Bitcoin & Altcoins (ETH, XRP, TRX, IOTA) Start Retreating to Red, “Parabola Could Break Tonight”

• BTC still above $7,000 level but going down
• ETH, XRP, TRX, IOTA, and others turn red

Since hitting the bottom at $3,150 in December 2018, Bitcoin has been slowly making its way upwards that started gaining momentum first in February and then in April. It has been in May that bulls charged the leading cryptocurrency at full speed.

With its latest surge, Bitcoin has climbed to its highest level in 9 months. Till date, in 2019, BTC has risen over 100 percent.

In a period where:
—political tensions escalate between US and China,
—global equity markets fall sharply
—VIX largest spike in many months
—global yield curves flatten/invert#bitcoin has RISEN and >$6,000

Amazing similarity between the last bear market prior to uptrend

Though slowly going down, crypto analyst Benjamin Blunts says we are facing resistance at $7.3k but we can further push up to “horizontal resistance at 8.4k,” before registering any “meaningful dips.”

Be careful. BTC could be topping out right now.

However, it’s hard to say where exactly Bitcoin will go, more upwards or correction as BTC has been following its very own path. But a dip might be coming here as crypto analyst Willy Woo who has been paying special attention to shorts recently shared how BTC has more uptrend in its as Bitfinex shorts haven't been squeezed.

Now as he notes, “Shorts still liquidating on Bitfinex. BitMEX no longer short biased (positive funding rates),” this could be the sign that we might pullback here.
