BTC USD price movement

The BTC/USD H4 timeframe chart

The BTC/USD has reached 70 RSI; this is a clear indication that the BTC/USD pair is overbought, and the trend will move in a downward direction. Certainly, the market trend has complied with the market RSI movement, and it is really an opportunity to make fortune with the BTC/USD pair. On a H4 timeframe, the 20-period SMA acts as a support for the BTC/USD trend, and it may likely be used as our TP. The support zone is in the confluence of $22166.90 and $22626.55. It has tested this region two times recently. The 50-period SMA is farther away from the price action, and it also indicates a possible downtrend.

Using the candlestick analysis, the trend has responded accordingly to the candlestick patterns, especially the inverted harmer. If you have a close look at the BTC/USD chart, you will see that the last candle formed was an inverted hammer, and it indicates a possible reversal in the downward direction. Besides, the trend has hit the new resistance zone at $23897.32, which indicates a trend reversal. Coupled with the US dollar index that is above 100, it is crystal clear that the USD will gain more strength relative to the BTC.

Market prediction: All the market indicators and the price action point to a downtrend around the BTC/USD pair. Initiate a sell order and set your TP at $23248.42, or you could set your TP at $22145.80 if you want to play a long game.

Note: The only thing that could nullify the prediction is major news around BTC/USD pair.

The H4 timeframe of BTC/USD

Using the H4 timeframe, the Moving Averages responded to the price action. The BTC/USD has hit the resistance zone with the possibility of making a reversal from the LH ( lower-high) at $21412.23.
