Bitcoin (BTC/USD)

After the failed attempt to break out of the sideways zone at the 8. January, with rates of just over 4,000 US dollars, a setback that brought the Bitcoin price at the $ 3,500 was again. At this level of the course remains for around two weeks. The Fibonacci Retracement between the and 24. December of last year confirms the indecision.

Currently, the movement is solely between the 78,6% Fibonacci Retracement Level at 3.380 US Dollar and the 50-percent Fibonacci Retracement Level on exports were up by 3,677 USD. In the current state of the cloud of Ichimoku-Kinko-Hyo-indicator is a massive resistance and runs up to 4,400 U.S. dollars, which represents a strong 20 percent. The sell signal from the moving averages is since of 3,800 US dollars active.

Bullish variant:

To bullish pressure, you must Bitcoin be overcome as quickly as possible the resistance at 3,655 thousand dollars. This must be sustainable. The next hurdle is 3.929 US Dollar and thus the price of Bitcoin directly in the cloud of the Ichimoku-Kinko-Hyo-indicator. A breakout above 4.195 US Dollar should draw a clear connection purchases, and also the moving averages in a longer unit of time, a buy signal can create. The objective of the course is 4.701 US Dollar.

Bearish variant:

The stabilization fails to 3,500 US dollars. Of course slips more and the bottom will be tested. The strong support area between 3.132 and 3.303 US Dollar will be tested, but can not provide long.

The XRP exchange rate provides a similar picture as the “reserve currency” Bitcoin. The sell-off of the failed escape attempt was made but two days later, and found, accordingly, on 10. January. Since then, Ripple, close to the year listed on the lows and is well below the cloud of Ichimoku-Kinko-Hyo-indicator. The lower edge of which is currently about 15 percent, and underlines the current weakness of the Coins. After all, the cloud currently offers only a resistance of six percent. The moving averages, a sell-signal signal since 0,38 U.S. dollars, and are still far from this resolve. Nevertheless, From the point of view of the Charts is an interesting Setup.

Ethereum (ETH/USD)

as before, the following applies: Ethereum is the most stable Coin in the Top 3. The High from the 5. January has reached to the penny exactly the resistance at 167 US dollars. Since then, the correction is also running here. So far, the Ethereum can stabilize price near the 61.8-percent Fibonacci Retracement level, which is located at 115 US dollars.

241 U.S. Dollar338 US Dollar

Bearish variant:

The exact calling of the resistance at 167 US dollars and the subsequent drop in price to show how clearly the bears have the upper hand in the case of Ethereum. A re-Test of the lower edge of the cloud of the Ichimoku-Kinko-Hyo-indicator at 130 US-Dollar – trend-catching – is schedule, then it should but the overthe associated downward movement will be continued.
