Technical Market Outlook:
The Bitcoin bulls had broken above the 38% Fibonacci retracement level of the last wave down seen at $17,664, so this level might be tested as well (in a form of a spike up etc.). The local high was made at the level of $17,985 and the market is consolidating the recent gains. The next target for bulls is the key short them technical resistance seen at $18,135, so please keep an eye on this level. The level of $17,428 will now act as the key short-term technical support.
Weekly Pivot Points:
WR3 - $17,347
WR2 - $17,136
WR1 - $17,014
Weekly Pivot - $16,995
WS1 - $16,803
WS2 - $16,718
WS3 - $16,502
Trading Outlook:
The down trend on the H4, Daily and Weekly time frames continues without any indication of a possible trend termination or reversal. So far every bounce and attempt to rally is being used to sell Bitcoin for a better price by the market participants, so the bearish pressure is still high. The key long term technical support at the psychological level of $20,000 had been violated, the new swing low was made at $15,555 and if this level is violated, then the next long-term target for bulls is seen at $13,712. On the other hand, the gamechanging level for bulls is located at $25,367 and it must be clearly violated for a valid breakout in the long term.
