The bitcoin market has managed to find support on macro levels that were previously resistant for the first time as we creep up once again for a test of the macro resistance.
Last Friday, we discussed a macro resistance level bitcoin would likely test. The level was tested three times prior and immediately rejected. Now, for the fourth time, we find ourselves situated above the level as we wait to see if our support holds.
Bitcoin finally broke a new high but was rejected immediately, setting us up for a reversal called a “Swing Failure Pattern.” The failure to close above the new high could mean the a liquidity run took place for large institutions to short the market.
Bitcoin broke short-term support on high volume and high spread. The support came on the heels of a week-and-a-half-long consolidation within a narrow range.
“If bitcoin is at a million dollars, then [one] satoshi is on value parity with the U.S. penny," said Jesse Lund, vice president of Blockchain and Digital Currencies at IBM
