Bitcoin And Ethereum Daily Price Forecast – BTC & ETH Charts New 2018 Lows

Bitcoin recently tumbled below the bottom of its falling wedge pattern on the 1-hour time frame to signal that further losses are in the cards. Price is finding support at the $3,330 area though, so a pullback to the broken support may be in the works. RSI is already indicating oversold conditions and is starting to turn higher to signal a return in bullish momentum. Similarly stochastic is pulling up from the oversold area to suggest that buyers are taking over while sellers take a break. Both oscillators have a lot of ground to cover before hitting the overbought zone, which means that bullish momentum could stay in play. However, the 100 SMA is below the longer-term 200 SMA to indicate that the path of least resistance is to the downside.
