FX.co ★ BTC analysis for 02.17.2020 - Crash on the BTC as we expected. Our first downwarrd target at the priceof $9.660 is reached, next target at $9.135

Industry news:

Last month, BTC.TOP's Jiang Zhuoer had announced his plan to implement an 'Infrastructure Funding Plan' (IFP) for Bitcoin Cash, which aimed to direct 12.5% of BCH mining rewards to a fund that will support Bitcoin Cash infrastructure. This was mostly met with mixed reactions, eliciting concerns about the arbitrary nature of the percentage of rewards that would go into the fund, as well as misappropriation of funds. And some miners simply didn't want to contribute to the fund.

Technical analysis:

BTC has been trading downwards as I expected last Friday. Our first downward target from last week got reached at the price of $9.660.Strong rejection of the Pitchfork median line and the breakout of the rising wedge in the background were the keys for the crash on BTC.

Watch for selling opportunities on the rallies and our second target at the price of $9.130.

MACD oscillator is showing downside pressure and the slow line is turned to the downside, which is good confirmation for the further drop.

Short-term resistances are set at the price of $9.720 and $10.000

Major support level is set at the price of $9.135.
