Next Big Move For Bitcoin Price: Will The Infamous Golden Cross Fakeout Strike Again?
Advertisement

Bitcoin bulls and bears alike are watching the recent price action like a hawk ready to strike at the first sign of opportunity. Thus far, bulls have been winning the recent battles and appear to be regaining control. However, the bear market has been a long one with many surprises, twists, and downturns.

History often repeats, which is cause for alarm for bulls as in the past the bullish “golden cross” that just occurred in Bitcoin price charts, ended up being a fakeout that was was quickly followed by a steep retracement that resulted in a bearish death cross. The historical price action is the focal point of much analysis throughout the crypto space, as investors and traders wonder where Bitcoin’s next big move may take the market next.

Bitcoin Price Pattern Shows Cyclical Market Structure, Golden Cross Fakeout Could Repeat

In a detailed, long-term Bitcoin price analysis posted by crypto analyst Wüsten, the chartist outlines a unique connection between the peak and troughs of the 2013 price peak and the 2014-2015 bear market bottom, to the current bull peak and following bear market.

The charts clearly depict that the first death cross in each bear market happened in the month of April, ramping the bearish momentum up further. After that, price action remains bearish for the following year through to April, when a fakeout golden cross occurs. Shortly after the price falls again, making another death cross, until the actual golden cross happens later in the year in the month of October.

If today’s Bitcoin price action follows the same path and behavior as the 2014-2015 cycle, and it has followed it eerily closely thus far, Bitcoin could fall in the coming days to retest support, making a death cross yet again, before resuming bullish price momentum and causing another, real golden cross on price charts in October.

A golden cross in financial markets happens when a short-term moving average crosses over the long-term moving average. Such an occurrence is often considered a bullish signal that significant price growth is coming.

If Bitcoin Drops, How Hard Does it Fall?

If the altcoin market bleeding out is any indication of what might happen for Bitcoin, a steep fall may be in the cards. Crypto analysts are sharing conflicting views as to where Bitcoin might fall, yet most agree that a retracement is needed for healthy price action.

If we are to see another dive into them lows, a logical top would be around these heights.

— Polar Hunt (@polar_hunt) April 24, 2019

Crypto analyst PolarHunt has superimposed the 2014-2015 bear market over the current Bitcoin price chart in hopes of determining Bitcoin’s next decline. The trader says that a “logical top” would be at current price levels, but acknowledges that it’s very difficult to sell after such bullish price action.

A retracement to the 200 MDA, now support instead of resistance, would give a 50% correction of the recent move up in real terms. In nominal terms, in price, a 25% consolidation. Rational analysis minus the hype.? pic.twitter.com/YICMfwJtxk

Another crypto analyst, Dave the Wave, known for his long-term charts and MACD analysis, believes that Bitcoin will retrace back to the 200 MDA, which will act as resistance turned support. The moving average is currently around the price level Bitcoin made its initial major rally from, when it cut through resistance at $4,200 and rocketed nearly $1000 in the matter of an hour.

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a digital media executive and global remote work leader with a decade of content experience and excellent. 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.
