did what we always do - HODL!

Today I used three trading tools and indicators: Bollinger Bands, Stochastics and MACD.

Bollinger Bands indicated we are below the moving average which is around $15,000

Stochastics show that we are slightly oversold and falling further into oversold territory.

The MACD is signaling a bearish crossover while still stagnating under the zero line.

ALL VERY BEARISH INDICATORS SHORT TERM!

Likely Scenarios:

  • BTC continues to fall testing that $13-13.5K support level again.
  • BTC finds some support in the low $14-14.5K zone until it can regain strength and go back to the mid $15K range.
  • BTC regains some volumes by the end of tonight and is attempting $16K again.

TLDR Version:

Expect Bitcoin to be rather bearish today with support zones lying somewhere between $13K-14.5K. Alt-coins are still slowly sucking BTC dry as high fees and congestion continue to plague the network. It will take SERIOUS volumes to break past the $15.5K zone and attempt $16K again by tonight.

Price Target:

  • $15,500

Alt-Coins To Watch:

  • ADA (good entry)
  • TRX (good entry)
  • IOTA (good entry)
  • ETH (showing strength)
  • NEO (showing strength)
  • XVG (showing strength)
  • RPX (wild card)

*Never invest more than you are willing to lose and always do your own research before making any investment decisions.

You should learn how to cost average yourself in. That is the best technique to allow yourself gradual gains while alleviating the feeling of FOMO. I believe all cryptos have room to grow and will continue to for some time.
