Bitcoin Bull Profit Taking - Top of Trading Range 60/40 market

Bitcoin is in the midst of a developing trading range. Despite what many hope to be the start of a strong bull rally - it is necessary to view what is happening, without biases, hopes and desires.

In my last analysis post of bitcoin I talked about bull profit taking. Last week the bears created a strong bear bar and sell setup for a failed bull breakout and second entry at the top of a developing trading range. The bears currently have a 60% probability of lower prices. There is only a 40% chance of a strong bull breakout and higher prices without a correction and higher low first.

Although the bulls have been strong recently, prices are still within a trading range (look to the left), and not in a strong bull trend with breakouts to new highs and higher lows. This increases the probability that this rally is more likely a bull leg in a trading range than a bull leg in a strong bull trend. This means the current rally is more likely a buy vacuum, and not strong buying pressure. This week the bears filled the most recent bull gap around 9300, which makes it more likely a buy climax and not a measuring gap.

However, the bulls will likely attempt to form a higher low and larger second leg up after a test down. If they are able to keep some of the gaps open below, they will increase the probability of another leg up to 60%. If instead, all the gaps are filled, prices will remain range bound and in a 50/50 market, with legs both up and down and no clear direction.
