Bitcoin runs back into 2017-21 Trendline, Sol Flashes ‘Shooting Star’ Warning

This is a daily analysis of Coindesk analyst and chartered market technician Omkar Godbole.

A few days ago, Coindesk highlighted three potential obstacles that could raise Bitcoin’s (BTC) march against $ 120,000, one of which was the well -established bull -fatigue zone over $ 116,000, in place since July. Surely enough, BTC’s recent rejection from low down to $ 107,200 has hit a wall, failing to break decisively over $ 116,000 since last Friday.

This resistance is closely matched with an important trend line connecting Bull Market tops in December 2017 and November 2021, a prize ceiling that is uncovered BTC’s upside in July and August, as shown by the long upper wicks on the monthly lights. Bulls already tried twice but couldn’t hold over this line.

Can Bulls crack it on a third attempt? Possibly. Many analysts expect Bitcoin to continue to grind higher at the end of the year, bent by the broadly expected bold rate. But a third consecutive failure here would strengthen the bears of the bears, which potentially fuel for a deeper withdrawal.

The first warning signs of a collapse could emerge if daily prices slip under the Ichimoku cloud, which is currently acting as an indecision zone. From writing, Bitcoin deals within this cloud that gives a little directional clarity. Crossing over or below this cloud often signals shifts in momentum, so dealers need to look carefully.

Sun’s warning of ‘shooting star’

While the enthusiasm of a Solana’s (sun) award views remains high, the technical things suggest a note of caution. On Sunday, Sol formed a classic “Shooting Star” candlestick after hit a high month’s height near $ 250, only to withdraw sharply at the end.

This pattern, a small real body with a long upper shade after a prolonged climb, which in the Sun’s case signales that buyers pushed prices higher, but ultimately lost control to sellers who drove the price back near today’s low.

The Bearish signal was confirmed as prices dipped further to around $ 230 Monday, indicating a possible trend turning.

For bulls to regain control, sun has to recover and hold over the top of $ 250. Otherwise, the path will look at a deeper decline, especially if the Fed’s upcoming decision is disappointing markets by suggesting a more Hawkish attitude in the coming months.

Ether’s narrowing press range

Ether (ETH), meanwhile, seems to have lost its earlier momentum and run sideways after hitting a highlight of all the time near $ 5,000 last month. Price action has formed a symmetrical triangle – a technical pattern that represents indecision, where neither bull nor bear is ready to make a crucial feature.

These triangles typically solve with an outbreak or degradation, which sets the tone for the next directional feature. For the time being, it is best to wait for clear signals as Ether’s price consolidates within this tightening area.
