As Bitcoin has stalled in the $8,000s and $9,000s over recent weeks, certain analysts have begun to expect a strong move lower. One top trader went as far as to say that BTC could see a 40% drop in the coming months. He attributed this sentiment to how the cryptocurrency has seen such retracements in previous bull markets: “I’ve been seeing more and more comments saying BTC going down to support is unlikely because that’d be too big a drop. That’s not how BTC works. Retraces are short and vicious. Crashes even more so. 40% down is not unlikely, it’s happened before, it’ll happen again.” Image Courtesy of DonAlt.

Bitcoin Is Unlikely to Slip Under $7,000: On-Chain Analyst Every bear market over the past decade, Bitcoin moved below its two-year moving average to mark the bottom of a bear trend. In 2015, BTC fell to the $200-400 range to confirm this pattern. And even this year, during March’s crash, the cryptocurrency briefly traded under the pivotal technical level before recovering just weeks ago. According to the on-chain analyst that popularized this form of cycle analysis, Philip Swift, there’s a low chance Bitcoin dips under the moving average again during this cycle. “With mega money printing and growing unrest about (financial) freedoms around the world, dips below the 2yr MA (green line) are increasingly unlikely IMO,” he remarked, referencing how the recent “boring” price action looks exactly as BTC did at the start of previous parabolic bull runs.  Bitcoin price chart with the Two-Year Moving Average Multiplier tool from on-chain analyst Philip Swift (@PositiveCrypto on Twitter). The moving average is currently trending around $7,000, meaning Swift doesn’t believe BTC will slide under the level. The Fundamental Trends Boosting BTC Investors and executives in the space have recently postulated that Bitcoin is on the verge of a long-term uptrend. This corroborates Swift’s sentiment that Bitcoin is unlikely to dip under the moving average in this phase of the market cycle. They cite macro factors like money printing as reasons why BTC is poised to trend to the upside. In an interview with Bloomberg, Blockstream chief executive Adam Back remarked that BTC hitting $300,000 in the next five years is feasible. Some think Back is Satoshi Nakamoto, yet he has vehemently denied the rumors. The prominent programmer argued that with “a lot of money printing” going on in the world, BTC is making much more sense as an investment. This has been corroborated by Paul Tudor Jones, a billionaire investor. The Wall Street veteran wrote in a May report that he thinks BTC is the “fastest horse in the race” in a world where money is being printed en masse by central banks.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Slow Upward Drift Tests Market Supply

A slow, grinding upward drift has been the name of the game for bitcoin’s market over the last few weeks. The upward drift is bringing us slowly to a level that was previously rejected violently:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Upward DriftOur third rejection of the red resistance level shown above brought the market into a test of macro support in the mid-$3,000s.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Could Three Times Be the Charm for This Resistance Level?

Bitcoin remains in its tightly coiled range as the market continues its sideways trend for the third week in a row. While macro support has been tested three times recently, we have yet to test the overhanging macro resistance:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Narrow RangeThe blue zone outlined above shows a very strong zone of support that, over the last few weeks, has seen three strong tests and has led to a slowly upward-drifting market consolidation.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: New High Paves Potential Reversal Setup

After days and days of consolidation, bitcoin finally managed to break a new high for the first time in almost two weeks. This new high, so far, has been short lived, however, as it was almost immediately sold into by eager bears:Figure 1: BTC-USD, 4-Hour Candles, New HighOur current 4-hour candle is seeing a relatively easy retracement after days and days of an upward grind.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Keep an Eye Out for a Close Above the Current High

Shortly after falling from its test of the low $4,000s, bitcoin managed to find support in the mid $3,500s. This has proven to be a relevant level over the last few months, and finding support here would be a sign of relatively strong demand:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Local SupportThe high candle spread rejection following our test of the low $4,000s was an indication that we had strong levels of supply left in the market, but for the time being we are holding support.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Bullish Rejection Wipes Out Bitcoin’s Weekend Gains

Over the weekend, a strong rally was stifled by an even stronger rejection as the bitcoin market was shoved into a band of overhanging resistance. This band of resistance has been mentioned several times in our analyses over the last few weeks as it has proven impossible to overcome for the time being:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Failed BreakoutThis run to the low $4,000s coincided with a breakout of a rather large symmetrical triangle consolidation shown above.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Major Support Broken on Expanding Volume and Spread

After weeks of consolidation, bitcoin finally broke through support. The market now finds itself cruising toward prior lows. On expanding volume and spread, the bitcoin market appears ripe for a continuation of the downtrend:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Broken SupportAlthough the current daily candle has yet to close, unless there is a strong influx of demand hitting the market, it stands to reason that bitcoin will be closing a new daily low for the first time since mid-December.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Strong Move Likely Following Tightly Coiled Market

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Range-Bound Market Coiled for Next Move

For the better part of a month and a half, bitcoin has been fairly range-bound and unable to establish new lows or new highs. There are some bullish and bearish setups on the horizon for bitcoin, so let’s check out both sides of the argument because currently the market is sitting in the middle of Indecisionville — the most immediate sign of which is this glaringly obvious head-and-shoulders bottom reversal pattern:Figure 1: BTC-USD, Daily Candles, Head-and-Shoulders BottomThis current pattern is nothing more than a setup at the moment, but it represents one potential outcome of this sustained consolidation.
