Crypto Analyst: Bitcoin Price (BTC) Still In Bull Trend According to MACD, Accumulate During “Correction”

Crypto Analyst: Bitcoin Price (BTC) Still In Bull Trend According to MACD, Accumulate During “Correction”

Listen to Article

To call the current bear market a simple “correction” is quite a bold statement and one that would be met with counterpoints from numerous scorn crypto investors who bought in at the top of the recent Bitcoin (BTC) bubble. However, according to one crypto analyst, Bitcoin is still in a “ongoing bull market” and that the leading crypto by market cap is in nothing more than a correction, and that investors should accumulate at current prices.

The analyst also supplies his rationale behind the hypothesis, which is based heavily on the monthly Moving Average Convergence Divergence oscillator (MACD) – a trend-following momentum indicator that’s used by traders to signal important trend changes.

Crypto Analyst: What Bear Market? Bitcoin’s in a “Secular Bull” Market

Popular cryptocurrency analyst Dave the Wave has been heavily focusing his analysis on the Monthly MACD. His previous analysis suggested that the monthly MACD was signaling the bottom of the current bear market, and even correctly called Bitcoin’s recent “bounce” off the 200-week moving average – yet another indicator traders use to predict price fluctuations in various assets.

In his most recent charts, the analyst again is looking to the monthly MACD to gain invaluable insight into where we are in the current bear market, to determine when a bottom is in, and when Bitcoin price may rally to new highs once again.

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

The analyst’s take on the monthly MACD is that it has never even reached “bear territory,” by falling below the center line of the chart. During the 2014 to 2015 BTC bear market, the monthly MACD only briefly dipped below the center line and immediately bounced upward, forming a V-shaped bottom on the chart.

To clarify – technically something is bullish when the MACD is above the center line, and bearish when below the center line.

While this could also signal that the current downtrend still has much more room to fall into bearish territory, Dave the Wave believes that while the momentum itself is “bearish on the monthly,” the MACD “is still in bull territory” and that BTC is simply in a “correction.”

Crypto Analyst: Bitcoin’s Bearish Correction Could Be “Turning” Back to Bull

He further suggests that the monthly MACD’s histogram could possibly “turn around” and if it does, it “could very well signify the end of the correction” Bitcoin is currently experiencing. Dave the Wave further explains that the lagging indicator is like a “massive supertanker” and once the momentum turns, there’s “no stopping it,” it’s all “one way.”

When pressed by his Twitter followers on what his interpretation of the analysis means, he discouraged shorting this “correction,” and says that investors “want to be accumulating” for when the correction ends and the bullish trend we’re currently in resumes.

That BTC is in a secular bull, that this is just a correction, that you do not want to be shorting it, and that you want to be accumulating.?

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

Of course, he could be wrong about the monthly MACD, and the bearish momentum could drag Bitcoin price down further. Either way, the monthly MACD is a valuable tool for any traders hoping to profit off of trend changes and could help predict the elusive Bitcoin price bottom.

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.
