BTC: Latest Trends

in #btc5 years ago (edited)

BTC is a slave to trends.


This is true for most assets of most asset classes, but it never ceases to amaze me just how many trends there are!


I guess that's what makes TA so tricky - picking the right ones.

For today's post I want to show you the price trends I'm watching now. Tomorrow I will discuss another kind of BTC trend, not directly related to price.

Note: We are still working through teething errors on our new TIMM platform. The team are doing a great job, but please bear with us if posts don't look 100% as they should.

BTC: Latest Trends


Price movements


A little while ago all eyes were on the big red arrow as BTC hit now 2018 lows. That trend was broken by an upswing, which itself broke out of it's upwards trend and started to plunge downwards. At that stage I thought (hoped) that we were going to see final capitulation and head back to the bullish territory, sadly that was not to be. Instead, BTC climbed again and just widened the borders of the channel it is now climbing in.

Interesting to note though, and this often occurs on charts, several short-term price movements within a trend tend to run parallel with the direction of the greater trend. Look at this chart again:


It's important to note that I still expect to see a new 2018 BTC ATL soon! To confirm what I am saying, look at the volume over the last few days. It's dropping steadily and significantly. That means only one thing, price is going to drop! (Volume is a great predictor of price drop movements before they happen!)

I love the chart, if price is going to move higher, must take out the $4380 level first on your chart.

Not with the volume dropping like that. As is now already happening, price is going down!

The question regarding volumes is whether it is short sellers stopping and covering or the lack of buyers... It will likely determine how steep the fall will be...

Such a steady decline seems to suggest the latter to me. What do you think?

Yes but the lack of volume could also signal failure to commit by short sellers...

Oh well, back to the old "wait and see" I guess!
