Bitcoin price<\/a> may be trading sideways, but it continues to hold above a key level that in the past led to over 5,000% returns. BTCUSD has now held for its seventh consecutive weekly close above the Ichimoku cloud<\/a>, but there’s a shocking twist coming that could shake up the sideways trend.<\/p>\n The leading cryptocurrency by market cap has been consolidating below resistance for months now, preparing for its next major move. A rejection could potentially expose Bitcoin price to setting a new lower low, but a breakout above the current level could kick off a new bull market.<\/p>\n Because of the possible implications of the tight trading range breaking, crypto analysts are scouring through price charts hoping to make sense of the confusing price action.<\/p>\n Related Reading | This Unique Perspective on Bitcoin Charting Makes Bull Breakout Clear As Day<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Some charting perspectives indicate a clear breakout<\/a> and retest already, while other takes hint at something more bearish ahead.<\/p>\n Analysts are also relying on technical analysis indicators to help shed light on what to expect, and even that is cloudy. Bollinger Bands show the tightest contraction in years<\/a>, something that typically precedes an over 50% or more movement. Weekly MACD is still bullish, as are other key indicators.<\/p>\n On the Ichimoku indicator, the market’s top crypto asset has been holding above the Kumo, or “cloud.” Bitcoin price<\/a> candles have now closed above the Kumo for seven consecutive weeks. But what exactly does this mean or suggest?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although Bitcoin price<\/a> has been holding strong above the Kumo<\/a>, the cloud on the Ichimoku indicator is beginning to “twist.”<\/p>\n A “Kumo twist” can often be a sign of a reversal. In the image above, past Kumo twists clearly depict where and when reversals take place.<\/p>\n The Kumo grows or shrinks in size based on an asset’s relative volatility<\/a>. When volatility drops, the Kumo thins and weakens, allowing price to pass through it like a hot knife through butter.<\/p>\n The twist in Kumo on BTCUSD weekly price charts may be hinting at a breakdown. In the image below comparing past Bitcoin price cycles with current price action<\/a>, a breakdown was quickly bought back up once it touched the Kijun-Sen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If the same thing plays out, crypto traders will have one more chance to buy the dip in Bitcoin price<\/a> at roughly $7,200 where the Kijun-Sen lies. After that, it could be liftoff into a new bull market.<\/p>\n Related Reading | How Lengthening Bitcoin Cycles Conflict With Halving Driven Supply Theories<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nBitcoin Price Closes Seventh Weekly Candle Above Ichimoku Cloud<\/h2>\n
