Sally Ho's Technical Analysis 18 March 2020 BTC ETH

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) appreciated early in today’s Asian session as the pair climbed higher to the 5443.99 area after trading as low as the 5071.00 area during yesterday’s North American session.  During yesterday’s European session, Stops were elected below the 5215.31 area, an upside price objective related to the recent buying pressure from the 3858.00 area.  Stops were elected above the 5477.02 area during yesterday’s North American session, an upside price objective related to recent upward buying pressure from the 4432.20 area.  One range that traders are carefully monitoring is the appreciation from last week’s recent relative low around the 3858.00 area to the 5995.00 levelBuying pressure had earlier materialised at or just below the 4925.60 area, representing the 50% retracement of the appreciating range, and traders await indications the markets may move above or below this short-term range. Another short-term range that traders are monitoring is the depreciation from 5466.75 to 5071.00, with an observation that buying pressure emerged around the 38.2% and 61.8% retracements of that range during yesterday’s North American session.

Following some of the pair’s recent technical resistance around the 5985.00 area, traders are closely watching the 3792, 3274, 2634, and 1599 levels as downside targets. Last week’s significant depreciation involved some of the most acute downward price activity ever experienced by BTC/USD traders.  As traders decoupled from the risks associated with BTC/USD, a series of major Stops were elected below key price levels, and these price areas included the 7793, 7417, 7265, 6993, 6613, 6468, 6345, 5619, 5558, 5329, and 4509 levels.  During the pair’s modest recovery, the pair as high gained ground to the 5885 level, came off to the 4696.55 area, gained ground to the 5995.00 level, and then fell back to the 4924.97 area before moderating.  Below current market activity, traders are closely watching levels including the 4342, 3688, 2882, and 2673 levelsStops are likely in place below these levels.

Price activity is nearest the 50-bar MA (4-hourly) at 6195.61 and the 100-bar MA (Hourly) at 5259.75.

Technical Support is expected around 4342.13/ 3688.61/ 2882.04 with Stops expected below.

Technical Resistance is expected around 5995.00/ 6345.00/ 6993.10 with Stops expected above.

Ethereum (ETH/USD) weakened early in today’s Asian session as the pair traded as low as the 117.37 area after trading as high as the 120.44 area during yesterday’s North American session.  During yesterday’s European and North American sessions, traders again tested the 119.84 area, representing an upside price objective related to buying pressure that commenced around the 90.00 area.  During a pullback during yesterday’s North American session, bids emerged around the 112.76 area, just below the 38.2% retracement of the appreciation from 100.50 to 121.48.  Traders are closely monitoring price activity relative to a recent range, namely the recent appreciation from the multi-month low around the 90.00 area and subsequent appreciation to the 148.00 area.  The market had been supported around the 125.84 area for several trading sessions, representing the 38.2% retracement of the appreciating range.  Prior to that, the market found some technical support around the 116.25 area, a very important technical level because it represented the previous recent relative low from late December.

Last week’s major sell-off saw ETH/USD experience one of its most dramatic sell-offs ever, a move that exacerbated the downturn from the 290.00 area that began in February.  Traders exited long positions and decoupled from risk associated with ETH/USD and a series of major Stops were triggered during the crushing move lower at many levels.  These price areas included the 177.39, 161.62, 154.03, 133.40, 130.67, 105.18, and 101.76 levels.  Additional downside price objectives include the 111.69, 103.40, 95.66, 90.00, and 80.60 levels.

Price activity is nearest the 50-bar MA (4-hourly) at 148.01 and the 50-bar MA (Hourly) at 115.63.

Technical Support is expected around 100.15/ 95.66/ 80.60 with Stops expected below.

Technical Resistance is expected around 125.08/ 133.37/ 140.95 with Stops expected above.

On 4-Hourly chart, SlowK is Bearishly below SlowD while MACD is Bullishly above MACDAverage.

On 60-minute chart, SlowK is Bullishly above SlowD while MACD is Bullishly above MACDAverage.
