The Bitcoin markets have drifted a bit lower on Friday again, as we continue to see a lackluster performance out of the crypto currency markets. Bitcoin of course is the leader, so this as a “knock on effect” to other currency pairs in this space.
Bitcoin markets dropped a bit during the trading session on Friday again, losing over 3%. This is not a surprise, because we had formed such a perfect shooting star and Wednesday, and then of course broke down through the bottom of it on Thursday. It looks now that we are going to reach towards the $8000 level, and then possibly the $7500 level. I think this market continues to find sellers on rallies, as most traders are not willing to jump into the Bitcoin market after the massive selloff. Beyond that, there’s a bit of a “risk off” attitude of markets around the world, and of course Bitcoin won’t escape that.

Bitcoin markets fell against the Japanese yen during the session on Friday as well, breaking below the ¥900,000 level. I think it’s only a matter of time before re-sound ¥800,000, the next target. I think that the ¥1 million level continues to offer a significant amount of resistance, that extends to the ¥1.1 million level. It’s not until we break above the ¥1.1 million level that I would be convinced of the upward momentum, although I would be willing to buy a supportive candle below, but only under the most perfect of circumstances. I believe that sellers will continue to jump into this market, and that the attitude of Bitcoin traders in Japan seems to be waning even further. I believe that the volatility continues to be a major issue regardless, so a small position sizes probably necessary.
