"Is this the bottom?" "Are we at the start of a new uptrend?!" "Bitcoin to 100k EOY 2018?!?!"
I will try to answer all of these questions...
First, we are NOT at the start of anything yet, because there has been no confirmation made.
On the daily chart, we haven't even made a higher high! If you follow the black trendlines, it basically forms a descending triangle. There may be a newer uptrend line that can be drawn since we have had higher lows the past couple months, but what is the SLOPE of that line?
... It looks pretty weak to me. More like a bear flag than a breakout.
But, anything is possible! Could we reverse from here? Sure. But, have we gotten any confirmation yet? I don't think we have. Sure, Altcoins are booming, but has bitcoin even broke 7k? Has bitcoin even broken the larger downtrend line of lower highs? Nope.
Alas, there is my chart. I have drawn historic support levels in blue, and historic resistance levels in red.
- The Green Box is where price will re-test the trend line for lower highs. Breaking that is the first step.
- Next is the Pink Box. If we break that area, I do believe we will be safely in bullish territory for at least the remainder of Q4.
- The Yellow Boxes are local supports, that I think price will likely retest with a vengeance at some point.
- The Blue Box is the massive base support. I don't think we go lower than that, if we do break 3k, my days will lose color and my life will suck.
Thank you all, let's enjoy the show!! Be careful about opening positions in between support and resistance zones!
But if you practice good risk management, I believe there is still some time to catch these altcoin profits!
Good luck investors and traders :)
