Levels to Watch For

, Bitcoin closing above $6,425 when the monthly candle closes in the very near future would be one of the feasible best-case scenarios for the cryptocurrency:

“Bitcoin monthly close above $6,425 would be a solid bullish [swing failure pattern] to make April to May brighter.”

Indeed, $6,425 is a crucial level from a long-term perspective, as that’s where BTC bottomed in December. Also, the low-$6,000s were absolutely key for Bitcoin during the 2018 bear market: the cryptocurrency bounced off that region on multiple occasions.

The asset managing to close above this historically-pertinent level would create a so-called swing failure pattern, according to CryptoBirb, which would give credence to a bullish reversal.

Many have also pointed to the fact that March’s candle looks like the bottoming process seen during the 2013-2015 cycle, during which Bitcoin saw a massive capitulation event that saw it similarly fall by some 50% within a few days’ time span, to only bounce back in the weeks that followed.

With Bitcoin currently changing hands for $6,470, the bull-case close scenario seems possible. According to CryptoISO, however, whatever the candle closes at, it seems to be in a bearish structure.
