Weekly Chart – BTC/USD price prediction

bitcoin price analysisTechnically, we are net bullish on BTC and this is all thanks to the superb gains above the main resistance trend line registered on Oct 15. At some point, Bitcoin prices printed above $7,600. This not only triggered bulls at our main resistance zone between $6,800 and $7,200 on the upper hand but the volume behind this hinted of a well-padded bullish move.

Therefore, despite the re-adjustment of price and the formation of an inverted hammer thanks to bear pressure in lower time frames, we expect Bitcoin bulls to trade in the direction of the bear break out ramping up on dips with sure stops at around $6,200 and $6,400, which is the upper limit of our support zone.

Remember, should bears step on gas and our stops are hit then it’s likely that bears would follow through on week ending Sep 23 bears and drive prices below the lower limit of our support zone which also double up as 2018 lows at $5,800.

Nevertheless, as mentioned above, this is an opportunity for risk-averse traders to load on BTC at a discount with safe stops anywhere between $6,200 and $6,400.

That makes a reasonable risk-reward ratio now that our first target is at $8,000 and later $8,500. Declines that hit our stops invalidate our bull projection reverting us back to neutral.
