BTC/USD Analysis
I maintained a bearish bias yesterday and was proved to be correct, as the price has continued to fall. The bearish trend line shown in the price chart yesterday was broken to the upside, but a new bearish trend line can be drawn which suppresses the price. The price also sold off yesterday at the round number of $8,000 which is another bearish sign, and there remains a clear long-term bearish trend in all major cryptocurrencies. For these reasons I am very comfortable having a bearish bias on Bitcoin going forward. Recent hours have seen the price reach $7,500 and it is possible this psychological level may produce some support. However, I look a little lower for a potential bullish bounce, at the old support level of $6,811.
It is worth noting that only 4 months we were hearing from lost of foolish people about how Bitcoin was on its way to $100,000 etc. yet the price is now about 65% off its high made in December. It was a bubble, but it might reflate, though it probably has further to go first.
There is nothing due today concerning the USD.
