For the fourth or fifth day in a row, bulls have taken control of the Bitcoin (BTC) market, pushing the leading cryptocurrency as high as $7,660 just minutes ago, marking a multi-week high. As of the time of writing this, BTC is trading up 3% on the day, actually underperforming Ethereum’s 4% and XRP’s jaw-dropping 12%. Despite this, analysts are becoming certain that a strong continuation to the upside over the coming days is likely. Here’s more on that. Related Reading: Bitcoin Poised to Collapse Under $5,000? Market Cycle Fractal Suggests So Bitcoin Ready to Surge Higher Josh Olszewicz, an analyst at Brave New Coin, recently noted that an inverse head and shoulders chart pattern — a bullish pattern that is likely to mark a strong bottom for BTC — is playing out for Bitcoin. He remarked in a TradingView post outlining his trading idea that should BTC hit $7,525 (and it has), a move to the $8,100 to $8,700 range — a 7% and 14% rally, respectively — is likely to play out. As to why the rally will stop there, he cited a confluence of a few key resistances: the 200-day exponential moving average, the daily Ichimoku Cloud, a yearly pivot point, and the weekly 20 moving average. Also, a textbook Wyckoff Reaccumulation pattern suggests that BTC will break higher and higher in the coming days, in an upward move that will bring the asset back to the high-$7,000s.

Per previous reports from this very outlet, trader CryptoHamster recently noted that Bitcoin’s on-balance volume reading — an indicator which “uses volume flow to predict changes in stock price” — is printing a clear falling wedge pattern, a chart pattern marked by falling prices (or in this case, a reading) and a tightening range. In this case, the falling wedge seems bullish, with the Bitcoin-related on-balance volume reading rallying, implying imminent continuation to the upside.
