The Weekly chart of Bitcoin
The Bitcoin weekly chart continues to show a market in consolidation, following a strong bullish trend that saw consistent higher highs and higher lows. However, this week’s bearish candlestick marks a potential shift in short-term momentum, posing a challenge to the dominant bullish narrative.
The appearance of this bearish bar, despite the ongoing medium and long-term always in long market structure, suggests that bears may be gaining some influence in the short term. This could lead to further downward pressure in the coming weeks, unless bulls can muster a strong bullish response.
The bulls need to reclaim the midpoint of this week’s bearish bar to maintain the upward trajectory. The market is at a crucial juncture, and the resolution of this consolidation phase will likely determine the next directional move for Bitcoin. The appearance of this bearish expected short-term move, might present soon a buying opportunity for those who believe in the long-term bullish trend, as downside potential remains limited due to the underlying bullish market structure.
Traders should closely monitor the price action in the coming weeks to gauge the strength of both bulls and bears. The bears want good follow through, and bulls want to step up and push the price back above the midpoint of this week’s bearish bar to erase the downward momentum.
The Daily chart of Bitcoin
The Bitcoin daily chart continues to depict an ongoing trading range, as noted in prior reports. This wide range has spurred significant volatility, with distinct swings playing out within its boundaries.
A notable development this week is the breakdown of the breakout mode pattern that had formed at the top of the range. This downward swing could also potentially be setting the stage for a major triangle pattern, with last week’s high and the all-time high as key reference points. Such a pattern would require the price to swing up before establishing a new low within the trading range. This scenario suggests the possibility of a contraction pattern like a triangle unfolding.
As discussed in last week’s analysis, the breakout mode pattern could have resulted in either an upward or downward breakout. However, a downward breakout would be particular harder to capitalize on for bears, as it would bring the price back to the trading range apex (which happened this week) – a zone where trading is often discouraged for its unpredictability.
Both the daily and weekly charts suggest that selling Bitcoin at this juncture is challenging, and traders might miss a potential downward swing due to these factors. The anticipated move down would likely be triggered by long-term buyers closing their previous long positions, rather than bears selling.
