Digital currency futures rallied this past Friday, following the gains in the major US stocks indexes.
But while the stock and futures markets shut down for the weekend, the traditional digital currency markets kept gaining.
BTC gained fractionally on Saturday and then rallied another 2.9% on Sunday.
That led to a higher open for BTC futures this morning, but the market is still below a key level of resistance…
BTC Below Counter Trend Line
On the monthly time frame, BTC is in a long term bullish trend.
However, the market is moving from a high price towards a future low price and has not yet reached the down Gartley Fibonacci extension price at 10,300 near the long term up trend line.
And on the daily time frame, BTC is still locked in a down trend, with the market making lower lows and lower highs.
As you can see in the daily chart above, the market is testing the underside of its counter trend line, which should act as resistance.
There is also a down Fibonacci extension below the market price point 11,060, about -1,629 ticks below the market.
For now, we are out of the market waiting for the market to hit the down Fibonacci extension. Then, we will look for the bullish reversal towards the monthly Fibonacci extension of 76,555.
