BTC/USD and BTC/JPY Forecast - 10 May 2018

He writes about Forex for several online publications, including FX Empire, Investing.com, and his own site, aptly named The Trader Guy. Chris favours technical analysis methods to identify his trades and likes to trade equity indices and commodities as well as Forex. He favours a longer-term trading style, and his trades often last for days or weeks.

BTC/USD

The Bitcoin market initially fell against the US dollar on Wednesday but found enough support near the $9000 level to turn around and form a positive candle. The positive candle of course suggests that we could rally again, reaching towards the $10,000 level. We have been consolidating between the $9000 level on the bottom and the $10,000 level above, and the action on Wednesday only reinforced this situation. The market breaking above the $10,000 level could release Bitcoin to go looking towards the $12,000 level, which has been resistance previously. Ultimately, if we were to break down below the $9000 level, it could release this market down to the $8000 level. I anticipate that there are a lot of back-and-forth moves left in this market, so I think that short-term range bound trading is probably going to be what we continue to see. However, we have a couple of obvious levels that could throw more money into the market, such as a break above the previously mentioned resistance barrier, or of course a breakdown below the $9000 level that allows this market to drop to $8000 next.

BTC/JPY

Bitcoin also rallied against the Japanese yen during the day on Wednesday, using the ¥1 million level as support, and of course an attraction level. I think that the market is probably going to try to break towards the ¥1.1 million level, which clearing that level opens the door to the top of the major consolidation level at the ¥1.25 million level. If we were to break down below the ¥900,000 level, then I think the market drops down to the ¥700,000 level. This is essentially the middle of the overall consolidation area, but that means that we could go in either direction.
