Bitcoin falls to 400 following multiple pieces of bad press worldwide, including but not limited to:
– Huobi, one of the world’s largest bitcoin exchanges, announcing , that they will be closing Huobi’s account next week.
– BTCTrade, another Chinese bitcoin exchange .
– The National Australia Bank is to , citing there’s too much risk involved.
All this bad news means one thing, further bears for Bitcoin and altcoins. Let’s check out the latest BTC/USD hourly chart below (click to expand):
As I explained in my previous analysis, there was a Bollinger Squeeze in place, marked with a white ellipse. There’s always an expansion after a squeeze, often sparked by some major news, such as those mentioned above. Consequently, price fell to 400, which, due to it being a psychological round number, has provided some support for the meantime.
Take a look at the two candles circled in blue; both of them opened and closed below the lower Bollinger band, a rare price action occurrence. Unsurprisngly, price has since tested the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. With the Stochastics heading north and the AC & AO both red, I expect further tests within the next few candles.
