Bitcoin Price Analysis: Week of Jan 26 (Spotting a Trend Change)
Last Week we concluded with the following: We are turning short term Bullish here and are looking for prices to rise back to the vicinity of the breakdown level of US$250. When we get there, the most likely outcome would be more downside and if this downside has a quick reversal above US$200 we might be able to finally call the low. “Bitcoin does not need a Wall Street operated exchange, it just needs people to realize what Governments are doing to them economically, EU citizens are on deck.”

The altcoin markets were dominated by upward trends this week. Will that growth continue into the new week? Ethereum’s price has formed a weekly flat. That was expected because the price has reached a long-term resistance line where a change of cycles usually happens.
