Bitcoin rallied significantly during the week but found enough resistance near the $10,000 level to turn things over and form a bit of a shooting star. While we have been bullish over the last couple of weeks, the preceding hammer suggests that perhaps we may have some sideways action.
Bitcoin rallied against the US dollar during the week, reaching towards the $10,000 level before finding sellers yet again. We formed a bit of a shooting star, which is a very negative sign, and I think that if we break down below the bottom of the shooting star, we could go down to the $8000 level underneath which is the bottom of the hammer the proceeds that candle. In other words, think we are going to see a bit of sideways action. However, if we were to break above the $10,000 level, the market probably goes to the $12,000 level next. When looking at the longer-term chart though, it does look like a rollover would not be out of the question.
Bitcoin rallied during the week, breaking above the ¥1 million level but rolling over to form a shooting star is what ended up happening. The preceding hammer of course is supportive, and at this point I think that we may roll over and try to look towards the ¥1 million level again for support. If we broke above the top of the shooting star, the market probably then goes to the ¥1.25 million level after that, which is even more resistive. In other words, I think that although we may have a little bit of an upward move from here, I suspect that the longevity that move might be somewhat limited in its scope and duration.
