Bitcoin Price Analysis: Is Volume Preceding Price?
Price as of writing is US$249.90. Last week it was stated: The Price has not only broken through the 50 day EMA, but has now moved above the 100 day EMA as well. A test of the 200 day at ~US$256 should occur. However, a lot of energy has been spent and the RSI is getting near an oversold level. It’s looking more like it will reject a move above the key US$255-$260 level, at least initially. Below is a daily chart of the bitcoin price. “As the above chart shows, the price has broke above the 50 day EMA, which could set up for a move to test big resistance in the US$255-$260 range.”

Last week’s article stated: Well the sharp move came, and instead of rejecting resistance the price shot sharply above it to a high of around US$273. The RSI did get overbought and price sharply snapped back. It is now consolidating above the 200 day EMA, which it broke above in the latest rally. OBV continues to remain at elevated levels (see chart below), in fact it hasn’t been this high since October of 2014 when price was above US$440. A lot of this volume still appears to be wash trading, however as volume has picked up so has the price. The big problem here is that price is not....
BTC price at press time: US$243.25. The midweek price alert began with: “Bitcoin has finally broken above the noted 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at US$232 and done so with force. It now also sits above the 100 day EMA (~US$242) as well. It’s possible a change of trend could be underway, but it is still too early to tell. This move has been made on very small volume and On Balance Volume confirms this. If the trend is truly going to change, volume should ideally come in.” The price reached a high of ~$256 and has now come down to ~US$243 and thus far the price has been....
BTC price at press time: US$249.45. Last week’s price alert began with: “Thus far things seem different. The one thing that continues to make me weary is the lack of volume. If we are going to have a truly sustainable advance, volume needs to pick up and price needs to burst through big resistance at the 200-day Moving Average at ~US$258. As long as price remains above the 50-day, a neutral to bullish stance should be taken.” The price reached a high of ~US$252 and has now come down to ~US$249 and thus far the price has been consolidating above these two moving averages, which it has been....
Bitcoin price was eagerly traded to the upside today in wave that now appears to have topped out just below long-term overhead resistance. Upward continuation will break resistance and herald a rally, but so far it looks like price is falling back into the consolidation range. Very frustrating price action. When you think it won’t it does. When you think it will it doesn’t. And in either case analysis seems to hit and miss randomly through the corrective variation. The present pattern labeled “3” in the chart above, so far looks like a smaller variation of the preceding patterns labeled....
