2018-10-8 17:29

Bitcoin continues to consolidate as October progresses. Price action is trading around the end of the triangle pattern which has been forming since January. In previous articles, we outlined three potential scenarios which could play out. Many traders were anticipating a bullish or bearish breakout but not many considered a continued consolidation as the pattern breaks down.

The scenario of a continued consolidation is becoming more likely the longer we fail to see a breakout. It looked as if we were going to see a bullish breakout briefly on Friday as price action traded up to $6750 outside of the triangle pattern but retraced afterward failing to close outside of the triangle. Since this, volatility has continued to record 2018 lows as measured by the average true range (ATR). It is currently trading around 200.

The last few hours have seen an appreciation for price action outside of the triangle pattern but whether it can close above remains to be seen. Over the course of a few hours, the price rose around $6600 to $6720, an around 2% gain. It has since retraced to around $6650. Short-term momentum remains with the buyers as the MACD continues to diverge to the upside.
