BTC Outlook
This week BTC will test our hypothesis that buyers will show up near $20,500. Last night the price attempted to move back into this buy zone but has been rejected so far this morning. If this current bounce is going to represent a show of strength the price will need to rise above $20500 this week. If it is unable to do this then expect more down side (maybe even a new yearly low). If the price falls below $19500 that would be the signal to get short. Watch the $19,500 and $20,500 levels closely this week.
Caution should be taken in the coming week. If the price closes above $21,500 you’ll have plenty of time to buy and be happy you didn’t take the ride down to $12,000 if it goes that way.

The Bulls’ Defense:
Potential Higher Low (Show of Strength)
The Bears’ Prosecution:
Fed statements from Jackson Hole was bearish
Failure to hold $20.5k now acting as resistance
