This is 99Bitcoins’ weekly Bitcoin price analysis. 

13/7/2015 – Bitcoin price on the rise

All the indications from the previous week suggested an upside movement in the price index. Correctly so, the week started on a high with Bitcoin’s price jumping a massive 14% to break the $300 mark and was comfortably trading around $310. The price climbed up as high as $317.99, the highest mark of the last seven months. The MACD and the Signal Line were pretty strong with values of 14.8326 and 9.6590, respectively. The Histogram value was at 5.1736. The worrying point was the daily RSI value of 79.4324; the highest value registered in 2015, which indicated extreme overbought situations.

14/7/2015 – Hold, hold, hold

Greece was determined to remain at Eurozone as the Greek government came to an understanding with its creditors. With the Grexit more or less out of the equation, Bitcoin price dropped by more than eight percent. After Greece started discussing a possible deal, the price dropped to $281 for some time, then stabilizing at $294. The MACD was positive with a value of 13.8294, while values like Signal Line and Histogram were also positive (10.2689 and 3.5605, respectively). The MFI declined to 59.3305, suggesting a bigger Bitcoin price drop in the near future. The RSI value was at 66.8742, easing from its highly overbought levels.

The MACD held a healthy position at 13.0754. Signal Line and Histogram had values of 10.8195 and 2.2559 respectively, keeping each other “honest”.

After the Greek situation, the Bitcoin price climbed up for a while, but it looks like it is going to roll back down. It is safe to say that the next week will be on the downside for Bitcoin in terms of market price.
