Bitcoin Price Charts Echo Pattern Seen Before 2015 Bull Market


Bitcoin’s drop from a record high of $20,000 clocked in December 2017 has ended up creating a falling channel similar to the one created in the 18 months leading up to the long term bullish reversal seen in October 2015.
 If the same sequence of events unfolds, BTC could see a channel breakout later this year.
 An early move out of the falling channel cannot be ruled out, but may not yield stronger rally while the crucial 21week moving average is trending south.
The short term bullish view put forward by the long tailed doji candle created on Feb. 27 would gain credence if prices break above $4,040 in the next 24 hours, validating the bullish outside reversal candle on the three day chart.

 That would open the doors to re-test of recent highs near $4,200.
 A repeated failure to break above $4,040 could end up fueling a pullback to immediate support at $3,927 (March 17 low). Bitcoin’s (BTC) 14 month bear market has ended up creating a similar price pattern to one that paved the way for a bull run in 2015.
 The cryptomarket leader is currently trading at $4,030 on Bitstamp, having hit a low of $3,122 in December.

 Despite the recovery rally, the price is still down 79.85 percent from the record high of $20,000 reached in December 2017.
 Throughout the sell off, the cryptocurrency has charted a series of lower highs and lower lows, known as descending channel in technical parlance.
 Bitcoin produced a similar pattern during the previous bear market witnessed in 2014 2015.
 More importantly, the upside break of that falling channel, confirmed in October 2015, was followed by a two year bull market. Therefore, a potential upside break of the latest falling channel could be considered a sign of a long term bearish-to bullish trend change.
Weekly line chart


As can be seen above, the price action seen over the last 14 months looks very similar to that seen in 2014 and early 2015.
 The previous bear market had stalled with the 14-week relative strength index (RSI) hitting oversold levels below 30 in January 2015. Similarly, the sell-off from the record high of $20,000 hit in December 2017 also ran out of steam with the RSI falling below 30 in December 2018.
 So, if history repeats itself, the cryptocurrency may see a sustained channel breakout later this year. An early move above the upper edge of the channel, currently at $4,070, could be seen as several indicators are flashing early signs of bullish reversal.
Further, BTC is trading just below the breakout price at press time.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
