1. Basics of the Bitcoin-price-analysis
Who deals with the technical analysis of the Bitcoin price, you can’t get past a basic vocabulary. Here is a small list of important terms, especially in the following lines is important.

The ratio of the two values in the Stock and Flow describes, finally, the amount of time that it would take at the current speed, the maximum of is reached of the total inventory. Ultimately, the Stock-to-Flow ratio describes the scarcity of the asset – the higher the Stock-to-Flow ratio, the less the Good.
Gold is a scarce commodity. Bitcoin also.
The maximum amount of BTC is set by Protocol – the money system is deflationary designed. Therefore, the rare is called Good by analogy to the most famous of all precious metals and also as a digital Gold. Be Stock-to-Flow ratio increases. Currently “mining” Miner approximately 657.000 BTC per year, per Block to 12.5 BTC get Miner. Currently 17.987.262 BTC are in circulation, the Stock-to-Flow ratio is just under 27,37 years.
This ratio will rise significantly next year, in may 2020, the next Halving is due. The reward for miners is cut in half to 6.25 BTC per Block. The Stock-to-Flow ratio will be around 53 years and on the Gold (currently 58 years old) approach. At the next Halving, Bitcoin will reach an unprecedented value of over 100.

3. Ichimoku-Kinko-Hyo-indicator
a shortcut To the right of the tongue-breaking name of Ichimoku-Kinko-Hyo-indicator, something that is traders the name of “Ichimoku cloud” by. It describes the market mood as well as important supports or Resistances of the Bitcoin exchange rate. The key lines are the following:
Conversion Line : A mean value that describes the average of the High of the last nine days and the Low in the same period of time. In the technical analysis of the market, she describes (among other things) the market trend . the Base Line : Based on the Conversion Line and the Base Line is the average of the High and Low of the last 26 days. The price of Bitcoin drops below this line, the as a lot of bids due soon Signal, if it exceeds, you will be deemed to have bullishes Signal. the Lagging Span : it represents the Bitcoin rate, however, by 26 days in the past moved.
Now you have to do is carry out some further calculations and you can see the Ichimoku cloud on the horizon. It is the average of Conversion Line and Base Line , and receives the first limit ( Lead 1 ) for the so-called Kumo-cloud .
Finally, we calculated the average of the High and Low of the Bitcoin-price of the last 52 days, and carries him with 26 days shift in his Chart ( Lead 2) . Together, Lead 1 and Lead 2 to form the Kumo cloud and combine with the Lagging Span to Ichimoku cloud.
What does this have to do with the Bitcoin price?

The MACD describes so, in the end, Trends and to give you information on the longer-term course development.
What does this have to do with the Bitcoin price?
Who with the MACD handlingt, from which it derives certain signals to the dealing with of the largest crypto currency by market capitalization. The rule of thumb is simple: Cuts the MACD line, the signal line from above, a sell signal is set, contrary, can be interpreted as a buy signal.
5. The Golden cross
the last Signal, on the some traders nailing the Bitcoin price, is the Golden cross. Here, too, a sliding mean values, the one or the other may feel like the MACD recalls. The Golden cross of two signals – the MA50 and the MA200 meet. This is the average Bitcoin price over the last 50 or 200 days. They meet and together form a cross, to recognize analysts here is a bullishes Signal. Here are analysts to recognize a reversal of the trend: The bear market will become a bull market.
