BTC/USD

At the moment, the BTC/USD quotes are consolidating. The key support and resistance levels are 7500.00 and 7800.00, respectively. Indicators do not send accurate signals:
- The price has fixed between 50 MA and 200 MA;
- The MACD histogram approached the 0 mark.

It is advisable to open positions from the key levels.

Trading recommendations

If the price fixes above the resistance level of 7800.00, further growth of "digital gold" is expected. The immediate goal of profit taking is the key offer zone of 8200.00-8400.00.

Alternative option. If the price fixes below 7500.00, it is necessary to consider sales of BTC/USD. The movement is tending to 7200.00-6800.00.

When following the positions, we recommend using a trailing stop.
