Only third correction or end of the run? I think a lot will depend on the news in the following days. The sentiment is still very positive. No major event rocked the market, it was really just overbought and it needed the relief. Correction was imminent. The question is if the run is over? I don't think so.... I have bet with 70% probability that it isn't yet...

Pull back time or the beginning of a new bubble?1) There is bearish RSI Divergence that seems ready to be broken. On a longer time perspective RSI is trending up (Red line)
2) Price closed above the channel but closed inside the pitchfork on this occassion www.tradingview.com
3) From the Dec-Jan High-Bottom, the Fib extension first hit 1.272 and pulled back to 0.382 and now we are spot on 1.618.
4) The 150 D SMMA (or 300 D MA) is a great indicator (especially on BTCUSD - BTC-e). Acts as great support and resistance, as well as directionally (this can be seen since late 2012). I've observed than when the price is 540-550$ above the MA or 75-85% above, the price pulls back.
5) The price is out of sync on most exchanges and there are no good or bad news (no news are bearish for the long term, bullish for the short term)
I am very bullish Bitcoin overall, but fundamendaly, there are some valid short and long term concerns on many and various aspects.
Good luck and soon... To the moon!
Bitcoin - Not worried about a sell now - Adding to BuyI'm very much bull on bitcoin right now - not only from a technical standpoint, but also the fundamental standpoint.
Strictly from the technical standpoint bitcoin is crossing above the 9 day MA and she's been hugging the 50 day MA pretty well (squiggly pink line) - The straight blue line is the long term uptrend I've been tracking since last year, so I feel it's fairly safe to put my stop under there. The 200 day MA is still below that (red line) but I don't feel we're going to see that.
The RSI is turning up above the 60 level - the MACD just made a cross up into the positive territory as well. And the stochastic (the funky red and Green lines under the RSI) are saying we should be due for some more upward motion.
Chart here:
Now, fundamentally, there's lots of things going on in the background that could push bitcoin higher - Ant is looking to buy MoneyGram - if that goes through I'd expect bitcoin to make quite a jump. Even if it doesn't happen, there's so much investment in the blockchain I don't expect any sudden sharp sell offs any time soon.
Long live Bitcoin, last call before climbing that canal.As usual, beware downward breakout, especially considering the news and the ethereum stelaing the hype lol, but bitcoin will always remain bitcoin, should have a place in a trading portfolio.
The double bottom is pretty nice, I think it just want to confirm the 1000 cap, as for the target, once again how long can you wait before closing position, if you can wait until top of the canal and beyond well,that's the real challenge, but that's the spirit of swing trading otherwise take it until you feel the up trend is heading toward retracement and retake position a little bit downer.
Cheers all cryptotraders out there :)
Descending broadening wedge pattern [4H]Short where you want, long where you like to.
Last down move could be coming. Shorts may work out. However, if you've followed my previous chart which had shown all the possible role reversing level ( Resistance into support ) We've just touched the line and going back up again. I've known some traders bought in at the 1000s Level and you might want to hold even though we are seeing lower highs for now.
Bitcoin's Bull FlagBTC is lil weird to trade right with the ETF news.
But here's the plan : a short before breaking the bull flag. I wanted to make this shorting 2 hours ago, anyway, now I'll wait for the long entry :) If you venture into the shorting, no need to remind you to watch out for upward breakout, in which case, long all the way !
Good trading lads.
BTC Weekly Candles Shows Upcomming CorrectionWeekly Candles have stopped making big wicks,
we are up for a correction ?
Jurik's RSI (smooth rsi) also shows overbought levels and
after every bull phase, btc has correction so i guess we are going to go sideways
and then a dump maybe and then form support and hit 6000 levels.
