Bitcoin: EMA100 As Resistance, Now Support

Reflecting on Bitcoin’s move in 2019, Alanmaster said BTC conquered EMA100 in April and it was succeeded by a very strong bullish rally.

Back then, Bitcoin maintained the tempo till June – July 2019 before a retracement was witnessed and BTC afterward tested all conquered levels as support.

Alanmaster, nevertheless, said Bitcoin bounces off each time a level is hit down the chart. The analyst expressed that the price of Bitcoin bounced from $9,500 low to $11,700 in late July when the EMA10 was hit.

Similarly, when the EMA50 was hit in late September, a price rebound towards the ceiling was seen in October.

Alanmaster furthered that now that the EMA100 has been hit, we are expecting a bounce off the dip, and such is gradually playing out.

Bitcoin Weekly EMA10 vs EMA50 Bearish Cross

Using another indicator, Alanmaster said Bitcoin has made a bearish cross. The TradingView analyst said the EMA10 line has crossed down the EMA50 line, indicating a “bearish cross.”
