BTC/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that I thought that a deeper move down was likely to happen, to the $7,500 area. I had a bearish bias below $7,825. This is exactly what happened, and we now have some buying from $7,500 which is a key psychological level. The buying looks relatively convincing, so I think it is a little more likely that the price will reach the nearest resistance at $7,825 before it will test the support at $7,500 again. There is a confluence with a long-term bearish trend line at the resistance, so it is likely to be a key test. I have no directional bias now beyond what I already said but would become bearish if there is a convincing reversal at $7,825. There is a long-term bearish trend and the ridiculously bullish claims that have made for Bitcoin even as it drops by 70% in value over 6 months are being exposed.
There is nothing due today regarding the USD.
