Regular daily update on BTC ta analysts opinions.

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

• We keep rising but volume and the pace we are rising are bull concerns.

• Bull scenario:
  It seems like we need to break 7'750 - 8'000 to confirm us being in a healthy bull run before any further correction to the downside. That is key in a first step.
  Second step - there are several scenarios seeing us turning in the area of 9'000 - 10'000 for significant downside. So we need to break 10'000 in this larger degree move up.

• Bearish scenario:
  We are not able to break the 8'000 scenario and turn down. Than we likely break 7'350 and go down further to probably new yearly lows.

• @haejin: He is posting bitcoin only on bitcoin live anymore. I am trying to reach out to him to see if we can have an abstract here.

• May is usually a strong month. But not this year. We started at 9'240 and went all the way down to 7'485 (-19%). Lets see how June plays out -usually also a bullish month. Are we going to see a compensation of May with a huge rally up?

• I need to revise my 2018 long term table. I need to add a 2018 and 2019 target an be more precise on the sentiment here. Will do that after I am back in Switzerland.

Analysts key statements:

Tone:

• Weekly: This week has really not much volume in this rally up. Weekly remains below weekly 50MA.
• Daily: The 9 candle is not a swing top - so that is not so perfect for a short trade. He felt it is more likely to go to the top of the triangle but no sign of that yet as we are stuck below 7'750. If we can close above that line the probability is high that we can go up to the top of the triangle at around 8'500.
  Metrics start looking more bullish short term.

@haejin:

@haejin is moving his analysis to bitcoin live. Those of you who want to follow him directly should look into subscription. I will try to get in contact to see if I can use an abstract to post here also in the future.

Bitcoin did a small surge to decisively breach the Neckline of the Inverted H&S pattern. The target for the minimum run for the IHS is 8'200. However, keep into awareness the upward pointing wedge pattern (blue lines). Price will likely go sideways again for most of the day and if there is one more surge, it will either breach the top blue line and invalidate the wedge pattern or validate and confirm it with a decline.

The bull flag pattern is still in progress. Note how the wedge pattern is now sitting just below the belly of the upper white trend line. So, a decision needs to be made. An upside breakout would provide the pathway to the 8'200 target for IHS. However, a downside could jive well with the MACD progression. What does this mean? The next chart clarifies.

Note how the MACD is at the belly of the upper blue trendline. I believe it could do one more turn down towards the lower blue trendline. This turn in MACD could also mean the 6'700 level or so.

@ew-and-patterns:

It is starting to look better. This might be the start of the next impulse wave. BUT:
Keep in mind that we want to see a decisive break of 10'000, before we can assume a stable uptrend.
This could just be wave e developing right now. If it is wave e, we will see a sharp U-turn in the range of 8'800-10'000. If you see that kind of reversal be in high alert mode.
The problem I see is, that even if it is blue wave 1 developing, it could still reverse in the 8'800-10'000 area and be only blue wave 2.

If it is blue wave 1 and wave 2, it will likely reverse to the upside again around 8'000.
We won't know for sure until in a few weeks. Just be aware of the risks. Targets for wave C range from 4'500 -2'400....
Targets for blue wave 1 and 2 range from 12'000 - 17'000.

He will be gone for holidays starting on the 07.06.18 until 14.06.18.

@lordoftruth:

Bitcoin market did not show any strong move, to continue fluctuating within tight ranges. The current situation is quite curious in terms of the price action because we are seeing a move up on low volume followed by depreciation. The reason why we believe, the current environment is the late stage of a short-term up correction within a medium-term decline.

The decline most likely will resume and the situation still bearish, as long as the price below 7'996 - 8'075 area. So we might see a stronger move to the downside in the next 2 weeks.

Aggressive traders opened a short position at 7'750 with SL above 7'996.

Todays trend is bearish. Trading between 7'050 and 7'996.

@philakonesteemit:

A bounce at the 7'000 level was much expected due to hitting a major trend line support established since Nov 11, 2017.
Bullish View, if we break the 7'650 range, there's a chance to hit 7'850 to 8'000 range (0.5 to 0.618 fib retracement)

Bearish View, if we break 7'161 range, we'll most likely test 7'040, which I see as failing to hold and then testing 6'500.

@passion-ground:

BTC must make a print north of 7'990 prior to breaching 7'348 or it’s heading back down.
Though we have thus far held above 7348.25, the move up remains weak and needs to explode to the upside soon for short-term bullish prospects to manifest. See the video for details.

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)
• 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.
• bottom = -> now renamed and moved to long term table. Low 2018
• low/top 2018 = what is the low or the top expected for 2018?
