Bitcoin: buy the dip!

28. November 2021, by Snezhana Popovska
Technical Analysis,  Guest Author Article

Bitcoin was dominating the market and we saw ATH at 69k. Our first target was met. When the resistance becomes support, it’s called polarity. And now we are seeing medium-term correction where Bitcoin is trying to test its support line around 52k. This price lever is also 0.618 Fib retracement level from its last move. I expect the market to hold this price and we can open a long position from there. I would like to add long positions if Bitcoin can get above 56k, but I’d have more conviction if a higher-high above 60k can be achieved. The downside risk is around 47K, the next level of volume of control.

BitcoinOn the second chat are the exchange funding rates. We can see that from Mart to May the funding rates were very high, meaning that lots of people were trading with leverage and buying futures. Now, we can see that the market is washed out of leverage and that the funding rates are very low, which means that this level should be stable.

I remain bullish in the long term if the Bitcoin is above the 50-53k support zone. The macro analysis and the on-chain data are also supporting my view. The correction we saw in May was because of Elon Musk FUD-ing the market and second, because of China banning the crypto. Now, we are seeing massive interest and adoption from people and institutions who are accepting Bitcoin as an asset and diversifying their portfolios.

It's altcoin seasons!

Bitcoin dominance is our next chart. Now the profits are beginning to roll into altcoins. If we see a downward break of this pattern, we can expect another season of altcoins winning the market. Specifically, one segment of altcoins that I am bullish on for a long time is DeFi. DeFi is already a massive multi-billion dollar industry. And experts believe it will soon hit the trillion-dollar mark. If this happens, we will see positively massive gains in the top DeFi cryptos.

I believe we are about to see a sector rotation into the DeFi sector and we can now buy these coins at discounted prices. As technician, I want to spot those undervalued coins that are about to explode where we can see massive gains. We don’t want to buy when the prices are high and enter to late because of FOMO. This is when we want to sell our coins.

These are some of the coins that have been in consolidation for months and now are testing their support zone. If they can hold this support and break out of this consolidation to the upside, we can expect the first target to be their old ATH and second one to make new ATH.

Forbes wrote that Bitcoin could very well hit 100k by the end of the year, and I totally agree. Historically when Bitcoin goes on a massive tear, altcoins aren’t far behind. That’s why I think that right now this could be your “second chance” at transforming your life with crypto gains.
