BTC/USD Analysis
I wrote yesterday that due to several bullish technical signs, I took a bullish bias on Bitcoin, which had been boosted by the improvement in global risk sentiment we have seen over recent days.
I thought the long-term bullish trend was likely to continue and so I decided to enter a long trade if we got two consecutive hourly closes above $16,000.
The price has not even reached $16,000 so this call was enough to keep out of trouble. In fact, a long trade from a bullish bounce at support did set up.
The technical picture remains bullish, we are seeing a bullish consolidation in the form a triangle pattern, while all the key support levels are remaining valid.
I think we will see more upside, although this is not close to being certain – it is just more likely.
Therefore, I prefer to wait for the breakout, so I will again be ready to enter a long trade if we get two consecutive hourly closes above $16,000 later.
There is nothing of high importance due today regarding the USD.
