Hello Traders, Investors, And TradingView Community,
This is our weekly BTC /USD 1-day timeframe analysis, where we are looking at the most recent events, the current technical formations, as well as discussing possible outcomes.
Overview
Bitcoin has had a week of explosive gains, mostly due to its fundamentals. The US President Donald Trump announced another set of stimulus packages (while he was completely against it just before the announcement), as well as Jack Dorsey's Square investing $50 million in Bitcoin, sparked bulls' interest and made the largest cryptocurrency by market cap push above $11,700. Bitcoin established support above its previous heavy resistance level, which is certainly another great sign for the bulls. However, one technical formation says that additional correction is ahead, before the next push towards $12,000.
Technical factors
Bitcoin has left its triangle formation abruptly and to the upside, breaking not only the formation but also numerous resistances. The price started consolidating in a range bound by $11,300 to the downside and $11,500 to the upside, which was a great trading opportunity for traders that like sideways trading. Taking a look at smaller time-frames, Bitcoin has built a downwards-sloping channel that calls for a slight pullback (and a possible fill of the Bitcoin CME Futures gap) before pushing further up.
There are two versions of this pullback that are most likely, and both will be discussed above. However, an unexpected price spike or plummet are always a possibility, no matter how slim.
Likely Outcomes
Bitcoin currently has two main scenarios it can play out, and both involve a pullback before a push towards $12,000.
1: As shown on the chart, Bitcoin will most likely follow the channel until it finds strong support it cannot go below, after which it will break the channel to the upside. After finding confirmation above it, it is free to push towards the upside ($11,730, $11,960, or even $12,000).
2: The other scenario is a bit tricky, and therefore a bit less likely. The premise for this scenario is the head and shoulders chart pattern that started in late April of this year. The most recent high of this scenario is the top of the right shoulder, while the neckline is the black ascending line shown on the chart. In this scenario, the price would move alongside the dotted line until it hit the neckline, after which it would start to go up. In this case, the pullback and confirmation would most likely happen above $11,300, and only after consolidating above this level could Bitcoin push to the aforementioned targets.
The scenario in which Bitcoin suddenly pushes up or down in a sharp and swift manner is incredibly unlikely, and would have to be backed by some major news.
