Bitcoin (BTC) Technical AnalysisWeekly ChartBitcoin Weekly Chart by Trading ViewA simple Fibonacci retracement tool between Bitcoin’s all time high low shows that prices are down roughly 65 percent from their 2017 peaks. Coincidentally, that’s where we are seeing pockets of bull pressure. As we can see after the close of last week, the double bar bull reversal pattern from around the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement line is true. This way, we saw prices pushing above $6,800 triggering our buys in lower time frames as a result. Besides that technical formation, the only undoing to potential higher highs is the low volumes accompanying this move up. If we compare recent weekly volumes, the average in the last week lags: it registers 140k to last 10 week’ average of around 170k. Regardless, it seems like prices are bottoming out with Bitcoin marking a turn for the better.
