BTC/USD Trading Technicals
Technicals from Tradingview.com
A big bounce back for BTC and the market after a very, very bleak Tuesday (especially for altcoins). BTC nearly reached $6500 today but has remained about 4% up for the last few hours, with signs of staying around the $6400 mark, with a potential of steadily climbing. It was the rebound we needed and there is some renewed hope of reaching upper fundamentals right now.
But we’ve also seen the last week seesaw between ups and downs, so will we see swing traders trade today’s gains tomorrow and start this back up again. We know that we’ve seen support for BTC around $5900, so we may see that tested again. For now, we’re looking upward though.
