Bitcoin Technical Analysis October 18th

Bitcoin (BTC) gained significantly in the week of October 11-17 and was approaching a new all-time high. While the trend remains bullish, BTC appears to be nearing the peak of a short-term uptrend.

Weekly outlook

Bitcoin’s weekly chart shows that the trend is sloping up, which can be seen most clearly in the technical indicators.

BTC has yet to regain the ascending support line it previously broke. As long as this is not the case, price action cannot be considered bullish. This line is especially important as it has been followed by price action since the March 2020 lows.

However, technical indicators show a persistently bullish picture. MACD is in positive territory and increasing. His histogram is generating his first bullish momentum bar since early June (green icon). This means that the short term trend is moving faster than the long term trend.

The RSI is also rising and is above 50.

Finally, the supertrend line is bullish. This indicator uses absolute high and low prices to determine the direction of the trend. Since the BTC price is above this line, the trend is considered bullish (green circle).
