Market update

Is Bitcoin ready to make a big move? We saw another week of low volatility where the largest crypto by market cap ranged between $14,500 and $15,000 AUD - the holding pattern is likely due to events in the US that spooked markets across the board.

We can see that Bitcoin is being squeezed into an ever shrinking corner of an ascending triangle pattern formed back at the start of September. The $15,000 level appears crucial and Bitcoin is having trouble getting above this key resistance area. Of note, BTC now sits on top of the key 50 EMA on the daily charts but if BTC continues sideways, the likelihood we see a breakdown from the ascending triangle grows.

The sense is that the market is building towards a big move. This is the time for bulls to flex their muscles and put bears to the sword above $15,000, pushing the market higher on the back of renewed confidence in US Stocks. If $15,000 can be breached with confidence, then the low $16,000’s will be a firm target. Bears will be watching for a fake-out above this level and look to push price down to the base of the triangle at $14,800.

Alt-coins have had a moment as BTC goes sideways...Zilliqa was a big mover up 32% and Zcash up 15% over 7-days.
