Bitcoin has pulled back in the last three weeks, but now it may be showing signs of a turn.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the falling trendline that began on November 10 and ran through the highs of November 15 and 25. It’s been above that line for more than a day. BTCUSD advanced after breaking similar patterns in late October, early October and late July. (See the white arrows.)
Next you have the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA). Turns in this line have often marked directional changes, highlighted by our custom script MA speed.
MACD is also showing a potential turn as the fast line nears a cross above the slow line.
At this point the chart offers little clarity because BTCUSD could take another stab to the downside, possibly testing the September high around $52,800. (It came within about $500 of that level on Sunday.) However if it holds and the 8-day EMA starts rising, traders who have seen this pattern before may look for a turn higher.
