BTC surges > 200-dma toward resistance at 9K – Daily RSI overbought

Apr 29, 2020 • 2 Min Read

BTC recaptures a key technical threshold accelerating above its widely monitored 200-dma. BTC surged above a key resistance level at its 200-dma toward its next resistance near 9K coinciding with a 76.4% retracement of the Q1 decline and the early March highs at 9.2K.

Given daily RSI and the 4-hour RSI have now moved into overbought territory, our expectation is for a short-term pause pullback to develop with first support near 8K near the 200-dma and 62% retracement zone.

Stepping back - The big picture: A broad basing profile rally from a longer-term rising uptrend - BTC’s 3-year chart profile remains in a downtrend from the 2018 highs with the Q1 2020 highs near 10-10.5K the key upside resistance band that will need to be exceeded to confirm a longer-term upside trend reversal. Recognizing the risks of pre-judging technical patterns before they resolve one way or another, we are viewing the incredibly volatile trading range since 2018 as a longer-term basing/consolidation profile that has bottomed near its long-term uptrend (200-week sma) and will likely resolve the bigger multi-year pattern to the upside over the coming 2-4 quarters.

BITCOIN (BTC) “CRYPTO-WINTER” LOOKS TO BE OVER.  A BULLISH 2024 LOOKS LIKELY TECHNICALLY FOLLOWING A 1Q CONSOLIDATION. Bitcoin looks to be giving off strong signals that the crypto-winter that has kept most coins in bear markets over the last couple years has finally run its course.  The act of having taken the lead ahead of many cryptocurrencies in finally surpassing the 50% retracement area of its entire decline from 2021...
