In order to understand the impact of the decision taken by the ECB, we have two graphs to be merged. In orange, you’ll see the price of bitcoin in relation to the euro. Below that, in blue, with the exchange rate of the euro vis-à-vis the us dollar.
In the press conference, Mario Draghi, gave the go-ahead to the increase of the bitcoin price on Thursday. What’s the difference? As the ECB continues to buy bonds, there will be more money in the economy, which is not a savings account is put on hold. There must be a return will be achieved. This is the money that flows to other types of assets, including bitcoin. There are, of course, also be other factors involved, but the direct effects here are obvious:
Falling wedge and gave a little push
Anyway, let’s get back to the price of the bitcoin! This past Tuesday, we started talking about the falling wedge. This is a koersformatie in a lot of cases, it will lead to an increase in the price. With a falling wedge that makes the price lower and lower peaks, but at a lower level of soil. The trend lines on both the top and the bottom sides move closer to each other.
Break down the price of the upper trend line? The falling wedge is confirmed and we can make a further increase is expected. On the 11th of september, the bitcoin exchange rate from this formation is not broken, but it is the decision of the ECB gave the race an extra boost.
In addition to the falling wedge, we can see that negative divergence has also played a role in the growth of bitcoin. A negative difference means that the bitcoin price to the lower bottoms make. But the indicator makes higher bottoms. Below is the RSI, shown at the bottom of that page. When this happens, it is usually a good sign of a growth in the share price.
Both the falling wedge and negative divergence that has played along with the rise in the past week:
What is the price of bitcoin go? That is, it is just a matter of waiting! It rises in the direction towards the top of the triangle, which we have all week to discuss it, then we can have a value of 9.850 euro is expected. The base of the triangle is now of the order of 8,500 euros.
However, the price of bitcoin does not only depend on technical analysis. Also, the developments in the global economy and the politics have an effect on the market price. And you also have to think about the latest developments in the cryptolandschap.
