Bitcoin Price Analysis
BTC/USD – Daily CHART – SHORT TERM
Market Overview
Taking a look at the daily chart above, we can clearly see Bitcoin struggling at the $6,800 level which caused it to roll over and drop. It attempted to find support at the lower boundary of the price channel yesterday but failed to hold this level and dropped beneath this support in today’s trading session.
The cryptocurrency is now trading at short term support provided by a .382 Fibonacci Retracement level at $6,106 but a drop beneath this is likely to send the market much further lower.
Short term prediction: NEUTRAL/BEARISH
Bitcoin remains neutral but is in extreme danger of turning bearish if we break beneath $6,100. If this is the case, we can expect support toward the downside at $6,000, $5,786 (short term .5 Fib Retracement), $5,636 (downside 1.414 Fib Extension), and $5,467 (.618 Fib Retracement).
On the other side, resistance lies at $6,400, $6,542 (bearish .5 Fib Retracement), $6,800, and $7,000.
