[famunger]

Regular daily update on BTC ta analysts opinions.

**My summary - short-term sentiment: bearish ** (last: bearish)

• Found support for the moment 8'100.

• Still more downside expected by most analysts. 7'700 - 7'500 is expected.

• Some analysts see a possible move up from here. Critical levels to watch 8'650 - 9'250. If this is broken bullish momentum is taking over.

• May is usually a strong month. Lets see how it plays out in 2018.

Analysts key statements:

Tone:

• Weekly: We have a price flip - neutral. No consensus pump at all.
  We are trading below 30 MA which is bad. We start trading below 7 MA wich is bad. We are approaching 50 MA but he doesn't think it will hold. He expects it to break in June and for July he expects prices below 6'000 to come.
• Daily: He is not expecting a retest of the 8'800 as this happened already in his view. So he is expecting btc to go lower from here.
• 12h: The support at 8'400 is broken an he is expecting down move to accelerate to 7'800-7'600 find support and bounce us to 8'400.
  

@haejin:

longer term perspective: Cup & Handle is still in progress. As soon as the red E wave is complete, a trend reversal is expected.

The short term shows that there was a bounce. The yellow ABC are the subwaves of the red B. If yellow A is complete and B is nearly so yellow C wave bounce is expected next. That would complete the red B and so C would onset.

@ew-and-patterns:

The bearflag pattern was dissolved like in a textbook example. He expects us to go up from here. Now, the further price action will depend on whether we will see 3 waves up or 5 waves up next. If we see 3 waves up, the correction cannot be done yet.
Two scenarios: 3 Waves up (bearish)

5 waves up (bullish)

@lordoftruth:

Bearish signs suggest price towards 7'650 - 7'770 area.
Bitcoin may pause from its drop as a double bottom formation can be seen on the 1-hour chart but from the technical point of view, the moving averages point to bearish risks in the short term, and oscillator is nearing overbought levels to reflect exhaustion.
He sees signs that market will likely continue dropping right to the next support area at 5/8 level at 7'770.
If bitcoin price fail to turn up at around 7'770 level - 6'519 low will be broken.
Todays trend is neutral. Trading between 7'770 and 9'050.

@philakonesteemit:

On the bearish side he sees retest of 8'650 to 8'750 range and than go down for 7'700 - 7'800.

On the bullish side, a break above 9'900 can signal a rally to 11'500, 11'750 range. Wave (3).

So it depends if we get rejected by 8'650 - 8'750 or if we directly go up.

@passion-ground:

Although (basis the 4-hour chart) a bearish 5-wave impulsive decline off the recent 9'848 print high has manifested.From the current pullback low of 8'100, the 9'243 level (a .618 retracement thereof) becomes critical to observe.
If BTC is able to bullishly rally and “sustain” trade above 9'243 from here, it would then become highly likely that 8'100 would mark an interim low, and that we are on our way to riding a bullish 3rd wave up at the minute degree of trend.
If we get rejected instead would increase the likely hood of reaching the noted downside target of 7,966, or possibly lower before we mark the preferred bullish minute 2-wave down.
