FX.co ★ Analysis of bitcoin for February 28, 2018

The Bitcoin (BTC) has been trading downwards. As I expected, the price tested the level of $10,353. In less than five hours, Zclassic will fork to create bitcoin private, a new privacy-oriented coin that uses zk-snarks to obfuscate transactions. Holders of bitcoin and zclassic will both be eligible to receive bitcoin private (BTCP) on a 1:1 basis. There's just one problem: 93% of all zlcassic (ZCL) is on Bittrex exchange, which so far has provided no comments on whether it would support the fork. As the price of ZCL has dropped sharply, bagholders have expressed their anger at Bittrex' slowness to act. Technical picture on Bitcoin looks neutral to bearish.

Trading recommendations:

According to the 30M timeframe, I found that price failed to test upper diagonal of the channel, which is a sign that buyers lost power. I also found a hidden bearish divergence in the background and broken median line, which is a sign that sellers are in control. My advice is to watch for potential selling opportuntiies. The downward targets are set at the price of $10,360, $10,135 and at $9,980.

Support/Resistance

$10,800 – Intraday resistance

$10,362– Intraday support

$10,130 – Objective target 1

$9,980 – Objective target 2
