Traders Stay on the Sidelines As Bitcoins Price Stagnates

2018-10-26 17:34

Bitcoin seems to be in a never-ending range between $6380 and $6480. The anticipated breakout never materialized, and price action is now trading right at the point of the triangle pattern which has been forming since January. Trading volume is close to 2018 lows with markets conditions terrible for short-term traders.

Both buyers and sellers are acting cautiously. Both sides may be seeing positions as bad risk-reward tradeoffs resulting in the low levels of volume we have been seeing. From the positions of sellers, a drop in price is likely to find significant support at around the $6000 level which has held up several times this year. A drop to this support may result in a sharp reversal which brings price far above the current price. From the viewpoint of buyers, they may be concerned that another drop to support $6000 may result in a sharp decline below.

Both buyers and sellers seem to be staying on the sidelines until there is some clearer indication of what way the price will be heading. This is reflected in the RSI which is trading around 50 showing equal pressure from what buyers and sellers remain. However, this gives rise to a catch-22 where the traders awaiting further indication before participating in the market spurs further sideways trading on low volume.
