Bitcoin price Analysis
Bitcoin’s price dropped below the $40k level briefly during Monday’s session but managed to rally before its daily close and finished only $-11.
Today we start our bitcoin analysis with a positive chart, that chart is the BTC/USD 1M chart from motleifaul. Bullish BTC traders are trying to hold the 0.382 fib level [$41,575.95], at the time of writing.
If bitcoin bulls can reverse course, their overhead targets in the interim are $45,655.31 and $48,589.47.
Conversely, bearish BTC traders are trying to crack the 0.382 fib and push BTC’s price down to test the 0.5 fib level [$34,372.61] and 0.618 [$27,169.27].
A second chart that traders should be keeping a closer eye on is BTC’s 1D chart. The BTC/USD 1D chart below from EsLaMkhalid shows BTC’s price found support at a critical support level between $38,936-$41,476 on Monday. This level is also responsible for the current market structure as noted on the chart, if BTC’s price loses support at this level the probability of BTC’s demand not increasing until the ‘demand area’ on the chart increases greatly.
The Fear and Greed Index is 21 Extreme Fear and -2 from Monday’s reading of 23 Extreme Fear.
