2 min readTable of Contents
Bitcoin (BTC) regained all of its losses from Dec. 27 and is currently making more attempts at reaching new highs.
Bitcoin is expected to be successful in reaching a high between $29,800 and $30,730.
Bitcoin Shooting Star Resistance Dissipates
Yesterday, BTC continued its ascent, creating a long lower wick and reaching a positive close. Today it briefly reached a high of $28,580 above the shooting star wick.
Technical indicators are still bullish and show no clear signs of weakness.
Future Movement
The two-hour chart is also bullish.
First, it shows that BTC has already broken out from a descending resistance line, which was the catalyst for the most recent upward movement.
Furthermore, BTC moved above the $27,800 resistance area after and validated it as support (shown with the green arrow below).
Similar to the daily time-frame, technical indicators are also bullish, supporting the possibility that BTC resumes its upward movement.
BTC Wave Count
The wave count suggests that BTC is in sub-wave 5 (shown in black below) of wave 5 (orange).
A possible target for the formation to end would be at $29,800 (3.61 Fib extension of wave 1). The next resistance past that would likely be seen at $33,600.
A closer look shows that BTC could be nearing the top of its move. The minor sub-wave count shown in blue.
A similar target of $29,357 is found using the 4.61 Fib extension of sub-wave 1.
The invalidation for this bullish count would be found at $25,831, below the minor sub-wave 2 (shown with the red line).
A significant correction would be expected after the move is complete, as outlined in our article from Monday.
Conclusion
Bitcoin is expected to resume its upward movement and reach a high between $29,350-$29,800 before decreasing.
