The price found strong support near the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward rally from 3313 to 5600, around 5062. The technical indicators suggest that the bearish correction may came to an end in the short term. The stochastic is edging higher entering the overbought zone, while the [..]

Posted on April 17, 2019 at 1:23 pm GMT

ETHUSD has been trading inside the Ichimoku cloud and between the 20- and 40-simple moving averages (SMAs) in the 4-hour chart. Over the last week the price has been moving sideways after the drop beneath the 168.30 barrier. The MACD oscillator is heading upwards, above the trigger line and the RSI entered the positive zone, pointing upwards. Resistance could occur around the 168.30 hurdle, which coincides with the 40-SMA. A break above this area could increase the bullish sentiment, retesting the 23.6% [..]

Cryptos roar back: dead-cat bounce, or more upside? – Cryptocurrency News

Posted on April 3, 2019 at 3:07 pm GMT

After a long period of declines, cryptocurrency prices suddenly jumped this week, with the original digital currency – Bitcoin – leading the charge higher. Yet, nobody can pinpoint a concrete fundamental reason for this change in fortune for digital coins, other than a massive buy order being executed. Hence, nothing much seems to have changed in the bigger picture, implying that this is unlikely to be the beginning of a new uptrend for cryptos, and that investors should tread lightly. [..]

Technical Analysis – BTCUSD eases below 4½-month high after sharp bullish rally

Posted on April 2, 2019 at 1:29 pm GMT

BTCUSD skyrocketed to a fresh four-and-a-half-month high of 5052 earlier on Tuesday, finally creating an impressive bullish rally. Currently, the price is returning some of those gains but remains above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the upleg from 3313 to 5052, around 4642. However, some of the technical indicators are losing momentum after the sharp rise in the 4-hour chart. The RSI indicator seems to be overbought, as it is turning lower above the 70 line, while the stochastic oscillator dropped below [..]

Technical Analysis – BTCUSD extends gains; positive bias in play

Posted on March 27, 2019 at 1:57 pm GMT

BTCUSD is approaching again the two-month high of 4032, exiting from the Ichimoku cloud. According to the stochastic some weakness could emerge as it seems to be overbought, however, the RSI indicator is still sloping upwards approaching the 70 level in the 4-hour chart. Should the price extend higher and successfully surpass 4032, it could find immediate resistance at the 4085 barrier, taken from the peak on January 8. Also, an advance above this region would increase speculation that a bullish move is in progress [..]

Posted on March 18, 2019 at 2:39 pm GMT

BTCUSD is currently developing below the two-month high of 3994.20 and back near the flat red Tenkan-sen line. According to the momentum indicators some weakness could emerge as both the RSI and the Stochastics are losing steam after a peak in the overbought territory.
