The $5000 barrier

アップデート済

Zooming out to the daily chart makes we wonder if it will take a while to crack the $5000 barrier. Psychologically it is a very significant number: Half way to $10000, a very nice round number.

Using correlations with random charts is not TA, but this one makes my superstitious brain wonder: twitter.com/JamieSaettele/status/904062293230669824

Now BTC has touched the long term uptrend line.

ノート

These drops are habit now?

ノート

Let's see if this fractal plays out over the next days:

ノート

We reached $4630 and bounced. BTC is currently testing support at $4480.

ノート

Seems to form a wedge. Currently, I expect another push to $4700 and then a dip to $4300.

ノート

Looks like the bottom is in. ETH has broken out of the downtrend, so BTC should follow soon.

ノート

RSI divergence is a sign of reversal.

ノート

I guess ETH just really needed that bounce at $200. Amazing reversal. And just like that BTC looks quite bullish again.

ノート

That bullish wedge kinda realized, but lost too much steam.

ノート

$3400 still looks likely.

ノート

Did not reach $3400, but maybe another downswing comes. Meanwhile it forms a bullish wedge on a larger timeframe.

ノート

Some chinese whale bought a big amount of BTC in OKCoin and started a little rally. Still, the volume is not enough for a big rally. It turned our wedge in a bull flag, though. That bull flag should retrace to $3400.

ノート

Back over $4000. Half way to $5000 from $3000 three days ago.

ノート

Currently forming another bull flag. After a third impulse, we often see a larger correction.

ノート

Oy, that breakout failed. Time to decide, Bitcoin.

ノート

Bitcoin rejected at the downtrend line, so the downtrend continues.

That $5000 barrier is far far away now.

ノート

ETH has closed above its downtrend line, but BTC is still below.

ノート

Breakout. Has the downtrend officially ended? I would like to see more volume.

ノート

BTC seems to be due for a correction now.

However, ETH looks due for another push and they correlate...

ノート

A bounce at $4000 it pretty important. If support breaks there, we might drop a lot lower.

ノート

To break through $4400 will probably some serious volume.

ノート

BTC needs some upwards push soon or we have ended that uptrend.

ノート

At this point it looks totally ambiguous to me.

ノート

The market realized that Bitcoin Gold and Segway2x hardforks are coming. People imagine a similar win like with Bitcoin Cash and everybody buys BTC. People even dump their alts. This could lead well beyond $5000.
