Bitcoin fails after the breakout

BITSTAMP:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
Bitcoin broke to the upside from a triangle-like pattern but failed to gather enough momentum to ascend to new all-time highs. Subsequently, its price broke down below $69,000. Interestingly, the preceding rise was not accompanied by a drop in the number of Bitcoin addresses with balances exceeding 1,000 BTC (and also those exceeding 100 BTC), suggesting large speculators are willing to hold even with Bitcoin above $70,000. However, the trend is very weak, as reflected by the low value of ADX on the daily chart. Due to this weakness, it is probably better to stay on the sidelines and wait until some momentum starts to build up (either to the upside or downside).
