BTC/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that the picture was now relatively bullish but of course with such a strong increase in volatility, we were also likely to get deep pullbacks. I thought the price would probably need to stabilize before it would advance again firmly. This wasn’t the right call as the price did advance again, and again reached prices above the psychologically important $5,000 level. There is a new higher probable support level, and the price action is bullish, so it probably makes sense to look for long trades here today above $4,836 but of course it may take some more time before the bulls can really exceed the $5,000 area which is capped at $5,187.
There is nothing of high importance due today concerning the USD.
