Technical Indicators Signals
The 100 SMA is still below the longer-term 200 SMA to indicate that the path of least resistance is to the downside. This indicates that the selloff is more likely to resume than to reverse. However, the gap between the two is narrowing to indicate that a bullish crossover may be due. Also, the 100 SMA appears to have held as dynamic support just above the broken trend line.
This also coincides with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level on the latest swing low and high. Holding as support could push bitcoin price back up to the swing high or higher. This could also lead to the completion of an inverse head and shoulders, which is a classic reversal signal. This chart pattern would be around $1,000 in height so the resulting rally could be of the same size.
RSI is on the move down, though, so there may still be some selling pressure left. This could lead to a deeper pullback to the 61.8% Fib or even a dip back to the lows. Stochastic is already indicating oversold conditions and could turn higher soon, possibly indicating a return in bullish pressure and a continuation of the reversal.
