Bitcoin Price Chart Turns Bullish, What Does This Mean for BTC/USD? - DailyFX

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 11:31 AM PST

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Chart Forecast:

  • Bitcoin has continued to slip since last week, testing the area beneath longstanding support
  • However, an inverse head and shoulders pattern on the 4-hour chart could suggest gains are ahead
  • While the near-term outlook has turned bullish, the longer-term downtrend may remain intact

Bitcoin Price Chart Turns Bullish, What Does This Mean for BTC/USD?

After suffering weeks of losses, the outlook for Bitcoin may have just turned bullish with the formation of an inverse head and shoulders pattern. Employing a band of support from May as the neckline, brief probes beneath $7,000 have created two shoulders and a head – creating an almost textbook formation of the bullish indicator. Since inverse head and shoulder patterns typically denote a bottom, Bitcoin could enjoy a brief respite from its longer-term downtrend, but it becomes a question of how far, and for how long, Bitcoin bulls will push the cryptocurrency – if at all.

Bitcoin Price Chart: 4 - Hour Time Frame (November 11 – November 27) (Chart 1)

Given the distance between the top of the neckline and the head, it could be argued the formation may drive Bitcoin as high as $8,100 – but this is far from certain. Further still, traders typically look for a surge in volume to accompany the initial break above the neckline, an aspect that could have been stronger in this particular instance. Still, amidst a bleak outlook, the formation should be a welcome sign for believers in the largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

That being said, I still maintain my bearish bias for the coin's medium-term outlook. To that end, Bitcoin's presence beneath support that I previously highlighted at $7,000 and $6,500 – albeit brief – speaks to the continued strength of bears.

The NZD/USD snaps two consecutive days of gains, down 0.15%, amid a positive market mood. The US ADP employment report was dismal, though it barely influenced the US dollar. NZD/USD is downward biased, and failure to break above a downslope trendline opened the door for the YTD low. The New Zealand dollar climbs but retreats from weekly highs around 0.6662 after mixed than foreseen NZ jobs report released in the Asian session.

The US ADP Employment report was ignored by investors as they prepare for Friday's NFP An hour and a half before Wall Street's opened, the ADP Jobs report was released.

Wyckoff Method: Rules, Accumulation, and Distribution - Investopedia

Legendary technician Richard Wyckoff wrote about financial markets in the early decades of the 20th century at the same time as did Charles Dow, Jesse Livermore, and other iconic market analysis figures. His pioneering approach to technical analysis known as the Wyckoff Method has survived into the modern era. It continues to guide traders and investors in the best ways to pick winning stocks, the most advantageous times to buy them, and the most effective risk management techniques to use. Wyckoff's observations on price action coalesced into what's known as the Wyckoff market cycle. It's a theory that outlines key elements in price trend development that are marked by periods of accumulation and distribution. Four distinct phases comprise the cycle: accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown. Wykoff also defined rules to use in conjunction with these phases. These rules can further help to identify the location and significance of price within the broad s...
