BTCUSD --Chart speaks for itself. We are in the downward channel and ranging. If we can break the resistance line (~13500) then we can expect to see some upward movement. But we may need to retest the support again briefly. If not, there is a good chance that we can fall into 9900-7000 range where there is a strong support. If we do, it would be a very good time to buy..I hate the idea of shorting BTC but if you consider making some profit in this bear market, you will have options to do so.
One thing that I want to point out is that people think we are currently in the correction. Yes it is true, but there is a good chance that we may be getting into a bearish market and we may be in there for a while.I know it is hard to accept the fact. But we need to understand the difference between correction and bear market, and plan out carefully our trading strategies and expectations accordingly. Although I hate to admit, I think we are very much getting into a bear market, and we will be there for some time (hopefully not long). But I think it is healthy for BTC to go through this. Maybe it is time for alt coins to shine. I believe once people accept this fact, alts will be less affected with the BTC movement and there will be a lot of great trading opportunities. But again, I might be completely wrong, because no one really knows what BTC can really do.
As always trade at your own risk and do your own research.. If you are not sure, just HODL and enjoy the Christmas break !!!
