BTC has reached a new high for this year at 4,000$ so I presume we are now making a new low for the year before we see the next rise come. There has been a lot of fundamental news since Sept and I will drop that below. BTC network is improving and I find that the more it does the more use it will be able to regain. Price has been ranging from 3000 to 4000$ and a solid daily close break above or below this will send us bullish or bearish to the next targets. I see we recently broke out of our upwards momentum back down. This has caused BTCUSD to enter now into a bearish state after a large drop was introduced after the 3rd impulse up to 4200. We are now in a bullish flag range accumulating more liquidity for buyers. I will add more BTC to my collection once I see price come down more back to 3300 zone. If we find ground at 3500 then that will be my entry. Until then I HODL on.
