Par for the Course: Bitcoin Difficulty Drop Actually a Bullish Sign

2019-11-14 00:00

Bitcoin has once again found itself caught within a bout of consolidation as it ranges sideways above its key near-term support level at $8,700. Despite BTC’s recent sell-off that sent it reeling below $9,000, the cryptocurrency’s bulls have been able to defend this support level, which may be a bullish sign.

Although there are analysts that anticipate Bitcoin to see further downside in the near-term, it is imperative to note that one prominent analyst is now pointing to Bitcoin’s mining difficulty adjustment as a sign that another major bull run is imminent.

Bitcoin Trades Sideways as Analysts Anticipate Further Near-Term Downside

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading up marginally at its current price of $8,780, which is just a hair above its key near-term support level of $8,700 that has held strong over the past several days and weeks.

It does appear that BTC is currently forming a fresh trading range between $8,700 and $8,900, as its price has been caught within this range for the past couple of days. If this range continues holding strong, traders may be in for another extended period of sideways trading similar to that seen when the crypto was caught between $9,000 and $9,500.

In the short-term, analysts are feeling increasingly bearish on Bitcoin, with one analyst setting a target in the lower-$8,000 region as a level at which he anticipates the crypto to find meaningful long-term support.

Hsaka, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, mused this possibility in a recent tweet, concisely saying:

“$BTC: Time to bring it home.”

BTC Mining Difficulty Adjustment May Prove to be Bullish

Regardless of Hsaka’s bearish near-term assessment of Bitcoin, another more fundamental factor could point to an imminent bull movement for the cryptocurrency in the mid-term.

PlanB, another popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, spoke about this possibility in a recent tweet, pointing to a chart that shows that drops in BTC’s mining difficulty – like the one it recently incurred – are historically followed by large bull movements, which may mean that further bullishness is inbound.

“9 years of #bitcoin difficulty adjustment: like clockwork,” he explained while pointing to the chart seen below.

In the coming few hours and days, Bitcoin’s price may retrace further before it finds any long-term support, but the mid-term outlook is beginning to look strikingly bullish.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Upward Drift Continues Following Established Macro Support

Since mid-February, the bitcoin market has continued to drift upward toward a band of strong, macro resistance (shown below as a red band). This slow, drift upward marks our fourth test of the resistance zone and, unlike the three prior tests, our rejection of the level has shown a weakness on the side of the bears:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Fourth RejectionIf we compare the three prior rejections (labeled 1, 2 and 3), we see that the move into this resistance level was violent — and had equally violent rejections.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Keep an Eye Out for a Close Above the Current High

Shortly after falling from its test of the low $4,000s, bitcoin managed to find support in the mid $3,500s. This has proven to be a relevant level over the last few months, and finding support here would be a sign of relatively strong demand:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Local SupportThe high candle spread rejection following our test of the low $4,000s was an indication that we had strong levels of supply left in the market, but for the time being we are holding support.

Analyst: Bitcoin (BTC) Likely to Drop Towards $3,200 Unless it Finds Continued Bullish Momentum

Following the market’s recent volatility, Bitcoin has firmly established $3,800 as a level of support and has been able to continue holding steady above this price point. Analysts are now pointing out that BTC is currently holding above key moving average support levels, which could be a positive sign for the cryptocurrency’s price.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Major Support Broken on Expanding Volume and Spread

After weeks of consolidation, bitcoin finally broke through support. The market now finds itself cruising toward prior lows. On expanding volume and spread, the bitcoin market appears ripe for a continuation of the downtrend:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Broken SupportAlthough the current daily candle has yet to close, unless there is a strong influx of demand hitting the market, it stands to reason that bitcoin will be closing a new daily low for the first time since mid-December.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Range-Bound Market Coiled for Next Move

For the better part of a month and a half, bitcoin has been fairly range-bound and unable to establish new lows or new highs. There are some bullish and bearish setups on the horizon for bitcoin, so let’s check out both sides of the argument because currently the market is sitting in the middle of Indecisionville — the most immediate sign of which is this glaringly obvious head-and-shoulders bottom reversal pattern:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Head-and-Shoulders BottomThis current pattern is nothing more than a setup at the moment, but it represents one potential outcome of this sustained consolidation.
