The Bitcoin market continues to see significant support near the $90,000 level during the early hours of Wednesday. Ultimately, this is a market that looks as if traders are trying to work off some of the excess froth that we have seen recently.
Bitcoin has rallied slightly in the early hours on Wednesdays as we continue to see a lot of back and forth. If you remember I had suggested over the last couple of days that we may have a little bit of back and forth action between $90,000 and $100,000 and I still believe that and I still think that on the situation where despite the volume pickup, I think it’s a lot of FOMO trading and that’s not generally enough to get the markets moving when you have institutions involved.
Even if we were to break down below the $90,000 level, I do think that the $80,000 level is likely to end up being massive support. Not only is it a large round psychologically significant figure, but it’s also where we see the 50 day EMA. Because of this, I do think that there would be a little bit of a pushback if we tried to break down below there. That being said, if we do rally from here and I think we probably will, the $100,000 level will continue to be a psychologically significant barrier that a lot of people will have to pay attention to. If that’s going to be the case, then you’ve got a scenario where it probably takes several attempts, but once we do break above the $100,000 level, I suspect that there will be a lot of momentum in this market.
When you look at the chart, you can see we’ve gone straight up in the air, so quite frankly, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to pull back towards the $80,000 level. It would still look extraordinarily bullish; it just would look like Bitcoin finally acknowledged gravity.
