Bitcoin is trading near $53,000 price level after making a high last week around $64,760. We have warned several times before that despite price making higher highs, the RSI was giving bearish divergence signals by making lower highs. Today we have confirmation by the Ichimoku cloud indicator that Bitcoin is expected to start a correction soon.

In our previous analysis using the Ichimoku cloud indicator we warned bulls that they need to defend the cloud. Price has been trading above the cloud since it was back at $11,000. By breaking inside the cloud trend changes to neutral from bullish. This increases the chances of a move lower towards the lower cloud boundary around $49,300. A break below this level will increase chances even more for a deeper correction towards $40,000 and lower.

On a weekly basis price is about to close below the tenkan-sen (red line indicator). When this is the case, price usually pulls back towards the kijun-sen (yellow line indicator). The kijun-sen is now at $38,745. Bulls need to be very cautious as the next few weeks could be bad for Bitcoin and we might see a deep correction towards $35,000-$40,000 area.
