Guess What Day it is? HUMPDAY! With all the FTX Fiasco news going on, a couple big events happened and many are not tuned in. First is Fidelity, yes some have tweeted about it and some news coverage but it appears this story isn't getting the press it should. It's not a small thing that a $4.5 Trillion AUM company is now allowing retail the ability to buy, sell, and custody Bitcoin. Second, in Brazil, legislation has been sent to the President to be sign to allow Bitcoin to be used as a medium of exchange. Lastly, the FTSE Russell is launching 8 digital asset indexes.
Bitcoin's price has seen some appreciate and not sure if that is directly related to the news and this could be nothing more than a relief rally. On a 4 hour chart, Bitcoin is trading at the upper Bollinger Band and $16.5 is looking like the first level of support. Zoom out to the day and it hit the upper band and the bands are constricting; I can see trading sideways for the rest of the week with a support above $16K. On the weekly chart $19.8 appears to be overhead resistance. On the Monthly overhead resistance is around $37K which will drop fairly fast and if we end Dec above $20K I'd be shocked.
