Bitcoin Looks Likely to Advance
Bitcoin is approaching once again the arc which stopped the advance in the recent past. This setup shows us that we are at a point in time and price that is a bit precarious. The market has turned at this arc pair twice already. However, I see that at its peak, price not only punctured, but (briefly) closed above the arc pair. This suggests that the arc is vulnerable. Will it get through the arc pair in this test? This chart is very helpful. Here we can see that the 4th arc, which has been impenetrable for several days, has been penetrated all the way to the 2nd arc of the pair. As of this....

Bitcoin price achieved $450 (Bitstamp) and 2900 CNY (BTCC) overnight. Since then price has entered a pullback that appears incomplete at the time of writing. A strange advance that is not yet surging above the long-term resistance it has just broken (grey trendline). The expectation was that the slow push higher would turn parabolic on the successful push through resistance at $430 (Bitstamp). In the 4-hour timeframe, RSI is reverse diverging to the December high and the advance must now push through a supply level that has been in effect since November of last year. Although the slow....
Bitcoin price trend remains up. Advance should retake $630 in the coming days, but a correction may precede a push higher. Price continues pushing higher above its 200-period moving average in the 4hour candle chart (red). The chart is primarily bullish since we see the stochastics rising from oversold (magenta circle, top-right), but an ambiguous indication warns of potential downside as they’re flashing a red divergence dot. This represents a downside risk that traders should be prepared for: price may correct down to the 200MA near $587 before resuming advance. If price can push above....
Bitcoin price made a return to the previous wave high today and now looks to have resumed an advance. Or has it? The zoomed out BTCC 5min chart shows the articulation (subwaves) of today’s advance clearly. It’s an impulse wave and to be expected in this wave position. That it should be so strong comes as a surprise, but this same over-exuberance is what makes the wave vulnerable to deep retracement. A strong push higher today and many in the market seem to be buying like this is the blockreward-halving rally. If the outlook for additional decline is wrong, then advance beyond the 4hr 200MA....
Bitcoin price made a full retracement of the week’s advance and seems to be finding support at the base of the prior advance. By late yesterday, price had returned to the level from which this week’s advance had launched. Just prior to this report, the market again again tested this level at 2500 CNY and $380 ($375 in some exchange charts). Without acting on such anticipation, we might see a reversal here – back to a temporary advance and later returning to this very same level being established as a new support floor near $380 and 2500 CNY. The price pattern is reminiscent of a similar....
Bitcoin rose dramatically in the past few days, pushing past several barriers until it got to the 4th arc on this setup on the daily chart: As you can see, it was this same arc pair that stopped the last major advance in early January of this year. This setup is sized from the start of the current rally in August 2015 and the spike top 3 months later at almost $500. You really can’t make a bigger useful setup from this chart. The question that always arises is: “Will it get through the arc quickly this time?” Regretfully, there aren’t many clues on the chart. It does not bode well that the....
