BTC/USD Price Analysis
Weekly Chart
Thing is, Bitcoin is stable and week over week losses are low. After recording upwards of 20 percent weekly losses on Nov 14, prices have been steady and are now just 14 percent down in the last week. These higher highs point to BTC demand in lower time frames perhaps in response to the approval of the first Bitcoin ETF and the expectation of institutional involvement.
Overly, BTC/USD is technically bearish and could sink to new levels as prices trade in line with the bear breakout pattern that saw several support levels crashed in the last few days. Of note is the high level of market participation confirming bears of the last 11 months.
Unless otherwise there are rapid gains above $6,000, traders should be unloading BTC on every pullback. Ideal stop lies at $6,200 with first sell target at $4,500.
Daily Chart
Like historical patterns, BTC/USD prices could recover in response to rapid losses of Nov 14. In that case, aggressive traders should pause their trading as BTC/USD bulls try to recoup losses as prices strike a natural equilibrium.
Regardless of these lower time frames higher highs, the general trend has been set following last week’s declines. Ideal sell zone lies between $5,950 and $6,200 and depending on where bears pick up, safe stops would be at $6,200—the upper level of our resistance level.
