Bitcoin price increased today, just as our analysis from yesterday predicted, reaching a high of $242.54; so, we are expecting a continuation of this bullish wave to take the price up to $300 during the next few days.
By looking at the 1 day Bitfinex (BTC/USD) charts from tradingview.com and drawing a trend line between the high reached on the 13th of November, 2014 ($472.49) and the low reached on the 14th of January, 2015 ($167.05) and plotting the Fibonacci retracement fan accordingly, we can notice how today’s trading pulled the price up to $242.54. The new bullish wave will likely take the price up to test the 50% Fibonacci retracement fan level at around $244. In my opinion, if the bullish wave manages to raise the price above $256, we will be soon seeing the $300 level tested.
By studying the 4 hour Bitfinex (BTC/USD) chart from tradingview.com and plotting William’s Alligator indiactor and Vortex Indicator, we can spot a few signs confirming strength of today’s bullish wave:
- We can see 8 successive green bullish candlesticks which confirm an increase in the market’s buying power.
- William’s Alligator moving averages are aligned in a perfect manner to confirm a continuation of the bullish wave; the red line above the blue line and the green line is above both.
- The blue uptrend line of the Vortex Indicator has crossed above the red downtrend line and the gap between both trend lines is wide and seems to be increasing, which proves how we are likely to see the bullish wave continue during the upcoming couple of days.
Conclusion:
Bitcoin price is rising away from $220 support scoring a high of $242.54 today. Technical analysis is in favor of the current buying strength of the market which will probably take the price up to $300 during the upcoming few days.

Interesting conclusion but really the price was already at 300.00+ not long ago.. it was much higher than that and yet there is NO NEWS or reason for the climb… SO this pattern for the rise is purely a PUMP and nothing more.. if the price was suppose to be 300+ then it would have stayed there when it was there and would have never fallen to 210.00 and bellow.. Still waiting on your explanation for the rise?? just out of sudden popularity?
This is a technical move up from support sir. News can be interpreted to explain price action but that is always merely conjecture. The price is the only reality. If you see what happened on the Coinbase news, you see the market moved upwards without a real technical basis and then fell back to these $210-$225 levels, filling and consolidation. Perhaps levels are psychological, perhaps supply and demand determines price, etc. It is an inconceivably complicated market. Just watch the price and the chart and listen to people with substantial and intelligent technical analysis to offer. $300 coming up.
