A look at Bitcoin's immediate-term prospects

Bitcoin’s price line remains above its dominant immediate-term uptrend.  The immediate-term trend is defined by the 15-day simple moving average (MA), with the trend considered up as long as Bitcoin’s price line remains above the rising 15-day MA. 

A decisive close under the 15-day MA would temporarily break Bitcoin’s immediate-term (1-3 week) forward momentum and put temporary pressure on the virtual currency.  This is why it’s important that we monitor the area around 900 where the 15-day MA intersects in the daily chart shown below.


As long as Bitcoin stays above this trend line next week, participants (read hedge fund speculators) are likely to soon make another attempt at pushing Bitcoin back up to the previous high from early December 2013.
