Bitcoin analysis for April 20, 2018

The Bitcoin (BTC) has been trading upwards. As I expected, the price tested the level of $8,315. The European Parliament has voted in favor of stricter regulations in the crypto sector. Crypto exchanges and wallet providers will be required to introduce customer due diligence procedures, including identity verification. The platforms will have to apply for registration in order to offer their services. The new measures come with the latest update of the EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive.Technical picture on Bitcoin looks neutral to bearish.

Trading recommendations:

According to the H4 time frame, I found broken flat base and falling wedge in the background, which is a sign that buyers are in control. I also found a head and shoulders failure pattern, which is another sign of strength. My advice is to watch for potential buying opportunities. The upward target is set at the price of $8,875.
