The June 11 decline in the Bitcoin price confirmed weakness in the ongoing bullish trend and made it very likely that the BTC price has been trading in a Wyckoff distribution pattern between $8500 – $10,050 since April 29.
The pattern will be confirmed by a decline below $8,500, indicating that a longer-term correction has begun.
Breaking Down the Wyckoff DistributionThe stages of the Wyckoff distribution are explained in text and shown in the image below:
Preliminary Supply (PSY)– After a pronounced upward move, bullish volume is at its highest. Large sellers begin to unload their assets. Buying Climax (BC) – While the price makes a higher high, volume is considerably lower. This area is likely to act as resistance in the future. Automatic Reaction (AR) – heavy selling after the buying climax, which defines the lower boundary of the range. Volume is higher than during the buying climax. Secondary Test (ST) – An upward move that fails to reach the highs of the buying climax. Upthrust (UT) – The upper boundary is broken, but the price gets rejected on extremely high volume, falling back within the range. Last Point Of Supply (LPS) – Feeble bounces without considerable volume. Show Of Weakness (SOW) – The range low is broken, and the price moves downwards. Volume should pick up during the ensuing downward move. BTC Chart By TradingviewIn the chart above, we have the PSY on April 29, BC on May 7, AR on May 11, ST on May 14 and finally the UT on June 2. The volume pattern is exactly as it should be according to the distribution. In particular, it was higher during the bearish candlesticks and the rejection following the UT.
If the pattern continues to develop, BTC will initially drop towards the AR at $8,500, then gradually move upwards on low volume towards $10,000, and then decline, with small bounces (LPSY). From here, it’s highly unlikely to halt the downward momentum. The SOW below $8,500 should confirm the pattern.
Alternative ScenarioThere is another possibility in which there is an upthrust after distribution, which would create another high, but that is less common.
BTC Chart By TradingviewWell-known trader @CryptoCapo_ believes that this is a Wyckoff distribution indeed, and will be confirmed with a three-day candlestick close below $8,500:
Nothing has changed here, it just took a little longer. Distribution confirmation: 3D candle closing below $8.5k Distribution invalidation: consolidation + continuation above the range high If confirmed, the important supports are: $7k, $6k, $4.5k, $3k, $2k and $1k
Source: Twitter Long-Term MovementIn the longer-term, we can see that BTC has broken down from an ascending support line that had been in place since March 13. This is another sign that suggests the upward move for BTC has ended.
In addition, since the price often validates the support line it broke down from, this gives us a time-line for the possible highs in the re-test of the range resistance.
If the ST test occurs (first image in the previous section), the high cannot be reached earlier than June 20, since that would breach the rising support line.
If the UTAD test occurs (second image), the high shouldn’t be reached before July 2, since that would invalidate the rising support line.
After the possible breakdown, the first area of reversal can be found at $7,100 – the 0.5 Fib level of the entire upward move.
