Bitcoin Dominance (BTCD) is breaking out of the short-term downtrend
Bitcoin Dominance (BTCD) has been increasing for the past five days and is approaching an important resistance area, a break above it could determine the direction of the future trend.
BTCD has fallen since hitting 47.72% high on October 20th. The downside hit a low of 42.37% on November 6th.
However, it recovered then and has moved higher since then. The rebound is critical as it confirms the 42.6% zone is support. This is the 0.618 fib retracement support and the horizontal support.
Technical indicators are at crucial levels.
The RSI, a momentum indicator, is located directly at line 50. Movements above and below this line can be used as determinants of trend direction.
Similarly, the MACD has started to move up and is near the zero line, the MACD is made up of the short and long term moving average (MA) and a move above the zero line means that the short term MA is faster than. the MA rises in the long term, an indication that the trend is bullish.
Finally, Supertrend, which uses volatility to determine the direction of the trend, is bearish. This line is currently at 45.7%. This is also the 0.618 fib retracement resistance, making it an important area of resistance.
Hence, whether or not BTCD breaks this resistance will be crucial in determining the direction of the future trend.
