Bitcoin Bounces at SupportWhile BTC decreased considerably yesterday, falling to a low of $44,892, it managed to bounce at the 0.5 Fib retracement level. It created a long lower wick in the process — a common sign of buying pressure.
BTC has continued its ascent today, so far reaching a high of $51,357.
While the MACD, RSI, and Stochastic oscillator have lost strength, they still show a positive reading. The RSI has even generated a hidden bullish divergence. This is a strong signal for trend continuation.
BTC Chart By TradingViewThe two-hour chart shows that despite the bounce, BTC is still following a short-term descending resistance line. This line coincides with the 0.5 Fib retracement level (white) of the most recent drop at $51,600.
While the MACD and RSI are both increasing, a breakout from the line would be required for the short-term trend to be considered bullish.
If BTC manages to clear it, it would be expected to gradually move upwards and make an attempt at making a new all-time high price.
BTC Chart by TradingView BTC Wave CountThe wave count (orange) suggests that BTC is in a corrective wave four, coming after the upward move that began on Feb. 1
Considering the upward movement lasted for 21 days, it’s not likely that the correction has ended yet. It’s likely that BTC is still inside this corrective wave four.
If BTC makes a lower low, the next support area would be found at $42,400. This is the 0.618 Fib retracement of this same upward movement.
BTC Chart by TradingViewAt the time of writing, we cannot determine the shape of the correction, but the two most likely ones are a regular flat (black) and a triangle (red).
