Technically Speaking – February 21, 2024

My first Litepaper and first Technically Speaking since my short break and the transition to a new newsletter service have me swamped. 🥵

But there was no way I was not going to a Technically Speaking – so we’ll keep this one short and sweet. 

BTCUSD Daily Chart – Click to enlarge.

The sad fact is that nothing goes up forever – even $BTC. Eventually, people will take profit. At the time of writing this Technically Speaking (1500 EST), the Tenkan-Sen at $50,610 is holding as support, and, most importantly, the large gaps between the bodies of the candlesticks and the Tenkan-Sen are resolved. 

If the Tenkan-Sen fails to hold as support, the next support level is the Kijun-Sen at $46,414 – but after today’s daily close, it will probably shoot up towards the $48k value area. 

We’ll have much more to review on Friday, with more sexy charts and setups to look at. Damn, I’m glad to be back! 😁

It’s what technical analysts call a leading indicator—a heads-up or a warning that the probability of change is high and that it might happen soon. Analysts and traders might apply that principle (volume precedes price) to the Stocktwits Social Data.

February Was Amazing

Historically, $BTC usually closes in the green in February. 2024’s Feb close brings the score to eleven bullish closes vs. three bearish closes since 2011. 👍

However, despite the high number of bullish closes for February, its average performance is very ‘meh.’ But not this year.
