Mixed Markets as Bitcoin [BTC] Price Trades Flat


There is a mixed performance from altcoins as the week starts with some performing well and others undergoing losses. Bitcoin traded relatively flat over the weekend and continued this way as Monday develops.

There was a brief drop to around $6275 yesterday, but Bitcoin recovered to close around where it opened at $6360. We are seeing similar price action today with price action trading close to where it opened despite there being movement in altcoins.

Higher lows have been forming since June, but we have also had lower highs forming. Price has traded outside of the triangle pattern which had been forming since March, but lower highs continue to form. A flatter upper trend line can be drawn to represent the trading range we have seen over the past few months.

Whether price action breaks out of this type of trading to the upside or to the downside is debatable. It is a slow start to the week so far, but as 2018 comes to its end over the next two months, there should be further indications as to which direction Bitcoin is set to move in.

The longer-term weekly chart shows the same low-activity developments as the weekly. The last three weekly candles have formed Dojis where the candle closed at the same point as for where it opened. Doji candles show some indecision in the market and this combined with the low volume being seen presents an environment where traders are unsure of what direction price is headed in next.
