BTC has had a unbelievable year, but it is now starting to come to a head in the final weeks and days of 2017.

Right now, it appears that BTC is making a large bear flag which should see it hit around $17k before potentially dropping to ~$9k.

Now, this is BTC, so there's always a caveat. I've seen BTC break up out of rising wedges, head and shoulders' and bear flags before, so just keep a close eye on the price action around 17k and be prepared to close your longs.
Komen:
BTC is teetering on the edge of the abyss.

On the lower time frames (1HR) it is forming a small h&s
On the bigger time frame (4HR) it is just poking out the bottom of the flag, RSI is turning down and it's just crossing the 50 MA.


As I said at the beginning though, there's always a caveat when providing TA on BTC. It could ignore all of the bearish shapes and continue upwards. With that said, it's in a precarious situation right now.
Komen:
So the small H&S decided to actual break down this time.... fancy that, BTC adhering to a bear shape!


This could be part of a bigger H&S, which I'll chart now.

And here is the larger head and shoulders at work:


Let's keep an eye on this.
Komen:
BTC has definitely broken to the down side and this should worry everyone who currently holds BTC.

The bear flag didn't complete, but it's morphed into a descending triangle which has been articulated nicely in the following analysis:
