Regular daily update on BTC ta analysts opinions.
My summary - short-term (next 24h) sentiment: bullish (last: bullish)
We moved up to 8'500 area and now back at 8'100.
RSI on all timeframes up to daily is at overbought level.
We closed over 7'664 (MA128 daily, November 2017 top) - strong signal and also are above bollinger band mid-line.
Major resistances 8'280 (MA50 weekly) and 8'780 (MA 30 weekly).
It seems in the war of the bears and bulls we are entering another battle: Can the bulls create enough FOMO to create distance to the lows and overcome major resistance levels? If so we are not going to see the current levels for a long time.
Or do the bears lead the bulls into a trap and than smashing hard to the downside. That would create a lot of frustration and might lead to the capitulation which you would expect to be necessary to call the bear market over.
Bull scenario*:
- After completing 5 waves up we reconfirm 7'000+ level in a ABC pull back gathering strength for another move up.
- That confirms a higher low and bullish 5 wave count.
- Alternate: Bull flag is forming - that brings us directly to next resistance level at 8'300 from here.
- Volume needs to increase.
- We overcome the death cross area of the 30/50 week MA and break above it.
Bearish scenario*:
- We move up for one or two weeks into the death cross (30 and 50 MA weekly) at around 8'500 and than drop significantly.
- Alternate - bears are turning after the RSI gets oversold and make a lower low
- After breaking 5'800 a significant drop towards new lows in the range of 4'975 and 4'300.
*scenarios based on daily-candles - so around 4-14 days timeframe. See also definition section
Summary of targets/support/resistance of TAs
Short-term overview
mid- and long-term overview
- please refer to definition section for time-horizon.
- be aware that mid- and long-term is mostly my interpretation of what analysts sentiment is as they not always clearly differentiate those time-frames. To interpret that consistently is very hard so please be kind with my interpretation.
- you can easily spot which analyst did an update
(block writing - grey ones don't have an update today).
Their changes are in light blue.
Helpful statistics:
monthly performances
- Added 2012 + 2013 on request.
- As 2012 and 2013 the % move are gigantic I added two averages. One without 2012 + 2013.
- June performance was very weak. With -14.8% clearly below the average of the last years. With 2013 this is the only negative month at all.
- July is a mixed bag - 2 year positive performance and 2 year of negative performance. 2012 and 2013 were positive though.
- The average is positive with 2.1% but that is mainly due to the bull rund 2017. The average incl. 2012and 2013 is even more positive. That is mainly due to the 40%+ spike in 2012 so I wouldn't rely on that.
So just looking at this table we probably facing another negative month.
News about the blog
- I added two analysts
- CryptoCred: Posting target on twitter and has very good educational videos. See Educational links section for them.
- Forflies: I added him not knowing him too well - that is why his logo is in grey box - meaning under evaluation.
Analysts key statements:
Tone (bullish):
Weekly: We got green 2 above green 1. That is a bullish sign. We are close to the death cross. He sees a high probability that we are turned around any moment. Weekly RSI is not higher than 55 a resistance line.
Daily: We are on a 9 - watch out for pull back.
Still short term he is bullish but mid-term remains bearish.
@lordoftruth (slightly bullish):
Bitcoin price keeps achieving strong gains supported by EMA50 to suggest that, the bullish trend will continue towards 8'642 and this rising above 8'000 was due to prospects of the first cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) Approval.
We can clearly see the Low at 5'782, has provided slowly, fresh buying pressure for Bitcoin price, which the weakness of the bears try to push the price toward the major resistance level at 8'642.
RSI reflect a return in selling pressure, similarly Stochastic signal a return in bearish pressure. The reason why we believe the sellers might try to take control of Bitcoin price around 8'642.
Todays trend is Slighty Bullish. Trading between 8'000 and 8'642.
@ew-and-patterns (bullish):
I suspect this to still be part of blue wave 3. 162% or a little overshooting of 8540 would be the perfect target for blue wave 3.
After this wave 3, I expect a bigger correction lasting a few days until the beginning of August. 7500 - 7400 would be a reasonable target for blue wave 4.
@passion-ground (neutral):
The above song is from a 1977 Isley Brothers album entitled, “Go for Your Guns.” Although most hodlers “went for their guns” a long time ago, the price of BTC is climbing, - it keeps pushin’ - and we’re bound to know. (If the recent low is going to hold or not – that is.) Though the ladder remains shaky, it still remains up that we gotta go! "Ain't nuthin' wrong, babe, in believin' in a dream!"
We were extremely overbought. RSI is showing divergence against those highs (4hours). That tells him we need to pull back some time. If we do so he would like to see that the uptrend channel holds.
TradeDevils (bullish):
He sees an algo target at 8'000 area. That is where he expects to move as wave 3 before we see a retracement.
The retracement he expects to be shallow to 7'600 area and than move up to a new high at 8'400 target.
We need to get over 8'500 which is critical to support bullish case vs. bearish case.
Symmetry of the wave support the bullish case as well (boxes) - in a bearish case first box would be a wave 2 and second box a wave 4.
After wave 1 is completed - he sees a ABC correction which is a great trade to do.
UglyOldGoat (bullish):
No news on market but he has written an interesting educational article.
check it out
Crypto Cred (bullish):
Price reached yesterday's target — what now?
I'm favouring a retracement.
I) Price spiked into liquidity & closed below - buyers trapped
II) Untested S/R level at 7540s
III) Red low must hold to maintain overall bullish structure
Wrong if close through 7.8k.
Froflies (bullish):
He sees that we might form another bull flag and continue to go up.
We are trading in Ichimoku cloud for one week. The longer we trade in it - that is concerning. He wishes for a quick breach of it.
He sees volume is confirming break out.
Also btc dominance is rising which signals a sound uptrend.
Are the bears gone? This impulsive wave looks strongly like the bears lost their strength.

Definition
- light blue highlighted = all content that changed since last update.
- sentiment = how in general the analysts see the current situation (bearish = lower prices more likely / bullish = higher prices more likely). The sentiment is based on 4hr, daily, weekly, monthly candle charts.
- The forecast time horizon of candles can be compared with approx. 4hr = 1-2 days; daily = 4-14 days; weekly = 4 - 14 weeks; monthly = 4 - 14 month.
- target = the next (short term) price target an analysts mentions. This might be next day or in a few days. It might be that an analyst is bullish but sees a short term pull-back so giving nevertheless a lower (short term) target.
- support/res(istance) = Most significant support or resistances mentioned by the analysts. If those are breached a significant move to the upside or downside is expected.

Our weekly Crypto report found that BTC resistance was at $7,800-$8,000 level as Global Volume continues to decrease https://news.caviar.io/crypto-weekly-outlook-week-of-july-23-1a4374aee81a
@famunger I think BTC has already entered bullish market now. And it should sustain good amount of trading volume to remain in the bull market.
if the ETF gets denied it will dump, of course the delay will later again slowly bring the price back up. but short term if it gets denied it will dump. once ETF approved then the bear will be over.
That's correct
