Bitcoin is looking to breakout on the move toward new highs! A bull flag pattern is developing on its price charts, pointing to some very bullish potential in the near future. This formation indicates a potential breakout that would send the digital asset soaring to nearly $165K. A rising channel in which bitcoin has been trading since forming a local bottom in early May is currently being tested. Its price regularly swings back and forth between the top and bottom of this channel.
The current misconfiguration is unique in that it repeats a pattern we’ve seen to unfold before. That trend contributed to a massive price increase for Bitcoin, producing profits in the thousands of dollars over only a few weeks. Because of this historical precedent, the bullish outlook implied by the present bull flag is that much more significant.
Several technical indicators support the optimistic forecast. Bitcoin's price is currently trading above both the 9-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), which are commonly used by traders to gauge the cryptocurrency's momentum. In general, crossing above these three important key moving averages is a reliable indicator of a bullish trend.
Additionally, the recent halving event in April 2024 that cut mining rewards in half has fueled Bitcoin’s supply dynamics. The halving cut in half the rate at which new Bitcoin coins are created. This would add to scarcity and raise the price.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price is over $108,000, just below the bull flag’s upper boundary. The writer mighta heard one analyst say a breakout was just around the corner.
