Trading Signals for BITCOIN (BTC/USD) on February 1-3, 2024: sell below $42,800 (21 SMA - 200 EMA)

This image is no longer relevant

Early in the American session, Bitcoin is trading around 42,120, below the 200 EMA, and below 3/8 Murray with a strong technical correction. On the H4 chart, we can see that Bitcoin tried to break the 4/8 Murray zone on more than four occasions, which has now become strong resistance.

Given that Bitcoin failed to consolidate above 43,750, it consequently made a strong technical correction. The token is expected to continue its decline in the coming days so that it may reach 2/8 Murray around the psychological level of $40,000.

The technical chart shows that Bitcoin is under extreme pressure. Besides, the eagle indicator is showing a bearish signal because the instrument reached the strong overbought zone on January 31. Bitcoin is expected to extend its weakness in the coming days. Its price could reach the low of January 23 at about 38,750.

On the other hand, if BTC consolidates above 42,250, we could expect a small recovery but the price should face the next dynamic resistance around the 21 SMA located at 42,800.

If Bitcoin consolidates above $43,000, the bullish cycle will likely resume. Therefore, the token could gain momentum, break 43,750 and finally, could reach the psychological level of $45,000.

Our trading plan for the next few hours is to sell Bitcoin in case it tries to break 42,800 or below 43,000. Below this area, there is strong bearish pressure and BTC is likely to reach $40,000 in the next few days. Above 43,750 we should avoid selling as Bitcoin could gain strong momentum and we should accept our losses.
