• There is a crucial bullish trend line formed with support at $3,920 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).

The pair remains well supported on dips near the $3,920 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).

Bitcoin Price Weekly Analysis (BTC)

This past week, there was a decent upward move above $4,000 in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair traded in a range above the $3,940 support level and finally broke the $4,000 resistance level. Buyers pushed the price above the $4,020 resistance and a new monthly high was formed at $4,064. However, buyers failed to hold gains above $4,020, resulting in a sharp decline below $4,000. The price dropped heavily and broke the $3,960 and $3,940 support levels.

There was even a spike below the $3,900 support and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). Having said that, buyers defended the $3,900 support and the price bounced back sharply above $3,940. There was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $4,064 high to $3,869 low. The recent recovery was solid, but the price faced a strong offer zone near the $4,000 resistance. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $4,064 high to $3,869 low also acted as a hurdle.

At the moment, the price is consolidating below the $4,000 resistance. Besides, there is a short term connecting bearish trend line in place with resistance at $3,990 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. A clear break above the trend line and $4,000 could open the doors for a fresh upward move. On the downside, there are many supports near the $3,940 and $3,920 levels. There is also a crucial bullish trend line forming with support at $3,920 on the same chart.

Looking at the chart, BTC price is clearly well supported on the downside near the $3,940 and $3.920 levels. As long as the price is above the $3,900 support and the 100 SMA, there are chances of a steady rise in the coming sessions. Buyers may wait for a clear break above the $4,000 and $4,020 resistance levels to gain control.

Bitcoin – Base formation or rising wedge?

• BTC bears unable to break on the downside.

• Bulls unable to cross past range $4,100-$4,400.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation has been forming a technical pattern that's making it difficult for the bulls as well as bears to break past easily. However, as soon as it breaks on either side, the moves would be large enough
 

BTC/USD is trading flat on day at $3,986 and in less than one percent range for the day – proof of consolidation days of the poster boy of cryptos. On the 720-minute chart, after forming bottom of $3,126 in the month of December last year, the king of cryptos has been slowly and gradually moving up.
 

Inspite that, the bulls have not been able to cross past the range of $4,100-$4,400. Resulting in a base formation on the downside and a rising wedge like formation. If rising wedge holds true (which it may not, given past failures of falling wedges) then the next downside on BTC would be chaotic as the fall would then bring about sub-$2k levels.

Bitcoin can surge as high as $400,000

Naeem Alsam, Chief market analyst at Think Markets, columnist at Forbes, and crypto enthusiast, said that he personally believes that each Bitcoin can go up as much as $400K.

Naeem Aslam, the chief market analyst at Think Markets U.K., explained why the $4,000 level is of such importance for Bitcoin, as it will set the trend for which direction the markets will take next.

'Questions are being asked constantly when it comes to Bitcoin's battle with the $4000 mark', Aslam said.

'The result of this battle sets the tone for a bullish or bearish trend. Since December 14, 2018, there have been several battles between bulls and bears at the price level of $4K. In each of this battle, bulls have lost the war because, after the first attack at the $4K level, the bears have been able to gain enough strength to push the price back below this critical mark. It is in this essence, that this level has become a matter of death or life for crypto traders.'

The chief market analyst went on to say that 'if you are a long-term investor, you will not really worry about these short-term levels', referring to the fact that Bitcoin's current price levels do seem to be significant in the short term, in the long term these prices may turn out to be highly insignificant, as Aslam believes that BTC could eventually surge as high as $400k.

'This is because there is a high chance that the next bull run has a minimum potential of pushing the price 5 times higher. That is over $100K', Aslam said.

'I personally believe that each Bitcoin can go up to as much as $400K and if history repeats itself, this number is not a fool’s paradise. This is a simple math calculation: approximate percentage projection of the price which we experienced during the last bull run.'

In the beginning of December 2018, Aslam already mentioned that the feeling of panic which was and (still is) spreading throughout the crypto universe was a good indicator that a Bitcoin bottom was close enough.

Chepicap reported recently that another prominent cryptocurrency trader, going by the Twitter handle Galaxy, tweeted to his 49K Twitter followers that April will be the last month where you will be able to grab yourself some cheap Bitcoin.

The analyst said that more often than not, the Bitcoin price seems to move in a random manner. However, BTC creates repeating patterns and trends, and according to Galaxy, this observed pattern will make April 2019 the last month of cheap $BTC … ever again!

Bitcoin Cash price analysis – BCH/USD capped by $160.00, bears are on the alert

• BCH/USD has gained over 22% in recent 7 days.

• The upside may be limited due to technical correction.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH), the sixth largest coin by market value, is changing hands at $156.23. The coin has gained 1.2% since this time on Wednesday, though it is still 6% lower from the recent high touched at $166.53 on March 18. Bitcoin Cash has a capitalization of $2.8B and an average daily trading volume $376M.

On the intraday level, BCH/USD is supported by SMA100 (1-hour) currently at $156.49. Once it is cleared, the downside is likely to gain traction with the next bearish target $152.90 (Wednesday’s low) followed by psychological $150.00. Meanwhile, a sustainable move lower will open up the way towards $147.50 (SMA50, 4-hour) and $146.70 (SMA200, 1-hour).

On the upside, the major short-term target is $160.00, followed by the recent high at $166.53. The ultimate bullish target at this stage is $170.00; however, the move towards that area seems less likely considering flat intraday RSI and an extended consolidation below recent highs.

Bitcoin maintains above $4K, most top 100 in red, Kin sees 47% gain

The new week has started in a not-too-good stance for almost all coins in the top 100, with few exceptions coming from coins, such as Stellar (XLM), Kin and Enjin Coin (ENJ).
 

Overall

The new week has started low for most coins as red color dominates the top 100-coin list. That said, the total market capitalization doesn’t see any significant changes at $139,654,671,582.

Top 10

The largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC) has successfully maintained its value above $4,000 at $4,034, despite seeing a minor 0.38% loss in the last 24 hours.

The other coins on the top 10 have been seeing losses, except Stellar (XLM) and Tether (USDT), with the biggest loss experienced by Litecoin (LTC) with -3.05% at $60.1 price point.

XLM is leading the gain by 2.55% at $0.11, while USDT sees a 0.21% gain at $1.01 price point.

Top 100

Most coins in the top 100 are in red color, with few exceptions, such as Enjin Coin (ENJ), Ravencoin (RVN), Maximine Coin (MXM) and Kin (KIN).

The biggest gain is seen by KIN with an impressive 47.8% at $0.000073, followed by ENJ and MXM that see 15.39% and 12.67% gains at $0.19 and $0.04 price points respectively.

Crypto.com Chain (CRO) has again seen another dip with -9.56% at $0.068, followed by REPO with -7.73% at $0.61 and DigiByte (DGB) with -7.16% at $0.013.

Will BTC maintain above $4,000 the whole week? Will Craig "Faketoshi" Wright's legal issue and his decision to leave the Twitter-verse have an impact on Bitcoin SV's price? Stick with Chepicap to find out.
