Bitcoin had quite a jump today with CME futures up over 10% at $6,870 as of 3 PM EST. Last night we had a jump in pricing that took Bitcoin futures up to $7,345.
Bitcoin futures closed down today by approximately 1.8% at $6,355. Today’s lower pricing took Bitcoin back below the .78% retracement at $6,342 which it was able to regain footing above in the last few minutes of trading. This is the third day we tested this key level and BTC was able to close above it all three occasions.
Bitcoin futures on the CME are currently at $6,475 up 1.5% on the day as of 5 PM EST. However the high of today at $6,600 is very telling and suggests range bound trading is set to continue. As we stated yesterday a break above $6,700 on a closing basis would be bullish and a break below $5,700 would be a bearish sign.
