Bitcoin Bybit chart analysis February 25Hello It's a Bitcoinguide. If you have a "follower" You can receive comment notifications on real-time travel routes and major sections. If my analysis is helpful, Please would like one booster button at the bottom. Here is the Bitcoin 30-minute chart. The Nasdaq indicator will be released at 12 midnight tonight. In the case of Bitcoin, it is coupled with Nasdaq and is falling without asking. Since there is no short position entry point yet, I proceeded a little safely until today because there was a risk factor. *Long position strategy when the blue finger moves 1. Purple finger at the top 90394.5 dollars Autonomous short operation section / Stop loss price when orange resistance line is broken 2. 87759.5 dollars Long position entry section / Stop loss price when green support line is broken 3. 92340 dollars Long position 1st target -> Top, Gap in order of target price. Since it can rise strongly from dawn, I did not operate a separate short position. (In the case of Tether Dominance, since it is difficult to sweep from the current position, if it is not a direct crash, the rising pattern is maintained, so the part that is gradually broken is included in the strategy.) There is an additional autonomous long entry position in the first section at the top. The purple finger touch -> 87.7K from the current position is the safest, and if it goes down right away, it is a long wait in the second section. If you look closely at the green support line, you will see a bright sky blue support line. I used the falling wedge section as a long position. (Daily support + weekly central pattern and candle tail) Among the patterns I have been waiting for, Because it is the first touch of the central line of the Bollinger Band weekly chart, I will find the next support line and operate it from today's departure from the second section until this week. Up to this point, my analysis article is simply asking for your help. I will see you tomorrow depending on the participation rate today. I hope you operate safely with the principle of trading and cut-off price. Thank you.

Bitcoin PA to Fill CME Gap UPDATE - Extraordinary GamesLet me explain - A CME gap, or Bitcoin CME gap, is the difference between the trading price of Bitcoin futures contracts when the market closes on Friday and reopens on Sunday. This gap occurs because the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) is closed over the weekend while Bitcoin's spot market remains open, leading to price movements that are not reflected in the futures market until it reopens. CME is old School Traditional Finance that uses Bitcoin. In fact, CME Group first started Bitcoin futures trading on December 18, 2017. This was Way back when TradFi was putting Bitcoin down as a "Ponzi Scheme" and not many people had even heard of it. And through its history, the CME Bitcoin Futures has often created Gaps for the reasons above. And these Gas ALWAYS Get filled. At Times, Rapidly as PA seems to bizarrely retreat to the Gap, Fill it and bounce back rapidly. This can all be seen VERY clearly on the BTC1! ticker in TradingView. Go back through its history, you will see what I mean. The Current Gap is, however, being fought over Very Hard by Bulls and Bears. The CME Gap chart above shows you How Bulls have pulled the PA Back up just above the Gap. Teasing the CME Bears In my mind, I can see the Two Teams, New Age Finance wearing BITCOIN T-Shirts and the TradFi crew, wearing the "CME Gaps always get filled because we are Kings" T Shirts The Daily chart shows us how the 200 day SMA acted as support just above the Gap And the Weekly chart shows us how that 50 SMA ( red) just just out of reach on the other side of the Gap. If we look at the Range from March - Sep 2024, we can see similar patterns. The 2 rounded Tops , the slide down to a low. We are currently seeing a bounce back, off the TOP of the CME Gap....PA can smell that gap, the Gap can smell BTC PA, just cannot touch it This bounce may or may not reach the mid 90K before turning down again but it will turn down again, I am sure of that. PA is not ready to reach for New ATH But See that Long wick down in summer 2024 ? This is what may happen to fill the Gap. Ultimate though, We are waiting for the Weekly MACD to reach Neutral. THIS is what gives PA strength to reach higher, to a new ATH. The CME would like that Gap filled BEFORE PA pushes up and out of Range Because of this sharp drop in price recently, and if it continues, MACD could reach neutral by End of April ! and not June as previously But to sustain this angle of decrease, PA would have to go as low as 55K, reaching the Long Term rising support ( Dotted line of the weekly chart. This is also where the 100 SMA ( Blue) Sits I do not think that will happen but if PA Drops below 70K, I will begin to reevaluate my positions. So, I expect Pa to bounce around for a while, as in the previous Range in 2024 For now, we see the Bulls and Bears Teasing each other over this CME Gap. Who will win this battle. Will the BTC Bulls submit and allow the gap to be filled ? I hope so, I have a buy order at 78200 ;-) It maybe one of the last chances to buy BTC that cheap Exciting days ahead COME ON BTC BULLS>...

Bitcoin : Easy to follow hype, Hard to hodl through dropsThe recent price action shows a sharp spike followed by a pullback, with a notable gap between approximately 81XXX and 84XXX. This gap suggests a rapid move that wasn’t fully filled, which could act as support in current correction phase. The overall trajectory from 2023 to early 2025 shows that Bitcoin is in a strong bull market, potentially driven by macroeconomic factors (e.g., inflation concerns, institutional adoption, Trump Government) or halving cycles (the last one was in 2024). The break above 100K validate this sentiment. Potential Scenarios: Continuation: If the pullback holds above the 81XXX–85XXX (Daily or weekly TF) gap or around 73XXX-74XXX support(A test to last breakout zone ,considering worst case scenario), Bitcoin could retest 110,000 and push toward 120,000–150,000 in the mid-to-long term (2025–2026), assuming bullish momentum persists. I lean toward a optimistic view/Bullish View when everyone is fear right now, expecting a low very soon within current to next week (Early March) which can provide buying opportunities (As marked on chart) and considering my target around 120K to 150K for long term.

BTC Monthly CandlesBTC 1M Here is an update on the monthly chart of btc where i specify the Dec2024 monthly doji candle as a bearish sign. Although the Jan2025 candle is bullish and produce a new ATH, it still fails to breakout from the trendline resistance where all ATHs' are connected. Getting our starting reference point from 2017ath, we can see from here the market cycle of 3:1 bear:bull ratio. Also noted that an ATL is established 1 year after making an ATH; •2017ath to 2018atl •2021ath to 2022atl Since price tap on our trendline resistance, big question is, will this be this cycle's top? February candle is currently printing a -17% with 2 days to go before closing. Trump tariff impacted the market heavily. "Twice". There is also the $1.4B ByBit hack. Anyways, key support level lies at 72~73k level around the wave3&B Leg. This is ideal to be hit to fully fill the gap on this monthly candles. I think the 70k is a protected zone because this is also the range of 2021ath.

BITCOIN TESTING $87K - FALSE OR TRUE BREAKDOWN?Symbol - BTCUSD CMP 87100 BTCUSD has entered a risk zone, exhibiting a breakdown of the key support level. The market's attention is now on the bulls and their ability to maintain their defense. On the daily and weekly timeframes, the price is in a phase of global consolidation following a period of significant upward movement. The focus remains on the $90-91K range, a strong support area that aligns with the broader trend. Currently, a breakdown of support appears to be unfolding. On the local timeframes (H1 - H4), the price is testing the support of the local channel, as well as the risk zone at 87,000. If the bulls are able to sustain their defense above 86,400 level, Bitcoin could potentially strengthen. In this scenario, the primary target would be $91-92K Key support levels: 86,400, 85,530 Key resistance levels: 89,400, 91,600 Historically, the most significant price movements tend to occur after a false breakdown. However, the critical factor here is whether the breakout is genuine or false. In this case, confirmation is required — specifically, price consolidation above the key zones and levels. Regarding my previous BTCUSD analysis, I had projected a decline to the $90K risk zone while Bitcoin was trading around $96-97K at that time. After some consolidation, the analysis proved accurate as Bitcoin dropped to the $90K range. I believe this recent sell-off has disrupted the previous bullish structure, and a bearish structure is now beginning to take shape. I expect a retracement to the $91-92K range before the downtrend continues.

BITCOIN IS HEADED TO 90K?Symbol - BTCUSD BTCUSD is reflecting a shift in market sentiment, with its current price action indicating a potential continuation of the ongoing correction. BTCUSD is currently trading within a falling channel pattern, with global market consolidation providing the broader context. There is a possibility of another retest of the 90,000 risk zone. On the medium-term timeframe, Bitcoin has failed to maintain its position near its all-time high, entering the local selling zone below the 99,800 level, and is now within the upper consolidation range. This shift is accompanied by a noticeable negative sentiment within the cryptocurrency market. Altcoins continue to experience persistent declines without any signs of recovery, further highlighting the lack of positive prospects. At this stage, Bitcoin appears to be reacting to the lack of fulfillment of promises from President Trump, as well as ongoing market manipulation and geopolitical tensions. These factors are contributing to the market’s protracted correction phase. New coins created ahead of the U.S. election have siphoned liquidity from the market, adding to the bearish sentiment. This situation, combined with a global trade conflict, has led to a significant market downturn. Support levels: 95,800, - 91,300, - 90,000 Resistance levels: 1,00,300 - 1,02,670 Technically, Bitcoin may continue its downward movement, potentially testing the 90,000 support level again. As the price approaches this level, the risks surrounding it will increase. Currently, the asset is in a consolidation phase between 95,800 and 1,00,300 which could precede a breakdown and further decline towards 90,000. However, considering Bitcoin’s sensitivity to U.S. political actions, there may be a temporary rise towards the 1,00,300 level before the asset resumes its decline. The likelihood of the price testing the 95,800 level for a breakdown and subsequent fall remains high. However, on a broader scale, the asset still maintains a bullish outlook, with strong support placed in the 90K-91K zone.

Could Bitcoin PA head down to fill CME Gap at 82K-77K usdt And the answer is "Very possibly" 50 SMA ( RED ) -100 SMA ( BLUE ) - 128 SMA ( GREEN ) - 200 SMA ( YELLOW ) For a start, Lets Look at what the 50 SMA did in the previous range. PA bounced off that 50, having tested it 4 weeks previously ( see wick down ) I can see no reason why that would not happen again if PA reaches this point. But we are now seeing the 50 beginning to flatten out after 3 months of PA ranging. The CME Gap exists since 11 Nov 2024 Price range of Gap is 80720 down to 77535 On the main chart, See how that 50 SMA is currently flattening out just under this range ? If PA comes down to the 50 SMA for support, it will fill that CME gap. Notice also how there is a similarity to the pattern of PA from that Range in 2024, though it seems we are experiencing a contracted version. As mentioned in previous posts, this range is also different in that we are under a 618 Fib Ext. Little Support below. This does not mean we will not bounce, indeed, I think we will but ultimately, I can see PA visiting that CME Gap, even if it is just a flash Wick down. It is a superb opportunity to buy BTC at a lower price

what is divergence based trading ?**Divergence-based trading** is a strategy that focuses on identifying potential price reversals by analyzing the relationship between the price of an asset and an **oscillator** or indicator, such as the **Relative Strength Index (RSI)**, **Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD)**, or **Stochastic Oscillator**. Divergence occurs when the price of an asset and the indicator do not move in the same direction or exhibit opposite trends. This could signal that the prevailing trend is weakening, and a reversal may be imminent. ### Types of Divergence: 1. **Bullish Divergence**: - **Bullish Divergence** occurs when the price is making **lower lows**, but the indicator (e.g., RSI, MACD) is making **higher lows**. - This indicates that although the price is still falling, the momentum behind the downward movement is weakening, which can signal a potential **upward reversal**. - **Example**: A stock price may be making new lows, but the RSI is making higher lows, suggesting that selling pressure is weakening, and a buying opportunity could be coming. 2. **Bearish Divergence**: - **Bearish Divergence** happens when the price is making **higher highs**, but the indicator is making **lower highs**. - This suggests that while the price is rising, the momentum behind the price movement is fading, which can indicate a **downward reversal**. - **Example**: A stock price is making new highs, but the MACD is making lower highs, signaling a potential weakening of the uptrend and a possible price decline. ### **How to Use Divergence in Trading** 1. **Confirming Reversals**: - Divergence often signals potential **trend reversals** or shifts in momentum, but it is essential to wait for confirmation. A reversal is not guaranteed just because divergence appears. - Traders often wait for additional signals, such as **candlestick patterns** (like engulfing candles, doji patterns) or a **break of key support/resistance levels**, to confirm the reversal. 2. **Combining with Other Indicators**: - Divergence can be more reliable when combined with other technical indicators or chart patterns. For example, combining divergence with **moving averages** or **support and resistance levels** provides additional confirmation that the trend is about to change. - For instance, if a bearish divergence is spotted on the RSI, and the price breaks below a support level, this strengthens the signal that the price may reverse to the downside. 3. **Using Multiple Time Frames**: - Traders often check divergence on multiple time frames to increase the accuracy of their predictions. For example, a bullish divergence on a **daily chart** and a corresponding **hourly chart** could provide a stronger confirmation of a potential trend reversal. 4. **Risk Management**: - Like any other trading strategy, divergence-based trading requires **proper risk management**. Traders should use **stop-loss orders** to protect themselves from unexpected market movements. Since divergence doesn't always result in a reversal, having a stop-loss in place is crucial for limiting potential losses. ### **Example of Divergence-Based Trading** Let’s consider an example of **bearish divergence**: - A trader notices that the **price of stock XYZ** is making higher highs, but the **RSI** is forming lower highs. This signals **bearish divergence**, meaning the buying momentum is weakening despite the price increase. The trader may wait for a confirmation of a reversal by watching for price to break below the **previous support level** or other technical signals (such as a **bearish candlestick pattern**). - After confirmation, the trader may enter a **short position** (betting on the price going down) and set a stop-loss to manage risk. ### **Advantages of Divergence-Based Trading**: - **Identifying Potential Trend Reversals**: Divergence can help spot when a trend may be losing momentum and is potentially ready to reverse. - **Market Timing**: Divergence helps traders anticipate entry points, which could lead to favorable trades if used effectively. - **Useful Across Multiple Markets**: Divergence-based trading can be applied across various financial markets, such as stocks, forex, commodities, or cryptocurrencies. ### **Limitations of Divergence-Based Trading**: - **False Signals**: Divergence doesn’t always lead to a reversal. The price could continue in the same direction despite the divergence. - **Timing Issues**: Divergence often appears before a reversal happens, and it can take time for the market to confirm the change in trend. Therefore, it requires patience and may result in missed opportunities. - **Needs Confirmation**: Divergence alone isn’t a strong enough signal to make a trade. Traders should wait for confirmation through other technical indicators, chart patterns, or trend breaks. ### **Conclusion**: Divergence-based trading is a useful strategy for identifying potential trend reversals by comparing price action with momentum indicators. However, it’s important to use it as part of a broader trading plan that incorporates proper risk management and confirmation from other indicators. By doing so, traders can increase the likelihood of successful trades and better manage the inherent risks of divergence-based signals.

Our goal is to empower traders with knowledge to navigate the markets effectively. --- ## **What is MACD and MACD Divergence?** ### **1️⃣ Understanding MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)** MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of an asset’s price. It helps traders identify potential buy and sell signals. #### **MACD Formula & Components** - **MACD Line = 12-period EMA - 26-period EMA** - This is the difference between the 12-day and 26-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). - **Signal Line = 9-period EMA of the MACD Line** - A smoothed version of the MACD Line that helps generate signals. - **MACD Histogram = MACD Line - Signal Line** - A visual representation of the strength of the trend. #### **MACD Trading Signals** ✅ **Bullish Crossover (Buy Signal)** – When the MACD Line crosses above the Signal Line. ❌ **Bearish Crossover (Sell Signal)** – When the MACD Line crosses below the Signal Line. 📊 **Zero Line Crossover** – A move above zero indicates bullish momentum; a move below zero indicates bearish momentum. --- ### **2️⃣ What is MACD Divergence?** MACD Divergence occurs when the price of an asset moves in the opposite direction of the MACD indicator. This is a sign that momentum is weakening and a potential trend reversal may occur. #### **Types of MACD Divergence:** 🔹 **Bullish Divergence (Reversal to the Upside)** - Price forms **lower lows**, but MACD forms **higher lows**. - Indicates weakening selling pressure and a possible bullish reversal. 🔹 **Bearish Divergence (Reversal to the Downside)** - Price forms **higher highs**, but MACD forms **lower highs**. - Indicates weakening buying pressure and a possible bearish reversal. --- ### **How to Use MACD & MACD Divergence in Trading?** 1️⃣ **Combine MACD with Support/Resistance Levels** – Stronger signals when divergence aligns with key levels. 2️⃣ **Look for Volume Confirmation** – Higher volume during divergence increases reliability. 3️⃣ **Use MACD with RSI or Stochastic** – Enhances confirmation of overbought/oversold conditions. 4️⃣ **Avoid False Signals** – Not every divergence leads to a trend reversal. Use confluences for better accuracy. --- ### **Conclusion** MACD is a powerful tool for identifying trends and momentum shifts, while MACD Divergence helps spot potential reversals. However, like all indicators, it should be used with other confirmation tools for higher accuracy. --- 🔹 **Disclaimer**: This content is for educational purposes only. *SkyTradingZone* is not SEBI registered, and we do not provide financial or investment advice.

Bitcoin Surpasses $98,000, Breaking Key Resistance at $97,763After a period of consolidation and sideways movement, Bitcoin, often referred to as digital gold, has successfully broken through the $98,000 mark, reaching a closing price of $98,305 on February 20, 2025. Bitcoin has thus closed above $ 98000 level, for the first time, since February 4, 2025, signaling a potential shift from a neutral consolidation phase to a renewed bullish trend. Key Support and Resistance Levels The current price movement suggests a crucial support level at $96,415. Bulls must maintain this support to prevent a possible retracement. On the upside, Bitcoin faces significant resistance levels at $101,328, followed by $102,377 and $104,442. A successful breakout above these levels could pave the way for Bitcoin to test its all-time closing high of $106,144. Technical Indicators Flash Bullish Signals On the technical front, key indicators have turned bullish. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has flipped into positive territory, indicating a growing upward momentum. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trending higher, moving towards overbought levels, which suggests increased buying pressure. Macroeconomic and Political Factors Driving Sentiment Apart from technical factors, broader macroeconomic and political developments are influencing Bitcoin’s bullish sentiment. Traders are closely watching the Trump administration’s evolving stance on cryptocurrency regulations. Recent reports suggest that the administration is exploring the possibility of establishing a national Bitcoin reserve, a move that could have far-reaching implications for institutional adoption. Furthermore, individual U.S. states have reportedly started planning their own Bitcoin reserves, further fueling bullish sentiment among crypto investors. The potential launch of cryptocurrency-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by major financial institutions is also being viewed as a catalyst for Bitcoin’s continued upward trajectory. Market Outlook and Investor Strategy As Bitcoin enters a potential breakout phase, traders and investors should remain vigilant about upcoming resistance levels. A decisive move above $101,328 could accelerate Bitcoin’s rally, while any rejection at key resistance points may lead to short-term pullbacks. Overall, Bitcoin’s latest surge above $98,000 underscores the strengthening bullish sentiment and increasing institutional interest in digital assets. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Bitcoin can sustain its momentum and reach new all-time highs.
