Weekly MACD Histogram Most Bullish It’s Been Since Bitcoin Price Was Over $13K

The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a lagging indicator many analysts use to track longer-term trend changes in assets across a variety of markets. In Bitcoin, the histogram of this key indicator had been bearish throughout most of 2018 and into 2019, and only recently just rose into bullish territory during last week’s rally where Bitcoin price topped out at $4,200.

Although the rally has run out of steam and since retraced, bullish momentum may not be gone completely, as the weekly MACD histogram has now reached its highest reading in well over a year. The histogram is now showing a the most bullish reading Bitcoin has had since Bitcoin price was over $13,000 back in December of 2017.

Bitcoin Bulls Are Back? Weekly MACD Histogram Highest Since December 2017

Prominent crypto analyst Dave the Wave has been using the weekly MACD indicator to look for data that supports that the bottom of the current bear market is in. In fact, the analyst refuses to even entertain the idea that Bitcoin has been in a bear market at all, due to the monthly MACD never dipping below the center point of the chart.

In his most recent charts, the analyst draws comparisons to the 2014-2015 bear market to get a better idea as to when Bitcoin’s declining price woes may turnaround for the longer-term. A new chart shared this week on Twitter, shows the weekly MACD histogram reaching its highest levels since December 2017.

The last time the weekly MACD histogram was this high, Bitcoin’s price was ranging from $13,000 to the $20,000 peak. Once January 2018 hit, the weekly MACD fell deep into bearish territory.

Following the July 2018 inverse head and shoulders completion, the weekly MACD started to show signs that the bulls were putting up a fight. However, bears eventually won, sending both the price of Bitcoin and the weekly MACD plummeting starting in November 2018.

Now, as the world watches to see if Bitcoin’s bottom is in, the weekly MACD histogram is showing the most strength its shown in well over a year.

Crypto Analyst: Bitcoin Is In a Bull Market That’s Currently Correcting

Due to the MACD generally being a lagging indicator, the recent signs of strength and the fact the indicator never truly fell into the bearish zone on the monthly chart could mean two difference scenarios may be ahead – both of which will only be confirmed in hindsight.

Just to put this 'bear market' in perspective – the MACD on the monthly chart may not even go into bear territory on this correction.? pic.twitter.com/qgVlu1f2UN

— dave the wave (@davthewave) February 21, 2019

As Dave the Wave points out, the monthly MACD on Bitcoin charts have never fallen bearish at all, and are starting to turn up. Usually, he says, once it turns up, the momentum can be unstoppable. If the lagging indicator did indeed call the bottom, the 2018-2019 bear market low is somewhere in the $3,150 area, and is already far behind us.

However, should the lagging indicator turn back down and instead continue below the center point of the chart into bearish territory, the already torturous bear market will have a lot more to go.

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a digital media executive and global remote work leader with a decade of content experience and excellent. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
