Bitcoin Price Forecast March 8, 2018, Technical Analysis

Bitcoin markets fell again on Wednesday, as we continue to see crypto currencies slump. We are approaching major levels just underneath, so that could be something to watch out for.

BTC/USD

Bitcoin markets have fallen a bit during the trading session on Wednesday, reaching towards the $10,400 level. I think that the market could continue to drift lower, perhaps down to the psychologically important $10,000 level. Clearly, we do not have much in the way of upward momentum and have been falling for a couple of days now. I think that the $10,000 level will of course bring a certain amount of support and regardless, so keep that in mind. I think that the market will continue to be very volatile, but at this point I don’t see a reason to jump in with both feet. I suspect that if you are patient enough, you should get an obvious bounce that you can start buying. At this point, it’s clear that we don’t have it yet.

Bitcoin markets also fell against the Japanese yen as you would expect, reaching down towards the ¥1.1 million level before bouncing slightly. If we can break down below that level, the market should then go down to the ¥1 million level underneath, as there is much more support in that psychologically important ¥1 million level. I think that as we break down towards that level, it’s only a matter of time before buyers return. If they don’t, that would be a very negative sign for Bitcoin and send it on winding the overall uptrend. Currently, if we can break above the ¥1.15 million level, we could see a bit of a bounce, but I think at this point it’s obvious that the sellers are in control.
