The CBOE opened up today with BTC Futures listed for the first time in any conventional exchanges. There were some glitches, such as the CBOE website going down. Trading halted a couple of times as $BTCUSD surged, according to Bloomberg.com.I believe Bitcoin is going higher in 2018. The space is vibrant, competitive, innovative, and thriving. When we see bitcoin NOT go higher for more than a couple of weeks, than we might be seeing a period of significant consolidation. Otherwise, I think we should assume the trend continues.BTCUSD Daily Chart(click to enlarge)New High:- The daily chart shows BTCUSD edging out a new high during the US trading session. - Even though I said that BTC should continue to be bullish in 2018, I think there could be some correction ahead. - Let's take a look at the market cap below.- We can see that over the week, people pulled out of the crypto space, either because they rather trade futures, or due to fear from the event risk of CBOE introducing BTC futures.- However, we saw a return of flow back into the market during the 12/10 session.- The inflow, and the volume has calmed down as the 12/12 Asian session just got started. - If bitcoin dips, we should monitor the $15,000 level for support.
