BTC Outlook
Well since BTC price is just grinding sideways this week with diminishing volatility the only the to really talk about are candlestick patterns. If you didn’t watch (or listen) to yesterday’s Mid-Week Update, Hal discussed the potential of an outsider reversal forming.
At the time of writing this, with the US stock market still not opened for the day, BTC price appears to be going know where. In fact it is now producing the only other possible outcome to what Hal described yesterday. It’s currently making a daily candle that both the high and low ranges are within yesterday’s candle. This is called an inside candle and hints at a coiling market ready to break out. It’s rare for these candles to form and hints at potential buying support around the $16600-800 level .
We will be watching for the reaction to the US stock market open. It is hard to imagine a scenario where stocks continue to sell off and BTC is able to rise back above $17000.
Join us in discord where we will continue to monitor if BTC can find support at $16600.
Possible Course of Action
Do nothing and wait for a break out of breakdown of this current consolidation
The Bulls’ Defense:
Potential bull flag forming
The Bears’ Prosecution:
$17k acting as resistance
