BITCOIN: A Christmas rally is possible

EUR/GBP

Monitoring symmetrical triangle.

  • EUR/GBP is consolidating after the recent collapse. The pair has broken hourly support at 0.8791 (07/11/2017 low). Resistance is located at 0.8943 (27/11/2017 high). Expected to go even lower.

  • In the long-term, the pair has largely recovered from recent lows in 2015. The technical structure suggests a growing upside momentum. The pair is trading above from its 200 DMA. Strong resistance can be found at 0.9500 (psychological level).

EUR/CHF

Continued increase.

  • EUR/CHF continues to push towards resistance area above 1.17 and support given at 1.1610 (27/10/2017 low). Expected to show continued increase.

  • In the longer term, the technical structure has reversed. Strong resistance is given at 1.20 (level before the unpeg). Yet, the ECB's QE programme is likely to cause persistent selling pressures on the euro, which should weigh on EUR/CHF. Supports can be found at 1.0184 (28/01/2015 low) and 1.0082 (27/01/2015 low).

EURCHF

BITCOIN (in USD)

A Christmas rally is possible.

  • Bitcoin is now consolidating below 12k. The technical structure shows a tremendous positive short-term momentum. Hourly support is located at 9000 (29/11/2017 low). Strong support stands very far at 2975 (22/08/2017 low). In the shortterm, the digital currency should continue rising.

  • In the long-term, the digital currency has had an exponential growth. There are decent likelihood that the asset will reach $40'000 in 2018.
