Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis:  Orbiting 42230 Technicals – 17 December 2023



Bitcoin (BTC/USD) awaited fresh technical guidance early in the Asian session as the pair continued to orbit the 42230 area, representing the 50% retracement of a historical depreciating range from the all-time high of 69000 to 15460.   Traders have encountered a minor bid following a recent upward reversal around the 40150 area.  Short-term downside risks persist with additional downside price objectives around the 41058, 40185, and 38773 areas.  The recent multi-month high around the 45000 figure represented a test of the 45278.22 level, an upside price objective linked to historical upside advances around the 3858 area.  Above the market, upside price objectives include the 46105, 46487, and 49161 levels, above which Stops are cited. 

The recent profit-taking pullback represented a test of the 40256 area and Stops were elected below the 41458.35 level, a downside price objective related to recent selling pressure around the 44754 and 44049 areas.  Additional Stops were also triggered below some significant technical levels during the depreciation including the 43044, 42583, 42159, 41835, 41087, 40619, and 40413 areas.   Areas of technical support and potential buying pressure include the 38998, 38028, 37321, and 35285 levels.  Traders are observing that the 50-bar MA (4-hourly) is bullishly indicating above the 100-bar MA (4-hourly) and above the 200-bar MA (4-hourly).  Also, the 50-bar MA (hourly) is bearishly indicating below the 200-bar MA (hourly) and above the 100-bar MA (hourly).

Price activity is nearest the 50-bar MA (4-hourly) at 42654.01 and the 50-bar MA (Hourly) 42467.03.
