Bitcoin Down 3 Days: Bull Trap Or Buy Zone?

Bitcoin is down for the third day in a row, and Gareth Soloway breaks down whether the bear market is taking control again or this is just a healthy pullback inside a bigger bullish structure. Gareth walks through the crypto complex chart by chart, then turns to his active oil short and a quick read on gold and silver. Video by Gareth Soloway.

On Bitcoin, Gareth maps the cup-and-handle pattern, the 67,000 dollar resistance pivot, and the short-term parallel channel he wants to see hold near 63,500. He explains why the bigger pattern still points higher near term, with a target in the 71,000 to 72,000 zone, even as he stays a mid-term bear looking for an eventual collapse. Gareth shows how a swing trader plays longs in the short term and the macro pattern separately.
