Bitcoin’s Price Drop Steadying After Recording a 2018 Low

2018-11-16 17:49

After Wednesday’s extremely bearish price action, the decline in Bitcoin is slowing down. Although there was a follow-up in the drop yesterday where Bitcoin formed a 2018 low around $5200, there was a  quick retracement and price currently trades around $5550.

Although the price is currently trading steady today, the longer it trades in a sideways manner, the higher the likelihood that the next significant move will be a drop. The sideways trading we are seeing now could set up a bear flag.

The momentum is also strongly still on the side of sellers. The daily RSI is trading at its lowest point of all time, and the MACD continues to diverge significantly to the downside.

The hourly chart shows a drop occurring in Bitcoin yesterday with it briefly dropping below $5200. Traders were not yet willing to let Bitcoin trade at such a low valuation and quickly jumped in. In the event of another drop, we may likely see support around the $5000 to $5200 area.

Since its recovery from this low point, the price has been trading in a range from around $5450 to $5550. The price is currently approaching the 50 EMA where it might meet some resistance.

This week’s bearish movements have brought the entire cryptocurrency market cap to $184 billion after it started the week above $200 Billion. Bitcoin represents the dominant share of this at almost 53%.
