FX.co ★ Trading signals for Bitcoin (BTC/USD) on February 18-21, 2022: buy in case of rebound at $40,000 (5/8)

Bitcoin price is consolidating around 5/8 Murray and below the 200 EMA and below the 21 SMA with a slightly bearish bias.

Since February 10, BTC has formed a downtrend channel when it reached the high of 45,811. Since then, it continues with a technical correction and is now approaching the psychological level of $40,000.

Bitcoin price is currently correcting after failing to break through the 200 EMA on the daily chart located at 46,330.

Bitcoin price made a 40% gain between Jan 24 and Feb 10 and tested the weekly supply zone that stretches from 45,500 (7/8) to 51,860 (8/8). This led BTC to drop forming a bearish channel on the 4-hour chart.

The recent rejection at the weekly resistance zone is likely to push BTC lower to the demand zone. A daily close below 39,500 will cause an acceleration to the downside towards 4/8 Murray at 37,500 and drop as low as 34,375.

The eagle indicator is giving a negative signal and the downward pressure is likely to continue in the coming days. On the other hand, a technical bounce above the psychological level of 40,000 could ease the decline.

Our trading plan for the next few hours is to wait for a technical bounce around the psychological level $40,000 to buy with targets at 41,798 and 43,500 below Murray's 6/8.
