Current trend
After reaching the level of 3747.40, Bitcoin quotes dropped below the center line of Bollinger Bands and are trading around the level of 3515.63. Technical indicators mainly indicate the preservation of the downward trend potential, but an upward correction is likely. If buyers manage to return the rate above the level of 3593.75 (Murrey [4/8]), which coincides with the center line of Bollinger Bands, then the upward movement with a repeated test of the level of 3750.00 will be possible.
One may speak about the continuation of the downtrend after the price consolidates below 3437.50 (Murrey [0/8]). In this case, the next targets of the sellers will be the area of 3398.44 (Murrey [–1/8])–3359.38 (Murrey [–2/8]). Technical indicators point at the moderate preservation of the downward trend. Bollinger Bands are directed downwards. The volumes of MACD histogram are growing in the negative zone, forming a signal for sale. Stochastic is directed upwards indicating the probability of an upward correction development.
