Since the lows of $3,700 in March, Bitcoin has performed extremely well. Managing to shake off the fears of a recession and potentially even a depression, the leading cryptocurrency has exploded higher from $3,700 to $10,000 just recently, outpacing every other asset class in the process.
According to a top trader, the recent rally is much more important than Bitcoin’s price just rallying higher.
Bitcoin Breaks Key Downtrend in Boost to Bull Case
One prominent trader recently shared the chart below, indicating that despite the correction over the past few days, Bitcoin remains above a key resistance: the downtrend that was formed after BTC topped at $14,000 in 2019. This is a positive time, he suggested when he wrote:
“Zooming out on the three-day chart we can clearly see the downtrend from the 14k high is already broken and we are simply consolidating and retesting here.”

Watch Out for a Short-Term Correction
Despite the positive outlook the trader indicated Bitcoin has, some are fearing a drawdown in the short term.
Four out of six proprietary metrics of blockchain intelligence firm IntoTheBlock show that BTC is currently “mostly bearish,” with the number of large transactions slowing down, traders slowly becoming unprofitable, and the short-term growth of Bitcoin slowing.
Into The Block metrics for Bitcoin as of May 16th.
The only redeeming factor Bitcoin currently has, IntoTheBlock indicated, is a slight “bid-ask volume imbalance” to the side of bids, suggesting there is latent demand for BTC in spite of the recent price action.
Adding to this, there are growing signs that miners are undergoing a “capitulation” event, whereas they are forced to turn off their machines and/or sell their coins to maintain cash flows.
According to May 14th data shared by blockchain analytics company Coin Metrics, since the block reward halving, the hash rate of the Bitcoin network has “dropped 30%.” D’Souza said on the date of the halving that if Bitcoin trades around the $8,000s and $9,000s levels, more than 30% of miners are actually unprofitable.
Prominent finance-centric podcaster and analyst Preston Pysh believes that this trend may lead to one more drop in the market — “one more bite at the apple” — in the coming weeks. He indicated this position in the tweet below.
31 blocks behind schedule on this epoch. The rate seems to be widening as well. There might be one more bite at the apple. For all you deep hodlrs, make sure you got your buying hats ready. @mjdsouza2 @100trillionUSD @Breedlove22 https://t.co/kM5PZ8dp5V pic.twitter.com/TGNfu6Vdry

Bitcoin Still Long-Term Bullish
While the word “capitulation” strikes fear into the hearts of Bitcoin investors around the world — the term was used ad nauseam during the crash in 2018 — it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Data compiled by Charles Edwards suggests that after every Bitcoin miner capitulation, a strong surge in the market has taken place. Edwards’ table below depicts this, as it shows that every time capitulation was signaled by the Hash Ribbons indicator, what followed was a massive macro surge to highs.

Bitcoin is up by more than 60% in the last 2 months. This comes after Bitcoin rallied by around 7% in the last 24 hours to take prices back to a previous range of $9,700. This was Bitcoin’s range before the early May dump that sent Bitcoin to $8,800 lows. Bitcoin’s return will be a […]
Bitcoin may have performed extremely well over the past two months, rallying over 100% from the March lows, but technicals show and analysts argue that the rally is far from over.

Bitcoin has been on a near-unstoppable rally since March’s lows of $3,700. The cryptocurrency at last week’s highs was up more than 170% from the lows, tapping $10,100 after a spectacular jump higher.
Since the $3,700 lows, Bitcoin has roared higher, crossing above resistance after resistance in succession. Just recently, BTC tapped $10,000. Although impressive, a top analyst expects for the cryptocurrency to head even higher, citing three “solid” tailwinds for this market.
It’s been an explosive past 24 hours for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market. After building bullish momentum for the past seven weeks, BTC finally broke past $10,000 today, posting a more than 170% gain since the $3,700 lows of March.
Bitcoin has been on an impressive run over the past few weeks, mounting past resistance after resistance despite a harrowing macroeconomic backdrop. Since the March lows of $3,700, BTC is up 150%, a stellar performance that puts almost any other $100 billion+ asset to shame.
Bitcoin has seen some immense bullishness throughout the past couple of days, with the benchmark cryptocurrency incurring a notable uptrend that allowed it to climb from lows of $7,700 to highs of $9,500.
Just six weeks after Bitcoin crashed to $3,700, the cryptocurrency has started to push $8,000 — more than 115 percent higher than the March lows. It’s a reversal that has shocked analysts, to say the least, as many expected BTC (and stocks for that matter) to fall once again as the COVID-19 outbreak has worsened.
Bitcoin has been on a remarkable run over the past few weeks, rallying over 100% from March’s lows around $3,700. It’s been an impressive move that has liquidated dozens of millions of dollars worth of shorts.
From the $3,700 lows established in the middle of March, Bitcoin has mounted an extremely steep comeback over the past five to six weeks. In fact, the leading cryptocurrency is currently trading over 100% off the lows, effectively recovering all of the crash’s damage.
Bitcoin’s performance over the past few weeks since the mid-March bottom has undoubtedly been impressive. The cryptocurrency, after all, is up nearly 100 percent from the $3,700 lows, a performance that only companies that got supported by the U.
When Bitcoin fell from $7,700 to $3,700 within 24 hours in March, investors were claiming that the cryptocurrency was toast.

Bitcoin investors haven’t done too well over the past two months. Despite the near 100% recovery from the $3,700 lows seen on March 12th, the cryptocurrency remains more than 30% below the 2020 highs near $10,500.
Even after the recent tepid price action Bitcoin remains 86 percent above its $3,700 lows set in March’s “Black Thursday” crash. Instead of deterring late arrivals, this strong rally has seemingly convinced many retail traders that Bitcoin’s rally is far from complete.
Following a brief selloff that led Bitcoin down to lows of $5,800 overnight, the crypto has been able to post a strong and sustainable rebound that has since led it to climb towards $6,500, with bulls currently attempting to reclaim its previous position within the upper-$6,000 region. It now appears that bulls are in the...
While the majority of traders are getting in front of the potential Bitcoin (BTC) price pump, some indicators show that the bearish rally is clearly nowhere near its end
The crypto market has been caught within an intense bout of volatility over the past several days and weeks, which has been led by Bitcoin’s capitulatory decline from recent highs of $10,500 to lows of $7,700 that were set today.
Bitcoin bulls were surprised to wake up to a massive early-morning drop that sent the cryptocurrency reeling down to lows of $9,700, which is where BTC was able to find some support that helped it climb higher.
Bitcoin (BTC) has seen intense volatility over the past few days, with bulls propelling the crypto to highs of $10,200 before bears fought back and forced it down to lows of $9,700. In the time since, it appears that the crypto may be entering a bout of sideways trading.

The ICX price has been creating new all-time lows since May of 2019. While it initially found support at 1,700 satoshis, the price broke down once again in December and has been decreasing rapidly since.
Bitcoin (BTC) has been caught in a firm uptrend over the past several days, which has primarily been the result of the massive upwards momentum that was sparked when it tapped lows of $6,400 earlier last week.
After months of brutal downtrend, it seems that bulls are returning to the Bitcoin (BTC) market. Since the leading cryptocurrency hit $6,400 earlier this month, bulls have taken control of the asset, pushing it from those multi-month lows to as high as $7,700 just this morning prior to a 4% drop.
Bitcoin has just plunged to a new six month low under $6,700 which opens up a new range of lows in the short term. The chances of a ‘santa rally’ are dwindling as crypto markets continue to crash back towards the deep chills of winter 2018 levels.
The recent Bitcoin (BTC) jump from $7,300 to $9,700 has renewed bullish expectations. Just three days ago, you had analysts calling for a return to the $3,000 lows — gold bug Peter Schiff even noted that $2,000 was in the cards; now, all eyes are on new all-time highs for Bitcoin.
An impending bear cross of the 128 and 111-day moving average could see Bitcoin price drop below the $7,777 and $7,700 support to new lows below $7,300
Bitcoin is starting to look shaky and could potentially return to last week’s lows of $7,700, predicts veteran crypto analyst @CryptoCred. Bitcoin Holds on Above $8K BTC bulls are desperately clinging to the $8,400 level right now, but the last few days saw volumes falter once again.
Following a continued downtrend and recent lows around $7,700 being defended by bulls, Bitcoin price is currently trading at $8,300 after a surge to $8,800 overnight last night was rejected with force by bears.
Since the start of the week, Bitcoin price has rallied from a retest of lows around $7,700 to $8,700 – gaining over $1,000 in value during the short timeframe. The rise in Bitcoin price was also yet another retest of the asset’s 200-day moving average, and what happens from here could determine the trend ahead.
This year has certainly been more fruitful for bitcoin price than 2018 was. That said, it has not shown any signs yet of returning to an all-time high. Looking at the lows may offer some indication of how big the next bull run could be.
During the last week of May, Bitcoin hit the new highs of 2019 twice when it surged above $9,000 touching $9,100 briefly. Since starting the new month June, after surging to $8,800 level Bitcoin took a drastic drop to $7,700 level on June 3rd and then another drop below $7,400, the next day. Bitcoin has […]

After days and days of consolidation, bitcoin finally managed to break a new high for the first time in almost two weeks.

Bitcoin (BTC) has held steady above $3,600 after yesterday’s upwards surge that sent it climbing from lows of $3,400 to highs of $3,700. Although often times these upwards price movements are typically followed by a cool-off period that results in Bitcoin surrendering a portion of its gains, BTC has held steady at its current price.
Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets may be nearing their one-year lows, but copious amounts of optimism still exist in the minds of believers the world over. Case in point, while many analysts are unfaltering in their belief that lower lows are inbound, with even one short-term sardonic commentator calling for a $1,700 BTC, hope.
