Closer Look at Bitcoin Analysis
Bitcoin price has risen since the calendar flipped despite the weekly death cross that happened earlier last week for the first time in its history. A death cross involves the 50 and 200 MA, whereby they cross one another to form a resistance trendline. Nonetheless, BTC/USD daily timeframe has recorded a golden cross that has significantly bolstered the bull thesis. Moreover, Bitcoin price has been forming higher highs and higher lows on the daily time frame, which is significantly considered a rising trend.
Having rebounded from the $25k level severally in the past two weeks, Bitcoin bulls will need to act on this resistance zone before continuing towards $30k. A breakout towards $30k is highly plausible based on a historical study after Bitcoin hit rock bottom during the bear markets.
However, the daily RSI indicator – a prevalent crypto trading indicator – has been depicting a possible Bitcoin correction in the coming weeks. Notably, with Bitcoin price forming possible double tops on the daily time frame, the daily RSI has indicated a falling divergence. Additionally, the daily RSI is retesting the 50-point level, whereby a further dip could entail an imminent price correction.
Notably, Bitcoin price is about a year away from its halving event, which reduces its market supply by half. With the demand for more Bitcoins on the rise, the overall effect is expected to rejuvenate the bulls.
