If the current price action is a top formation, then it doesn’t match the sharp spikes Bitcoin<\/a> and blow-off tops the cryptocurrency is known for. Only one other time has a comparable rounded top formation appeared on BTCUSD price charts over the last ten years. And when it happened, a major correction followed.<\/p>\n Should the first-ever cryptocurrency fail to pump soon and prove this trading range isn’t a top, then another collapse could be next.<\/p>\n The current Bitcoin price action has the crypto market and its participants confused<\/a>. The indecision is reflected in both the sideways price action and the doji on the June monthly close<\/a>.<\/p>\n Volatility in the normally notoriously explosive asset class has reached record lows. The cryptocurrency rarely stays in this tight of a trading range for very long. When it does eventually break out, a powerful, over 20% move follows, according to data<\/a>.<\/p>\n Crypto analysts review past price action in Bitcoin seeking clues to how current and future price movements may play out.<\/p>\n Related Reading | Bitcoin Monthly Shows Indecision, Data Reveals The Shocking Aftermath of Past Doji<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Fundamentally, Bitcoin has never been healthier. The cryptocurrency’s halving just passed, and records are being set for the fewest BTC moved in years<\/a>. A number of key indicators are “screaming buy<\/a>.”<\/p>\n Technically speaking, the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of its next long-term uptrend<\/a>. Or, another crash could be on the way before that happens.<\/p>\n And if the current price action is a slowly rounding top, it marks only the second structure of this kind in the asset’s history. Only one other time did Bitcoin trade within a similar range and timeframe, and a massive correction followed.<\/p>\n The leading cryptocurrency by market cap is at an impasse. A new tool indicated that Bitcoin’s next bull run was here, but the pandemic had other plans<\/a>. Now, cases of the outbreak are skyrocketing across the globe, putting the crypto market at risk of another steep selloff.<\/p>\n The last panic-driven selloff on Black Thursday cut Bitcoin price in half within 48 hours. The move shocked the investment world as record losses were around every turn.<\/p>\n While the asset has since recovered alongside the stock market, as cases spike again, there’s more danger and risk ahead.<\/p>\n Coinciding with this concerning increase in cases and a return of fear, Bitcoin is ready for a decision to be made.<\/p>\n The asset has been trading sideways for a total of 63 days within a 20% range. The only other instance of a rounded top in Bitcoin’s history that traded within a similar range and timeframe, resulted in a shocking drop.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The drop resulted in yet another lower low in Bitcoin and a deeper dive into an extended bear market.<\/p>\n Such a scenario, given Bitcoin’s fundamental health<\/a> and the hyperinflation that is coming, is unlikely. However, Bitcoin must prove that this isn’t a long, drawn-out rounded top.<\/p>\nWhen Will The Confusing, Sideways Trading Range End and Crypto Break Out?<\/h2>\n
