BITCOIN PRICES TUMBLE TO SUPPORT AMID HEIGHTENED GEOPOLITICAL RISKS

Bitcoin prices have fallen back below $40,000 as risk sentiment continues to follow developments in the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.

With investors recently seeking refuge in safe-haven assets, riskier securities and rising volatility has recently weighed on digital assets, preventing BTC/USD to gain traction beyond the $44,000 handle.

 

BITCOIN (BTC/USD) TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

After rising above the upper bound of the falling wedge formation earlier this month, bulls were able to temporarily drive price action above the key psychological level of $44,000 before retreating back towards the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the 2020 – 2021 move at around $36,540.

As this level continues to provide support for the imminent move, the MACD (moving average convergence/divergence) has crossed on the zero-line while prices remain below both the 10 and 50-period MA (moving average).

With the bearish trajectory currently intact, price action remains below both the 10 and 50-day MA (moving average) as bears attempt to drive prices back within the confines of the falling wedge.

If selling pressure continues to mount, bearish continuation could result in a retest of the January low ($32,932) which paves the way for the 38.2% retracement of the above-mentioned move at around $28,860.

    • Stock market analysis and trading strategies: NASDAQ 100, Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), Amazon (AMZN), Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), Netflix (NFLX), Alphabet (GOOGL)  Stock Market Summary: Wave (i) of v) of 1 of (5) of 1) as a general count for most stocks, however this will be the Elliott wave count for the SP500 and the Nasdaq 100. Some stocks will make new highs, and some won’t, but they will still have the same wave count and I will explain this in today’s video. That said there are stocks like Tesla that are different, however they will move the same on an intraday basis, just with different Elliott wave counts.

    • Thanks. A really interesting video and some interesting statistics and analysis. I haven't the time to go back and analyse whether a strong November increases the chance of there not being a Santa rally, although one of the slides highlights that the negative Santa Rally years were tied with poor November returns for the market such as 2000, 2008 etc which seems a contradiction.  Would I short and back against it happening? When it occurs in over 80% of years... absolutely not.  The Santa Rally – Christmas Growth in the Stock Market. (moneysandi.com)
