Bitcoin BTC/USD Price Analysis
Price wise, BTC is up three percent in the last 24 hours and that means prices are trending above Feb 8 highs. As it is, our anchor bar is Feb 8 and as a high volume bar, it is trendsetting and shapes price action in the short-term.
Moving on, it is clear that trade conditions set in our last trade plans are true and with a high-volume bull bar now thrusting prices above $3,800, the path towards $4,500–Dec 2018 highs and later $5,800–$6,000 are now paved.
It’s easy to see why. Not only does this bar complement those of Feb 8 but also bring forth price action of mid-Dec 2018 and as long as prices find support at 78.6 percent Fibonacci retracement mark of Dec 2018 high low, the path towards $4,800 appear inevitable. In that case, risk off traders can at any time fine tune entries in lower time frames with first targets at $4,500 and if prices are extended, then $5,800 and even $6,000.
