BAT Price Analysis

BAT/USD – LONG TERM – DAILY CHART

Analyzing price action from the long-term perspective, we can immediately notice that price action has been continuously suppressed by the sellers throughout the majority of the trading year.

The overall downtrend had recently came to a stop when the market reached support at a downside 1.414 Fibonacci Extension level (drawn in blue) priced at $0.1393 during September 2018. BAT/USD reversed its downtrend at this area, creating the recent price surge from this support.

Let us continue to look at price action a little closer over the past 3 months and highlight potential areas of support and resistance moving forward.

BAT/USD – SHORT TERM – DAILY CHART

Upon closer inspection of BAT/USD from a shorter time horizon, we can see that the support at the downside 1.414 FIbonacci Extension level (drawn in blue) was further strengthened by another shorter-term 1.272 Fibonacci Extension level (drawn in red) priced at $0.1304.

As BAT/USD approached this area of combined support, the buyers stepped back into the market, preventing price action from dipping further lower. Price action went on to surge, beginning at a low of $0.1290 on September 12, 2018 and continuing to a high of $0.3437 on October 12, 2018. This created a price increase totaling 165% from low to high.

As BAT/USD reached the high, it met resistance at a short-term 1.272 Fibonacci Extension level (drawn in purple) priced at $0.3421 before rolling over. We can see that BAT/USD has pulled back to the short-term .236 Fibonacci Retracement level (drawn in green) priced at $0.2936.

Moving forward, in our bullish scenario, if the buyers can continue with their momentum and cause BAT/USD to climb above resistance at $0.3421, we can expect further higher resistance to be located at the short-term 1.414 and 1.618 Fibonacci Extension levels (drawn in purple), priced at $0.3631 and $0.3933 respectively.

If the bullish momentum continues to pressure price action higher, we can then expect further resistance above to be located at the long-term .618 Fibonacci Retracement level (drawn in red) priced at $0.4354, followed by the long-term .5 Fibonacci Retracement level (drawn in red – on previous chart) priced at $0.5494.

Alternatively, in our bearish scenario, if the sellers push price action for BAT/USD below the support at $0.2936, we can expect immediate support below to be found at the short-term .382 and .5 Fibonacci Retracement levels (drawn in green), priced at $0.2623 and $0.2370 respectively.

If the sellers continue to drive price action further lower, we can expect more support beneath to be located at the .618 and .786 Fibonacci Retracement levels (drawn in green), priced at $0.2117 and $0.1766 respectively.

In the case that the sellers continue even further lower, our last 2 levels of support are located at the previous downside 1.272 Fibonacci Extension level (drawn in blue) priced at $0.1393, followed by the September 2018 low priced at $0.1290.

The RSI is producing a reading that heavily favors the bulls within the market as it trades above the 50 handle. So long as the RSI remains above 50, we could expect to see BAT/USD travel higher.
