BTC Outlook
It looks like Bitcoin is going to start the week by retesting the February monthly opening price. We are looking at the CME Bitcoin futures chart this morning because it most clearly demonstrates this local top that has formed. On the CME Bitcoin’s price went to $25300 twice over the past week and has met resistance. The neckline for this double top is likely the february open near where the price is currently hovering. A breakdown below this neckline could see Bitcoin retesting the February lows near $21500.
The daily and weekly supports for the cheat sheet are around $24300 which may be tested by the time this article is published. If these levels fail to act as resistance then next support is around $23000 and under that is a lot of air until $20k.
What happens if the double top doesn’t play out and Bitcoin finds support at the february open? Most likely some fireworks to the upside. Though, I remain caution until Bitcoin can break above $25300 and hold it as support. This level has been acting as strong resistance so it must be broken is a decisive manner.
With US equities showing weakness and the market focused on earnings, cpi, and the fed Bitcoin could continue to trade in a range going into the end of the month between $23k and $25k.
We will be paying close attention to these key support and resistance levels this week. Join us in discord where we actively discuss markets and where Bitcoin could be headed next.
