Title: Some serious resistance around $7.20 minor support at $6.00 Post by: tripper22 on January 08, 2012, 04:51:40 AM On an hourly chart, $7.20 resistance has held 5 or more times recently. Presently we are back in the recent trading range. Thoughts?

Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: bittenbob on January 08, 2012, 05:29:02 AM .2 's = tipping point ? We blasted through 7.2 on the initial rally up to 7.50. I dont subscribe to this theory. Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: teflone on January 08, 2012, 05:43:26 AM .2 's = tipping point ?

Good point, I dont recall last move. hence the question mark... :) Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: arepo on January 08, 2012, 05:43:48 AM Strange how it's always the .2's which provide so much resistance/support. 3.2, 4.2, 5.2, 6.2... 7.2 this is an almost completely psychology-driven market. we like dollar multiples and +/- $0.2 is apparently the right amount of deviation to produce the momentum necessary to get us to the next level of resistance. to test my theory, as the BTCUSD rate increases, so should the distance from each dollar multiple to its envelopes of resistance, as it really ought to be a percentage of the rate rather than a scalar.

So we should be selling at the x.15 point, just before the aforementioned deviation-resistance constant.

That's what an increasing number of people seem to be doing, making the $X.20 resistance level a self fulfilling prophecy. At least it makes for semi predictable trading conditions.

Coincidentally, we recently hit $7.15 twice and shot back down, when trying to get past the latest $7.20 resistance point. I think I need to watch the movie "Pi" again. :-) Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: ArsenShnurkov on January 08, 2012, 06:24:43 AM Thoughts?

Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: bittenbob on January 08, 2012, 07:38:19 AM As one of the other threads pointed out which im about to post on next it looks like we have another triangle forming. This is like the one before the last jump to 7.20 so i think we are going to break it for sure.

Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: tripper22 on January 08, 2012, 06:15:50 PM $7.20 is still holding (resistance). Hopefully not much longer. On the 4 hour chart slow buying pressure is building to the upside.
Can the bears repel the repeated bull attacks at $7.20? https://i.imgur.com/amjTa.jpg (http://imgur.com/amjTa) Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: S3052 on January 08, 2012, 06:28:51 PM I agree with most people here that 7.2 $ is only a minor resistance.

On the 4 hour chart slow buying pressure is building to the upside. Can the bears repel the repeated bull attacks at $7.20? I see a mini correction down into the $6.90 range for most of the day, backing off the $7.20 resistance. Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: tripper22 on January 08, 2012, 06:35:31 PM I agree with most people here that 7.2 $ is only a minor resistance. It all depends on the time frame of course. I agree with you. In my first post I showed an hourly chart (serious resistance). Maybe I should have worded it differently. :-\ Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: S3052 on January 08, 2012, 07:15:43 PM No worries :-)
Very short term, you were right that 7.20 was resistance. Mid term, not. Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: SaintFlow on January 08, 2012, 07:30:22 PM Tempting the bear out of the cave
Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: StewartJ on January 08, 2012, 07:44:58 PM Tempting the bear out of the cave I think the bears and the bulls are hibernating, not much going on.

Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: tripper22 on January 09, 2012, 03:29:24 AM Upward pressure is building. Or not.
Title: Re: Some serious resistance around $7.20 Post by: tripper22 on January 10, 2012, 12:57:39 AM I guess I was right about the short term resistance at $7.20. It looks like we have short term support around $6.00 based on the hourly chart.
