BITCOIN – BTC/GBP

Bitcoin’s relief rally again turned down from the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at £28,593.47 on May 27. This suggests that traders are selling on every minor rally. Both moving averages are sloping down and the relative strength index (RSI) is in the negative territory, indicating bears have the upper hand. The sellers will now try to sink the BTC/GBP pair below the £23,620 support. If they succeed, the pair could drop to the critical £21,000 to £20,000 support zone. Read more

BITCOIN – BTC/GBP

Bitcoin plunged to £21,000 on May 19 according to our expectations. However, the bulls purchased this drop as seen from the long tail on the day’s candlestick. The bulls attempted to push the price back above £31,005 on May 20 but failed. The downsloping moving averages and the RSI near the oversold territory suggest that bears are in control. Therefore, relief rallies to the 20-day EMA are likely to be sold into. With buyers stepping in at £21,000 and sellers at £31,005, the stage seems to be set for a consolidation between these two levels for a few days. Read more

ETHEREUM – ETH/GBP

The failure of the bulls to sustain Ether above the 20-day EMA on May 18 could have attracted profitbooking by traders, resulting in the massive drop on May 19. The bulls tried to stage a recovery on May 20 but hit a wall at the 50-day SMA. Renewed selling pulled the price below the May 19 low of £1,382.24 but the positive sign is that this did not lead to panic selling among investors. The long tail on the May 23 candlestick suggests traders purchased the drop to £1,216.19. Read more

RIPPLE – XRP/GBP

We had suggested traders buy on a breakout and close above the triangle but the trade did not trigger because XRP could not close above the triangle on May 18. However, this breakout above the triangle could have trapped the aggressive bulls. The selling intensified on May 19 and the XRP/GBP pair plunged below the triangle to hit an intraday low of £0.5828. The bulls tried to stage a recovery on May 20 but could not push the price back into the triangle. Read more

CARDANO – LTC/GBP

Cardano plummeted below the moving averages on May 19 and fell to an intraday low of £0.75. However, the bulls purchased this dip as seen from the long tail on the day’s candlestick. The buyers extended the recovery on May 20 and pushed the price above the 20-day EMA. However, the bulls could not sustain the breakout and the bears pulled the price back below the 20-day EMA on May 21. Read more

BINANCE – BNB/GBP

We had projected a bearish picture on Binance Coin in our previous analysis and the fall exceeded our target objective. This is a usual feature during downtrends where targets are exceeded as traders dump their positions due to panic. The moving averages have completed a bearish crossover and the RSI is in the negative territory, indicating an advantage to the bears. The current pullback is likely to face stiff resistance at £302.79. Read more
