As bitcoin makes the long-awaited correction to $50,000, a potential upside correction is imminent as a bullish pattern that could potentially send bitcoin breaking out $58,000 has formed. Following a sharp dip from last week, bitcoin bulls surged to $53,000 where support was sustained.
The dip sent prices down by 8%, but the bulls were quick to commence rerun and prices soon surged to $55,000. There has been a major price rejection from the aforementioned level. Bitcoin bulls had managed to maintain prices at $55,000. At press time, Bitcoin attempts to break through that price level as mild gains send Bitcoin to $54,977.
On the hourly chart, an inverse head and shoulder pattern is building up, with a bearish resistance trend pattern brewing at $58,000. If Bitcoin bulls build enough momentum to break out, Bitcoin could potentially retest $60,000.
However, failure to hold pressure at the said level could send Bitcoin dropping below $54,000. The dip could continue to swell up if an upward correction isn’t recorded in the near term, signaling a possible sag to levels below $50,000.

Meanwhile, interest in Bitcoin from traditional investors has surged dramatically. According to JPMorgan’s recent claims, retail investors are accumulating large amounts of Bitcoins. An estimated 187,000 bitcoin —about $10.4 billion—has been purchased over the past three months, from two of the leading payment platforms; Square and PayPal.
Recall that PayPal recently revealed plans to launch a “super app” with a design that accommodates advanced Crypto features. As payment apps like Square and PayPal continue to create Crypto-friendly features, these numbers will certainly surge. Institutional players are also just as active, they have reportedly recorded an estimated 174,000 BTC —$9.6 billion—in the same time period.
It is safe to say that Bitcoin bulls are far from taking a break. In the long term, the leading cryptocurrency is poised for a major breakout; $100,000 precisely, according to analysts’ forecast.
