But, according to a number of crypto traders, BTC is preparing to see a correction as the charts signal caution. Related Reading: Crypto Tidbits: Bitcoin Surges to $7,800, More U.S. Stimulus, Tether Erupts This Exact Formation Was Seen on Bitcoin’s Chart Prior to a Dump One crypto trader recently remarked that despite Bitcoin’s rally, the chart of the cryptocurrency is currently looking somewhat precarious. Pointing to the chart that can be seen below, he suggested that the price action that has transpired over the past five weeks has created a very similar formation to that seen at the start of March 2020. The formation is marked by a number of things: 1) a number of bearish relative strength index (RSI) divergences at the top; 2) an extended rising wedge pattern, which is textbook bearish; and an ascending triangle that fails, breaking lower. This formation is important as it formed just\u00a0prior to a drop from $9,300 to $8,700 and then $7,700 just days later \u2014 a 20% crash in the four days after this formation formed.\u00a0Should this formation play out as it did last time, there’s a good likelihood Bitcoin will fall to the low-$6,000s in the coming days, just days prior to the halving. Adding to the bearish confluence, the trader observed a confluence of key resistance levels in the current BTC’s range, which would suggest the rally is soon to come to an end. Technically important levels in the current range include but are not limited to: The yearly volume-weighted average price The 200-day exponential and simple moving average The 21-week exponential moving average A key order block level And the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement, or “Golden Pocket” The top of a descending triangle.

According to crypto trader \u201cMoe,\u201d\u00a0the four-day chart of Bitcoin and Ethereum have just printed a harrowing sign as of April 26th: the Tom Demark Sequential \u2014 a time-based indicator that prints \u201c9\u201d candles near or at trend reversals \u2014 is forming a \u201c9\u201d candle on the current candle. This means that should the two cryptocurrencies close anywhere around the low to high-$7,000s, a \u201c9\u201d candle will be confirmed on the current four-day candle for BTC and ETH. Not only would this be a textbook sell signal, but a four-day \u201c9\u201d candle is also what predicted Bitcoin\u2019s previous medium-term high in February at $10,500. As Moe fittingly put it, it\u2019s a \u201cperfect sell setup.\u201d Photo by\u00a0frank mckenna\u00a0on\u00a0Unsplash<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":497,"featured_media":422073,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[679,1144,21578,4078],"class_list":["post-422071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-bitcoin-price","tag-btcusd","tag-fractal","tag-technical-analysis"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
