I thought today's move was worth posting a new update. So here we go:
So lets put things in perspective, without bulls getting to bullish and bears start to cry :) Like we had a half day ago, but the other way around. In other words, without getting to emotional because of these moves.
First of all, yesterdays drop was just as bad as todays squeeze. There is a difference though IMO, yesterday we saw selling volume during the drop and today we saw a short squeeze. Meaning the first one is more voluntarily and the squeeze is forced. So the market is still looking down looking at those facts. Thing that bothers me about this squeeze, we did not even break the 8200 low. I have been saying that i have 2 scenario's for the short term, bullish and bearish. But both had to drop below the previous low. With the bullish scenario i said that we could find big support around the 8000 and from there on resume the bull trend we have since last month. But since we did not even drop below the 8200 i have a feeling the correction downwards is still not over. I still give this 75% chance that we make another drop to at least below the 8200.
For now it's difficult to judge, this move is still quite strong, the bull is very stable, so we have to assume that we make another move up of at least 100/300 points. To give you a feeling of what i have in mind, i am showing the chart on the left from 2 months ago. The bear flag is almost identical, biggest difference is that the one we are in now is half the size, but the drop from the high is also half the size. I placed those red an green rectangles to show where the price could go if we follow the same pattern as 2 months ago. I think most of you still remember that fake breakout of that bull flag at 8600 to 8850, from that point we made another big drop. The ones who have followed for a longer time, know i use fractals more often, but until a certain point they don't work. So this fractal is not to show that we will drop to the 7000. Only to show that i still think we will make another low around 8000 at least.
If we get above the 9000, than this view gets shaky, above the 9300/9400 it can be thrown out of the window :) and we have to assume the higher low is confirmed (from April) and that we have to look up again. Most alt's were looking quite bad/bearish up until this squeeze, it looks much better now, but still most of them are below their resistance levels. So a push for Bitcoin above 9000 will probably make the picture bullish again for Alts as well.
I hope you find this interesting and helps you to put things in perspective instead of getting too emotional
Good luck
