Bitcoin Price Forecast - Can you buy Bitcoins right now or is it too late?

Bitcoin broke all speculations and reached a high price of USD 18,400 earlier this week. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts are very optimistic about this “healthy trend” as contrary to 2017, there are not many hypes, scams, misinformation, and propaganda. Only positive events are fueling the price, such as increased adoption and spreading sound knowledge. Will the price continue to rise and break its previous all-time high or adjust back to a lower price level, opening buy opportunities for new investors?

Following the slight price adjustment, Bitcoin is expected to further adjust and at worst, enter the yellow parallel channel, between USD 17,000 and USD 17,620 (fig.2)

For traders who are just entering the market, the above key areas are important stop-loss levels in case the price of Bitcoin turns the other way. In case positivity kept flowing across the crypto market, prices are expected to keep going up, reaching the next area of USD 19,000.
