From the analysis pages of xbt.social, earlier today:

A very close-up look in the 5-minute BTC-China chart [only shown at xbt.social] shows the various indicators as they lead up to the surge higher. We are trading the move in the 15-minute chart, but nothing stops the trader from watching the faster 5-minute chart for clues and an early signal. Just be sure you don’t trade a signal in the 5-minute chart without referencing the 15-minute chart – the 5-minute chart gives plenty of signals for insignificant subwaves.

Our Trade Recommendation has the purpose of trading a similar consolidation and surge higher. If anything else happens in the chart, then we are unlikely to see the TR entry conditions fulfilled, and no position is opened.

The Bitfinex 15-minute chart, above, shows that the last wave down had twice tested support around $230 (dashed grey horizontal line). The wave may still complete with additional lows to support, or may start building a base, smaller than the structure in the left of the chart, from the current area of price action.

The market is keen on advance, and there are likely to be waves that spike to the upside. The market is likely to wind sideways until MACD has fully compressed.

Be on standby to open the position but do not be too eager to initiate your trade. It may take several hours for the surge up to begin.

There is an outside chance – as always in unpredictable markets – that price does not fulfil our expectations and does something else, so stick to the conditions outlined in the Trade Recommendation.

Summary

Bitcoin price is in the process of recovering the chart area toward $300. Having failed to make a lower low, it is likely that the move up will, similarly, print a smaller price wave. We have $270 as a primary target for the current advance, which should surge higher over the weekend.
