Bitcoin Analysis
It’s been 405 days since Bitcoin’s all-time high [$69,044] and 2022 has been largely controlled by bearish traders. On Monday, bearish BTC traders again set the tone for the market’s action and when the day concluded, BTC’s price was -$299.4.
We’re beginning Tuesday’s price analyses with the BTC/USD 1D chart by NeutronMan. BTC’s price is trading between the 0.00% fibonacci level [$15,514.8] and 23.60% fib level [$16,925.49], at the time of writing.
After Bitcoin bulls failed to close above the 38.20% fib level on the daily timescale, bearish traders were able to reverse BTC’s price action to the downside. The levels for bullish traders to seize control of Bitcoin’s price action above the 23.60% level are 38.20% [$17,798.2], 50.00% [$18,503.55], 61.80% [$19,208.89], 78.60% [$20,213.11] and the 100.00% fib level [$21,492.3].
Bearish traders of Bitcoin’s market have a primary aim of retesting BTC’s multi-year low at the 0.00% fibonacci level. If they can capitalize on the bearish cross that formed on the 1D MACD and continue their assault on bullish traders, then the bottom of the bear market may yet to be established.
