Bitcoin Price Watch; Return to the Upside

By June 9, 2016Bitcoin Business

After last week’s volatility, we expected that – this week – we might see some level of action in the bitcoin price. We are now closing in on the close of the week, with the start of the early morning session out of Europe on Thursday, and the week hasn’t quite played out as we’d hoped. We have seen some level of sustained volatility – Tuesdays decline carried through to fresh lows and we managed to get in on a short entry based off this action – but since Tuesday evening, things have been relatively flat. We have traded within a relatively tight range (circa $10) and not really seen any actionable breakouts.

Looking at breakout, if price closes above resistance we will enter longer towards an upside target of 590. Conversely, if price breaks below support, we will look to enter short towards 566. A […]
