Regular daily update on BTC ta analysts opinions.

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

• We are holding above 9'000 area.
• Are we able to pick up steam here to go into the 6 digit numbers or do we need a correction first?
• Key area is the range of 9'750 - 9'990. If we break through that more upside is expected. If not we likely see a correction before moving up again.

• April is used to be a good month for crypto. Lets see how this turns out this time: This seems to be confirmed also for 2018. June is usually also a good month - not as good as April though. Lets see.

Analysts key statements:

Tone:

• Weekly: Looks fairly strong. Clearly broke the trend line and got away from 50 MA. He is not yet turning neutral but is close to. Because we had a few weeks a similar move from 6'000 to 12'000 100% up and than back to 6'500 50% down. So we need to be above 12'000.
• Daily: Big down day looked very bearish and he expected to go down to 50 MA but we didn't. We are facing another death cross (128/200). Stagnated near the top.

@haejin:

If Impulse count as shown below is correct then it would probably look like the below chart. Blue wave 3 needs to put in a higher high soon. That higher high needs to be above 9'750.

Alternate count is upward pointing wedge (abcde). Last wave e towards 9'700.

If we get higher high then probable pathway leans towards A) if there is a lower high then the ABC red looks likely.
50:50 chance here.

@ew-and-patterns:

He expects wave 4 to be done in 1-2 days.
Either we are looking at ABC correction or triangle like this:
A)

B)

@lordoftruth:

Move up slowed down considerably. He is convinced that the correction towards 7'500 - 8'000 will start in a couple of days supported by RSI (verge of overbought).
So outlook stays unchanged; April high 9'767 - correction ahead towards 7'500 - 8'000 (early May) to build iSHS pattern. than move towards 12'400 (5/8 reaction form 6'490).
Clear breaking of 9'911 will invalid current scenario.
Todays trend is slightly bearish. Expected trading for today is between 8'750 and 9'911.

@philakonesteemit:

Bullish scenario got confirmed. Possible further small wave up to come. See bull/bear scenarios below.

@passion-ground:

The upward trend in BTC, albeit tempered in comparison to past run-up north of 11k, is nonetheless bullish in his view. He expects a correction towards 8'366 before moving up.
