Bitcoin Technical Analysis

This thread is dedicated to technical analysis of the various Bitcoin and crypto-currency pairs. My own prefered method is Elliott Wave analysis combined with Fibonacci relationships in price action as a means of understanding past action and forecasting future price behaviour. However, analysis amd discussions in this thread are not restricted to these methods.

With the general "newness" of crypto-currencies and the amount of hype surrounding them - and Bitcoin specifically - this thread will serve both as a knowledge exchange as well as a repository for sound technical analysis of the rapidly evolving crypto-currency market.

Brief introduction to Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the most well-known of a range of crypto-currencies presently in circulation. The currency (forex code: BTC) is a digital value token that is accounted for by a decentralized peer-to-peer network comprised of it's users - both buyers and sellers. The same cryptographic algorithm that encrypts and transfers BTC around the network is also responsible for a slow release mechanism whereby a total maximum of 21mil BTC will be released in the course of a just over a century. The logic behind this gradual release strategy is to ensure scarcity in an emulation of resources such as Gold. In an extention of the simile, Bitcoins come into existence through a process called "mining".

BTC has received a lot of media attention following the crash of its speculative bubble in April 2013. Similarly, press attention has focussed on recent cases of non-compliance with US financial regulations by some Bitcoin exchanges.

BTC buying and selling is possible via several exchanges, the biggest (by daily volume) of whom is currently Mt.Gox. A few retail brokers offer BTC option contracts, but long and short CFDs are generally not available except through smaller start-up brokers.

Bitcoin price history

Bitcoin started trading at 0.04USD in 2009 and achieved an unprecedented growth of more than 5,000% in 3 years before crashing in April 2013.

From April to June 2013, BTCUSD has consolidated around the $120.00 price level.

Brokers

Personally, I use the Mt.Gox exchange and their API which gives me direct access to the largest BTCUSD market without an intervening broker. Mt.Gox charges 0.6 % on all BTC purchases (no fees for selling). Some brokers provide long/short contracts and binary options but these do not suit my current trading strategy with Bitcoin. Mt.Gox is, unfortunately, prone to price feed disruption and their order system can lag severely during market frenzies. For this reason I prefer not to participate during busy times, placing my orders and positions during quiet periods.
