BTCUSD Long-term Trend – Ranging
Distribution territories: $8,500, $9,500, $10,500.
Accumulation territories: $5,500, $4,500, $3,500.
The cryptocurrency markets have been plagued by a bearish trend and Bitcoin wasn’t an exception. This week, Bitcoin’s price went down towards the accumulation territory of $5,800, against our projected value of $5,500.
It has as well been observed that the cryptocurrency has experienced a certain degree of ranging movements in its price. Currently, BTC’s price is fluctuating between the distribution and accumulation territories of $6,800 and $5,800.
The bulls haven’t had a strong presence in the market, as the crypto’s price has been easily dragged down. It has now been hovering along the 14-day SMA’s trend-line. The 14-day SMA has intersected the 50-day SMA from the top.
Stochastic Oscillators have penetrated into the oversold zone, and now point north. This suggests the bulls are striving hard re-enter the market. The current ranging movements in BTCUSD may be maintained for the next few days, a period in which the bears will likely have the upper hand.
A bullish market may be confirmed if the distribution territory of $6,800 is breached. Any visible strong price move has the potential of profitably being used by traders. Investors may consider buying while the price dips.
