The $5000 barrier

3 sept. 2017

Zooming out to the daily chart makes we wonder if it will take a while to crack the $5000 barrier. Psychologically it is a very significant number: Half way to $10000, a very nice round number.

Using correlations with random charts is not TA, but this one makes my superstitious brain wonder: twitter.com/JamieSaettele/status/904062293230669824

Note

Now BTC has touched the long term uptrend line.

4 sept. 2017

Note

These drops are habit now?

6 sept. 2017

Note

Let's see if this fractal plays out over the next days:

7 sept. 2017

Note

We reached $4630 and bounced. BTC is currently testing support at $4480.

7 sept. 2017

Note

Seems to form a wedge. Currently, I expect another push to $4700 and then a dip to $4300.

8 sept. 2017

Note

Looks like the bottom is in. ETH has broken out of the downtrend, so BTC should follow soon.

13 sept. 2017

Note

RSI divergence is a sign of reversal.

15 sept. 2017

Note

I guess ETH just really needed that bounce at $200. Amazing reversal. And just like that BTC looks quite bullish again.

15 sept. 2017

Note

That bullish wedge kinda realized, but lost too much steam.

16 sept. 2017

Note

$3400 still looks likely.

17 sept. 2017

Note

Did not reach $3400, but maybe another downswing comes. Meanwhile it forms a bullish wedge on a larger timeframe.

17 sept. 2017

Note

Some chinese whale bought a big amount of BTC in OKCoin and started a little rally. Still, the volume is not enough for a big rally. It turned our wedge in a bull flag, though. That bull flag should retrace to $3400.

18 sept. 2017

Note

Back over $4000. Half way to $5000 from $3000 three days ago.

19 sept. 2017

Note

Currently forming another bull flag. After a third impulse, we often see a larger correction.

20 sept. 2017

Note

Oy, that breakout failed. Time to decide, Bitcoin.

21 sept. 2017

Note

Bitcoin rejected at the downtrend line, so the downtrend continues.



That $5000 barrier is far far away now.

23 sept. 2017

Note

ETH has closed above its downtrend line, but BTC is still below.

25 sept. 2017

Note

Breakout. Has the downtrend officially ended? I would like to see more volume.

28 sept. 2017

Note

BTC seems to be due for a correction now.

However, ETH looks due for another push and they correlate...

29 sept. 2017

Note

A bounce at $4000 it pretty important. If support breaks there, we might drop a lot lower.

30 sept. 2017

Note

To break through $4400 will probably some serious volume.

3 oct. 2017

Note

BTC needs some upwards push soon or we have ended that uptrend.

5 oct. 2017

Note

At this point it looks totally ambiguous to me.

9 oct. 2017

Note

The market realized that Bitcoin Gold and Segway2x hardforks are coming. People imagine a similar win like with Bitcoin Cash and everybody buys BTC. People even dump their alts. This could lead well beyond $5000.

12 oct. 2017

Note

Above $5000. I expect $6000 this week.
