Bitcoin

Fig 3 - Bitcoin 4H Chart

Bitcoin continues its upward movement, following its Tuesday's sharp selloff. Yesterday, it made an important bullish move above $9,750, the last top before the Bart Simpson pattern. The price moves in the upper side of the Bollinger bands, but still far from a healthy momentum. We see the price is following the 30-period SMA as if the market trusted this metric as a fair value for the asset. The RSI continues moving up as well.

Technical Factors

• Price above its 20- 50- and 200-SMA +

• Price action above the Pivot level +

• The prices moving in the upper side of the Bollinger bands +

• Bollinger Bands slightly upwards +

• Price above $9,750 level +

• RSI continues up +

• Low traded volume -

Bitcoin's Outlook

BTC is moving sideways for the last 16 hours. It needs to show more strength soon, or sellers will take control of the action and drop it below the 9,750 level. Buyers should wait for action above $9,850 on increasing volume.

Pivot Levels

Ethereum

Fig 4 - Ethereum 4H Chart

Ethereum is moving sideways near the $247.4 level. Its price moves above, but close, to the mean-Bollinger line, as the RSI is backing slightly from the 60 mark.

Technical Factors

• The slope of the linear regression channel is positive +

• The price above its 200-, 50- and 20- SMA +

• The slopes of the 20- 50- and 200-SMA are positive +

• Price continues its upward trend in the upper side of the Linear Regression channel +

• Bollinger turning sideways N

• Prices moving above its pivot level +

Ethereum's Outlook

As said, Ethreum is pausing its upward movement. The price moves near three resistance levels ( 247.46, 250, and 353.7), making things difficult for traders unless the whole market moves up in unison.
Buyers should wait for a break of the 247.5 level. Sellers should watch a breakdown of the neckline that may complete the H&S pattern. In that case, entries should be taken after consolidation and re-test of the neckline.

Pivot Levels

Ripple

Fig 5 - Ripple 4H Chart

Ripple continues moving sideways after an attempt to move above $0.20676. On the 4H Chart, We see the price that follows the 50-Period SMA and is currently touching its 200-Period SMA. The RSI shows a horizontal path that matches the directionless nature of its price.

Technical Factors

• Linear regression channel has a positive slope +

• Price above its 50- and 200-period SMA +

• Prices still above Pivot level +

• Bollinger bands moving sideways N

• RSI sideways near 50 N

Ripple's Outlook

Ripple is currently moving without direction. Buyers should wait for a close above $0.20676, while sellers should look for a break of the $0.20 line. As this asset shows almost no volatility, it is better to focus the trading activity on better assets until this one shows signs of a wake-up. Pivot and key levels are unchanged.
