Bitcoin Price Closing Above This “Hurdle” Sends Bulls “Off To The Races”

Bitcoin price has been consolidating for many weeks now, but has still yet to choose continuation or further correction. Over the last few days, bulls have begun to regain momentum, but have yet to clear one important hurdle before it is “off to the races,” says one crypto capital manager.

Here’s the line they’re referring to and what the rest of the race might look like once this hurdle is overcome and bulls take back full control.

$40,600: The “Hurdle” Bitcoin Must Jump For The Uptrend To Resume

Bitcoin spent nearly two full years in accumulation between $3,000 and $10,000, but once that range was breached the cryptocurrency quadrupled in value in just a few months.

The rise was sharp and abrupt, causing widespread Bitcoin FOMO ranging from retail, to celebs, to institutions and corporations. But after profit-taking kicked in around $42,000, the leading cryptocurrency has been consolidating, and altcoins like Ethereum have stolen the show.

Bitcoin is starting to rise again, and has reclaimed the middle of the current range. But before another attempt at $42,000 which will likely be broken with little challenge, the main “hurdle” price action must  overcome is at $40,600.

Bulls Are “Off To The Races” Once Resistance Is Taken

What happens when Bitcoin takes out $40,600? Jeff Ross, CEO of Vailshire Capital claims that its then “off to the races” and the uptrend will resume.

According to the chart Ross has shared, the price represents the highest daily candle close on the BTCUSDT trading pair on Binance.

That price might not translate perfectly to competitor exchanges like Coinbase, which have been trading at a premium due to spot buying.

Ross previously called for the rise to current levels after earlier this week confirming a clean technical breakout.  Bitcoin had been trading within what appeared to be a descending triangle. Descending triangles are typically bearish patterns, but in this case after a false breakdown, price action deceptively turned around and broke upward.

As far as what off to the races looks like, Ross doesn’t say, but the next logical level will be the high around $42,000 itself. If that is taken out, Bitcoin price could once again quadruple within weeks as the bullish impulse picks up in pace.

Thus far, the bull run has been behaving very differently than the last, with very few corrections and none reaching the last cycle average of 37% of more.

Without a correction, buyers will be left paying only increasingly higher prices.

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a global remote work leader with a decade of award-winning content experience and excellence. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
