Cryptocurrency Analysis: Bitcoin Price Tumbles to $7000 as Rally Fizzles
After the recent surge in Bitcoin reached a euphoric phase, triggering both short and long-term sell signals, the coin finally rolled over today, and quickly fell to $7000 from its all-time high just above the $7500 level. Altcoins haven’t followed the most valuable coin for now as the negative correlation of the majors with BTC remained intact.
Bitcoin is still severely overbought from an investment perspective, and while the short-term rising trend is intact, a possible head and shoulders pattern is forming on the 4-hour chart, which could be first the phase of a deeper correction, with an initial target of $6700. Support levels are still found at $6700, $6000, $5800, and $5400. We advise both traders and investors to wait with opening new positions in Bitcoin.
BTC/USD, 4-Hour Chart AnalysisEthereum Classic followed through on its break-out, as we expected, and it surged past the key $13.50 level, while Monero also moved sharply higher to test the $100 resistance today. The Other major altcoins are also slightly higher today, but the technical setup is unchanged in case of the rest of the market. Let’s see how the short-term charts look after the eventful weekend.
Ethereum
ETH/USD, 4-Hour Chart AnalysisEthereum is still trading near the $300 level, as the volatility in Bitcoin didn’t affect the token’s market substantially. The coin is still trading within the long-term uptrend despite the lengthy consolidation, but the $315 resistance remains strong above the current price level. That said, we still expect a move towards the $330-$350 zone in the coming period, while support is found at $285 and $250.
