BTC/USD Daily Chart Technical Analysis

View

Bitcoin prices are attempting to form a bottom but have been unable to gain traction.

Bitcoin prices continue to trade sideways despite a pickup in riskier assets. Prices have been unable to recapture resistance near the 10-day moving average at 6,740.  A break of this level would likely lead to a test of the 50-day moving average at 8,790. Momentum is neutral as the MACD histogram is printing a reading near the zero-index level with a flat trajectory which reflects consolidation. The fast-stochastic recently generated a crossover sell signal but the trajectory is flat which also reflects consolidation.

Up-side Target:       6,740

Down-side Target:  6,060
