Bitcoin continued it's bear market into 2019 hitting a low of $3,400 by Mid Feb, following which the bitcoin price entered into a trading range with an upward bias with resistance at $4,300 and rising trendline support from the $3,400 low as illustrated by the chart from my last update of late April 2019.

At the time Bitcoin had breached resistance at $4,300 and was targeting a trend to the $7,000 area which brings is to the present :

The bitcoin gamblers market continued it's technical bull run to a spike high of $13,900 late June, a rally that has resolved into a wide trading range of between $12,500 and $9,400.

Bitcoin isn't a market that I actively trade, in fact I consider it a gamblers market which is born out by it's volatile price action, lack of volume on exchanges where many tend to report dubious trading volumes, a market that is subject to the whims of threats of regulation and even actions to ban trading in crypto's altogether, with the list of crypto ban countries expanding every few weeks which currently includes the likes of China, Russia and India.

And then investors run the risk of their bitcoins holdings being stolen as exchanges disappear over night taking investor holdings with them. That's if investors don't lose their holdings all by themselves either through corruption of wallets or cyber crime such as phishing.

So Bitcoin is not a currency or investment, instead trading in Bitcoins is gambling and worse for the ever expanding list of alternative crypto's. Nevertheless, here is my analysis that seeks to conclude in the most probable trend forecast for the Bitcoin price into 2020.
