Bitcoin price chart analysis

Bitcoin managed to hold above the $10,000 support zone last week, despite a wide-spread sell-off in the S&P 500 and gold.

Bitcoin price chart analysis shows that BTC/USD bulls still remain in control while the price trades above the psychological $10,000 level.

Bitcoin medium-term price trend

Bitcoin faces another pivotal trading week, as the number one cryptocurrency remains well-supported above the $10,000 level.

Bitcoin price technical analysis shows that the continued gains above the $10,500 level are required to encourage the next push higher in the cryptocurrency.

Technical analysis shows that price stabilisation above the $11,500 level is likely to encourage buying interest towards the BTC/USD pair’s 50-day moving average, around the $11,100 level.

The daily time frame shows that once above the $11,100 resistance zone, the BTC/USD pair could revisit the $11,700 and possibly the $12,000 levels.

Bitcoin short-term price trend

Bitcoin price technical analysis shows that short-term bulls remain in control while the price trades above the $10,450 level.

The four-hour time frame highlights that an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern will form if the price reaches the $11,200 level.

According to the size of the inverted head-and-shoulders pattern, the BTC/USD pair could rally towards the $12,100 area. 

To the downside, a loss of the $10,450 support area could result in a key technical test of the $10,200, and possibly the $10,000 level.

Bitcoin technical summary

Bitcoin technical analysis highlights that bulls need to hold the cryptocurrency above $10,700 level to keep the recent bullish momentum intact.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
