Bitcoin futures in the CME are trading up about $100 (1.47%) at $6,910 as of 3:45 EST. After breaking below the 21-day exp. moving average yesterday BTC found resistance at that point today as it traded above this price point for a brief moment before correcting.

Bitcoin futures plunged upon opening for the start of the week. Within the first four hours BTC lost $1,500 in a matter of four hours after gaping down $200 from Friday’s close in the CME. It quickly regained a small portion of its losses and is trading steady around $6,700 at AM EST.

Bitcoin finishes fourth week in a row posting gains and exhibiting its 4th consecutive higher intra-week high, this week’s came within $15 of current resistance at $7,500. This week we also broke above the 21-day exp. moving average (currently at $7,019) now trading above this technical indicator for three days now the last time this occurred was from Feb. 12 – 14.

BTC futures as of 4 PM EST are trading in essence unchanged on the day at $7,340 on the CME. Again it is the high that came in that I believe is telling in that we were unable to make a higher high and coming in at $7,475 has this rally looking like it may fizzle out before taking out $7,500 on a closing basis.

What we witnessed today was a round of profit taking in the U.S. dollar, gold and Bitcoin. Bitcoin futures as of 5 PM EST are trading down about 2.5% at $7,200. Even with a dip in pricing today BTC is still acting very bullish and should continue onto higher pricing.
