Bitcoin markets very jittery during the week

Bitcoin continues to go back and forth in an overall downtrend. The candle for the week in both pairs that I follow has been rather neutral, so the question now is whether or not we are finding some type of support?

Bitcoin markets went back and forth during the course of the week, showing signs of hesitancy. The markets continue to be very noisy, and undecided. I believe that the market should continue to go lower, but we may get a short-term bounce in the meantime. The $8000 level above should be resistance, so even if we rally from there I think it’s only a matter of time before the sellers come back in. I think that the $6000 level underneath is a target. That’s a major “floor” in the market, so if we break down below there it’s likely that we will continue to go much lower.

Bitcoin also formed a neutral candle against the Japanese yen, essentially doing nothing. Bitcoin will continue to struggle in general, as there is a lot of concern around the world. The Japanese yen is considered to be a safety currency, so if geopolitical concerns pick up again, it’s likely that we will continue to see this market struggle. I think that the market has shown itself to have plenty of support at the ¥700,000 level, so it’s not a huge surprise that we would find buyers just above it. If we can break below the ¥700,000 level, this market will come on wound. Otherwise, we could go as high as ¥1 million in the short term, but I think it would be just that, short-term move based upon the fact that we have been making lower highs for some time. I anticipate that this will be a very noisy market.
