Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Price Analysis
The community is confident, and even after 12 months of lower lows, there is a consensus that the market is, at last, bottoming up. From a top-down approach, sellers might be in charge, but after the week ending Dec 23 solid bull bar, we now have a double bar bull reversal candlestick with decent volumes.
It is why we suggest loading up in lower time frames whenever there are bullish signals. In the 4HR chart, prices are range-bound and Dec 25, 0300 HRs is conspicuous. For bulls to be in charge, then we must see strong price upswings reversing these losses at the back of above average volumes.
Support is at $3,700 previous resistance now support. Trend continuation will print once there are gains above $4,300 or Dec 23 highs. Otherwise, losses below $3,700 could see Bitcoin prices tumble towards $3,200.
This is our Bitcoin (BTC/USD) trade plan:
Buy: $4,300
Stop: $4,000
Target: $4,500, $5,000
