Moreover, due to the high volaility the traders might get in FOMO or FUD soon. This is the third time during the holidays that the price flipped on either side. The first two were both a bullish and a bearish fake-out. As Josh Rager notes,
You’re allowed to flip bias at any moment when analysis shows, just like any trader who switches from short to long
Hence, while their are arguments on both side with no clear direction, the range between $7800 and $6900 is a crtical threshold. However, one must follow their trading plan and sticks to their stops. Moreover, hedging of leveraged trade also reduces the risk.
