BTC Outlook
The rally last week stalled out at the top of the bear flag that has been forming since mid June. The only context that has changed is where the price is relative to its 20 day and 50 day moving averages. In the first time in nearly four months the 20 day moving average has crossed in a positive way through the 50 day moving average (a golden cross). This simply means the price has stopped going down in the short term as the rate it was in the mid term. This can be a sign of a trend reversal.
However, looking back earlier this year to April you can see that when a similar bullish cross happened the price rallied in the short term but could not stay above the 20 day moving average for long and once it broke through again the price followed the 20 day moving average down for nearly 5 months.
This means it is likely market participants will be watching these two moving averages closely to see how the price behaves around it. If the 20 day holds as support this is a sign that buyers are back in the market and otherwise caution should be taken as more sideways or downward price action is likely

Possible Course of Action
Long while price holds 20 day moving average as support
Do nothing and wait for the 50 day moving average to hold as support
Short or stop losses if the 20 day moving average fails to hold as support
The Bulls’ Defense:
Down trend is over extended
Golden cross of 20 day MA and 50 day MA
The Bears’ Prosecution:
Bear flag
Global macro uncertainty
Tech stock correlation
