BTC analysis for 01.17.2020 – Bearish divergence on the 4H time-frarrme, selling opporutnities are preferable
Industry news:It seems that crypto-custody has been kept a secret from institutional investors.Few things have improved in 2019 as much as the custody of cryptocurrency, and the regulators’ attitude towards it. While a Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund still waits on the doorsteps of the SEC, institutional companies entering the cryptocurrency custody market has grown.Coinbase snapped up custody provider Xapo, Fidelity entered the crypto-storage space, and the Intercontinental Exchange’s digital assets platform Bakkt launched offering both trading and custody. Yet, investors have been kept in the dark.According to a survey by Bitcoin ETF hopeful Bitwise Asset Management, institutional investors have a crypto-custody problem. The problem, however, is a lack of information, not a lack of solutions.Technical analysis:BTC has been trading upside but it found solid supply near the $9.000 level. I found the bearish divergence on the MACD oscillator, which is sign that buyers got exhausted.Watch for selling opportunities on the rallies with the downward targets at the price of $8.590 and $8.445.Major resistance is set at the price of $9.000.Support levels and downward target are set at the price of $8.592 and $8.445.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company – www.instaforex.com…
GBP/USD. January 17. We are waiting for a new sales signal. The Briton embarrassed in front of another weak statistics from
GBP/USD – 4H.
As seen on the 4-hour chart, the GBP/USD pair performed a consolidation above the corrective level of 23.6% (1.3048). Along with this consolidation, quotes of the pair closed above two trends and corridors. I have built a small correction line based on the movement of the last days, and if the pair closes below it, then traders will again be able to count on a reversal in favor of the US currency and a resumption of the fall in the direction of the corrective level of 0.0% (1.2904). As we can see, the goal remains the same, however, too long growth of the pound before the expected fall suggests a possible different scenario. In any case, I recommend trying to sell the pair when it is fixed below the Fibo level of 23.6% and the correction line. The “foundation”, in the case of the pound-dollar pair, remains in favor of the dollar. Retail sales in the UK declined by 0.6% m/m in December, with forecasts of +0.7%. These numbers were supposed to cause the British dollar to fall, however, the pair continues to trade with a small amplitude, showing no particular desire to move at the end of the…

Trading recommendations for GBP/USD – prospects for further movement
From the point of view of a comprehensive analysis, we see a continuing upward interest from the area of the psychological level of 1.3000, where the quotes had previously found a foothold. In fact, we continue to observe the development of the theory of the Zigzag-shaped model [03.12.19-14.01.20], where the subsequent measure almost reached the control value. The most remarkable situation is that for several weeks there has been a gradual compression of the quote amplitude, which is just expressed in the Zigzag-shaped model. That is, the first correction phase of the Zigzag-shaped model had a value of 609 points, the second phase was already 329 points. The third phase has not yet arrived, since the pulse cycle has not yet been completed, but the deceleration is already evident. Hence, many traders agree that the market is preparing a platform to greatly accelerate quotes, which may come in the near future.
In terms of volatility, we have a kind of confirmation of the previously spoken words, that is, there is a slowdown in average daily indicators [95; 79; 57.57 points] from the beginning of the week. From the point of view of the emotional component, we see a similar picture,…
Is Euro playing cat and mouse with the dollar?
At the end of the week, the European currency cheered up, after a worthy competition with the dollar. Its classic rival for the EUR / USD pair is also on the alert, strengthening against the backdrop of the relatively successful signing of the first phase deal. Experts expect to achieve a balance in tandem, and these hopes can be justified.
According to experts, the euro tried to capitalize on the signing of an agreement between Washington and Beijing, but these actions are more reminiscent of stealth maneuvers, like a cat and mouse game. However, analysts warn that it is better not to play such games with the dollar.
Recall that on Wednesday, January 15, the leaders of the two leading powers signed a document on the first phase of the trade deal. The negotiation process associated with it lasted more than six months. According to experts, this event did not provide significant support to the greenback. The pound, on the other hand, took advantage of this and tried to break out into the leaders in the EUR/USD pair and thus teasing his rival.
According to the agreement, within two years, the Celestial Empire pledged to import a number of…
