Bitcoin Weekly: Wait and See

Stock markets are pushing new all time highs. But bitcoin remains in wait-and-see mode, stuck in the same old channel.

Nothing new has happened in bitcoin since last week.

On the weekly scale, it’s still holding the support area around 72-76k.

On the daily scale, it’s still moving within the channel that started after the drop in early February. Trading a channel like this, you have four points of action:

  1. Buy a breakout.
  2. Sell a breakdown.
  3. Buy support at the lower edge.
  4. Sell resistance at the upper edge.

Until any of these happen, you simply wait.

Personally I don’t short, and I’m not interested in trading a narrow range like this channel. That leaves only option 1 for me, and so I’m waiting to possibly buy a breakout. As mentioned last week, a breakout above the channel would be interesting now, as it would also cross above the 40 week EMA (pink line).

Wait and see.
