Dead Cat Bounce or Real Recovery for Bitcoin [BTC] Price?

2018-8-15 17:22

After returning to sub-$6k levels, Bitcoin is on the rise today trading around $6,400. Both the RSI and price action are forming higher lows, with the outlook overall being more bullish. The last few weeks have been a bloodbath for the cryptocurrency markets with steep losses across almost all coins. These weeks have seen Bitcoin drop from $8500 to near all-time lows for 2018.

Whether this recovery is real is a big question on traders minds given the strong negative sentiment of the last weeks. A few factors would suggest that there is some strength behind this recovery and price could be after bottoming out. With the price action and RSI both forming higher lows, there is less selling pressure than before. The possibility of a short squeeze is also on the table. Also, with futures no longer trading at premium selling pressure provided by miners looking to lock in a profit is also out of the market. There is also a significant volume behind this upward movement. Most failed upward movements before downward a continuation continues, known as a dead cat bounce, are typically on low volume.
