Bitcoin markets fell significantly during the day on Monday, Tuesday, and now Wednesday. We have broken through major support, and it looks very likely that bitcoin will continue to go much lower. At this point, it looks like we’ve got a way to go before finding longer-term support.

BTC/USD

Bitcoin markets fell during the trading session on Wednesday again, and we are now well below the $8000 level. We have found a bit of support at the $7800 level, but ultimately I think it’s only a matter time before you break down through there. I would anticipate that the $8000 level above would be massive resistance, so I think that any type of exhaustion and that area is a nice selling opportunity. If we do break above there, it looks as if there is a significant amount of resistance extending towards the $8500 level. On the downside, I anticipate that the market will reach towards the $7500 level, and then the $7000 level.

BTC/JPY

Bitcoin has broken down against the Japanese yen as well, as we are solidly below the ¥900,000 level. The ¥850,000 level underneath should continue to be a target, just as the ¥800,000 level will be. The ¥800,000 level would of course be significant from a large, round, psychologically significant figure. Ultimately, the market is likely to fall even further, perhaps reaching down to the ¥700,000 level, an area that has been the bottom of longer-term consolidation. I believe that we will see a significant fight in that area, but overall it looks as if the market will continue to see volatility. I think that the overall attitude of this market is difficult, and therefore it’s easier to short this market on signs of exhaustion. I have no interest in buying this pair right now.
