Bitcoin Reaches Another All-Time HighBTC created yet another bullish candlestick on Jan. 6, reaching the highest daily close ever at $36,849. It continued its ascent the next day, to hit a high of $37,800.
Despite being overbought, technical indicators do not yet show any weakness.
BTC Chart By TradingView Future MovementThe six-hour chart shows the first signs of weakness in the form of a bearish divergence in both the RSI and MACD. However, the divergence is only visible in time-frames of six hours and lower.
Furthermore, there is a support area found at $34,500, which BTC has validated. As long as it is trading above this area, BTC is expected to continue moving upwards.
BTC Chart By TradingView BTC Wave CountThe wave count suggests that BTC is likely nearing the top of its upward movement. It’s possibly in sub-wave 5 of a longer-term wave 5, as outlined in yesterday’s article.
A likely target for the top of sub-wave 5 (shown in orange below) is located between $39,130-$39,170. The target is found by projecting the length of sub-waves 1-3 (black fib) and an external retracement on sub-wave 4.
BTC Chart By TradingViewAn even closer look at the movement shows that BTC is likely in minor sub-wave 5 (shown in black below) of sub-wave 5.
Therefore, a decrease below the minor sub-wave 4 low at $34,330 (red line) would likely mean that the upward movement is over and BTC is correcting.
BTC Chart By TradingView ConclusionWhile Bitcoin is expected to continue increasing, the $39,100 area could possibly act as the top of the upward movement.
