Bitcoin BTC January 28 Evening Update - The Bears Regain Control

Bulls Lack Sufficient Conviction To Break Into Bullish Territory. Please keep in mind my blogs/videos are geared towards day-traders unless "long term" specifically is mentioned in the video or title

We see on the BTCUSDSHORT table that within the past 48 hours, the amount of shorts have more than doubled from 8K BTC to 19K BTC short positions.

We see the RSI on the 2 HR chart and up being unable to break above key RSI levels near 60 that have acted as major resistances.

We see the sloped trend line resistance and sloped support reach a critical apex that breaks down. There was a previous resistance and like all resistances, once broken, becomes support. We broke down at the apex to this support region and now wonder if it will hold.

This is a likely case where an apex point can decide a break.

We see on a 3 HR chart, we are slightly bouncing off the 55 EMA, which I can see breaking down within 12 hours.

The most likely case in my opinion is reaching this apex based on multiple trend line supports and resistances, where a decisive trend will be made to one of these regions. As reactive traders, we must anticipate these movements and play as price action dictates trend.

We see the daily MACD crossover, though it is certainly possible to start bearishly diverging with a curvature such as this.

A bull scenario would be this support does hold, and we break to fib levels 382 @ $12,170 or 0.5 fib level @ $13,116. Though I do not see this happening.

Always be cautious, take high probability trades, plan entries and exits, stick to high reward low risk R:R setups. Good luck traders
