Bitcoin (BTC) appears to be the best performing major asset in the world so far in the new decade, as it has been able to post a massive climb from its recent low of $6,800 that was set in the early part of Jan 2020.
BTC has been able to further extend this newfound momentum today, allowing it to tap its key near-term resistance before facing a slight sell-off.
It is important to note that bulls are contesting this resistance level at the moment, which has led many investors to think that a break above this level is inbound.
In spite of this, an eerily accurate fractal pattern is now suggesting that Bitcoin’s visit to $9,000 could mark a mid-term top for the cryptocurrency, which could subsequently be followed by a drop towards $7,000.
Bitcoin Struggles to Break $9,000 Despite Strong MomentumIt appears that Bitcoin is currently facing a significant amount of selling pressure at $9,000, as its strong upward momentum has not been enough to decisively propel the crypto above this level.
In the near-term, analysts are closely watching to see how it responds to this price point, with a break and sustained hold above this level potentially being enough to send BTC up towards $10,000.
Before hitting $10,000, however, the significant amount of sell orders that currently sit at around $9,200 could prove to be one more hurdle the crypto has to jump over before it makes a strong movement towards the coveted five-figure price region.
This Fractal Suggests $9,000 Could Be a Mid-Term BTC TopOne factor that should be kept in mind is that Bitcoin’s current price action is closely mirroring a bearish fractal formation, which—if this eerily close correlation is to continue—suggests that BTC may soon face a decisive rejection at $9,000 that leads it into the $7,000 region.
NebraskanGooner, a well-respected cryptocurrency trader and analyst on Twitter, spoke about this striking fractal in a recent tweet, noting that it could soon be confirmed if BTC is rejected at the trendline he references in the below chart.
“Fractal update: This is crazy! Price rejected at almost the exact dollar as the mini-fractal showed. If it holds true, the top could be in. Wait for confirmation of this trend line hold as resistance. According to this, shorting a retest of 9k is the next play before 7k,” he explained.
