The triangle pattern which Bitcoin has been forming since January is approaching its end. Traders seem unsure of how the pattern is going to play out. This week has seen the price of Bitcoin consolidate with the volatility in the price of Bitcoin reaching consecutive lows for 2018.
With many traders unsure of how the triangle will play out, the RSI has also been consolidating and trading around 50 representing an even pressure from buyers and sellers. Volatility, as measured by average true range (ATR) is trading around 215. The 50 EMA appears to be providing some resistance but is unlikely to hold if there is an influx of buyers.
We are now in Q4 of 2018. How this triangle pattern plays out may set the sentiment for the rest of the year. If a bearish breakout occurs, many are anticipating a return to sub-$6k levels and a sharp drop below. If a bullish breakout occurs, the triangle pattern which has been forming since January will likely be broken, and the chances of a longer-term uptrend will be greatly improved.
