Perspective: Long-Term Bitcoin Chart Shows How Far Away The Top Could Be

Ethereum is, imho, the play of the day. We have finally gotten a likely close on the long-term daily chart on the sunny side of the 3rd arc. This is not trivial. This development is supported by several other geometric considerations of the chart. For instance, here is a short-term bear setup from the recent swing high: As you can see, we have a significant green candle that occurred EXACTLY at 3rd arc support, and exactly at the end of the 2nd square. There is more. Here is a long-term bear setup of the same chart: This long-term bear setup, most amazingly, ALSO shows a bounce off 3rd arc....

So for today's Asian session bitcoin price watch, we are going to tighten things up a little. A look at the daily chart in the bitcoin price reveals a few straight weeks of overarching bullish momentum, and while we would love this momentum to continue from a long term capital gains on our holdings perspective, its made us a little wary. We are approaching $300 flat, having broken to the downside through $200 last month, and if there was ever a time for a medium term correction, now is it. This doesn't mean the overarching trend is likely to change - simply that we will probably get some....

Here's what we are looking at for the evening session in the bitcoin price on Monday. Before we get going on this evening’s bitcoin price analysis, take a quick look at the chart below. It’s a fifteen-minute candlestick chart that shows the action seen in the bitcoin price over the weekend, and this morning, with today’s framework overlaid. As the chart shows, the range we were looking at this morning was defined by in term support at 418 flat and in term resistance at 422. We went into the session with a breakout focus – that is, our range wasn’t wide enough to bring intrarange to the....

In the past few days, we advised traders to consider taking profits ~$344. It turns out that the magic number was a few dollars shy of that figure ($338). We also suggested that when the next pullback occurred we could possibly get a test of the long term support line. As I am writing these words, price has touched that support line. For now at least, that support is holding. See the 3-day chart below. As long as we do not get a close below that support line I will remain medium-term bullish. I continue to expect that the market will rise as soon as the price passes through the 2nd arc....

It seems there is no stopping Dash from digging deeper into the red. The cryptocurrency has sunk to a fresh 1-month low of 0.01163BTC as bulls refrain from entering the scene, extending the ruthless bear market that Dash has entered into. I advised in my yesterday's analysis that Dash is still not a good contrarian bet and long positions are best avoided. I maintain my bearish outlook. Trading under pressure, Dash has a value of 0.01175BTC. An analysis of the 360-minute DRK/BTC price chart reveals that the cryptocurrency may be oversold from a near-term perspective, however, the long-term....
