Bitcoin 1/hr Fib ConsolidationBitcoin 1/hr chart shows price trending between the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels in a tight $1,800 range. The fib levels are drawn from the recent peak at $57,670(100%) and $42,333(0%). What we’re looking for here is a price move above the 61.8% fib level at $51,811 if we want to see continue gains. Should price fail to hold support at the 50% fib level at $50,000, then we can start to look at possible points of support at the 38.2%, 23.6% and 0% fib levels. Price would technically still be in an uptrend, albeit under a period of consolidation, as long as the $40k level isn’t breached. Should price fall below $40k the trend would flip from a period of consolidation to a new bear trend.
Lower indicators are looking favorable for bulls as they stand. The PPO indicator is showing both the green PPO line and purple signal line above the 0 level. In order for the uptrend in price to continue we need to see the green line cross back above the purple line and for both lines to move higher. That would indicate healthy bullish momentum behind price.
The ADX indicator shows the purple DI line above the green DI line which indicates a bearish trend behind price. The lines appear to be on the verge of another crossover though which would put the green line back above the purple line and indicate that there is a positive trend behind price.
The TDI indicator shows the green RSI line trending in the lower half of the purple BBands which indicates a negative trend for price in the short-term. The RSI line also recently attempted to cross above the 50 level, but rolled back over. Bitcoin needs to see an RSI reading above 50, and preferably 60, in order for momentum to be considered bullish.
Overall, neutral on price until the more risk-tolerant traders move it one direction or another. Above the 61.8% fib at $52k and bulls will be in charge, below the 50% fib at $50k and bears will have the upper hand on price movement.
