After attempting to rally through $9,500 this week, Bitcoin failed to sustain its bullish momentum yet again. As of this article’s writing, the leading cryptocurrency trades for $9,200, having sustained somewhat of a pullback.

The retracement notably wasn’t caused by Bitcoin: a drop in the S&P 500 on Wednesday forced the crypto market leader.

Technical analysts, regardless, remain somewhat skeptical of BTC’s medium-term outlook.

Bitcoin on Track to Hit $7,000

Despite the strength seen over recent months, Bitcoin remains in a macro consolidation pattern.

A trader shared the chart below on July 9th, showing that BTC is consolidating at a diagonal resistance formed at the $20,000 all-time high. Bitcoin is also trading below the $10,500 horizontal resistance, which has been a level of importance for over a year now.

Bitcoin failing to break past these two pivotal levels will likely lead to an eventual retracement, the analyst said.

“Where are we? What’s going on? (1) Weekly. Consolidating at resistance. Until horizontal & diagonal resistance is broken, a drop to the 8ks at least & 7k is logical Can stay in this weekly triangle until Q2 2021.”

Another analyst has made a similar observation, saying that the bear case he has found predicts a BTC retracement under $7,000.

The trader said that Bitcoin’s recent price action looks similar to bearish schematics shared by the late technical analyst Richard Wyckoff. Should BTC follow the schematic, it will likely trade under $7,000, the analyst said:

“A couple more clues developing that lend themselves to HTF distribution. 1. Rising Demand on the verge of failing. 2. Side by side, ascent vs descent with selling the dominant pressure from volume.”

On-Chain Metrics Beg to Differ

On-chain metrics suggest that Bitcoin is not in distribution, but rather at the start of another bull market.

Blockchain analytics firm IntoTheBlock reports that as it stands, Bitcoin is currently in a “mostly bullish” state. Per their data, the underlying network is seeing slight growth while its in-house “concentration” indicator currently in the positive.

Bloomberg senior commodity analyst Mike McGlone has echoed the optimism. In Bloomberg’s July Crypto Outlook, the analyst wrote that increasing bTC  usage is likely to result in a move to higher prices.

“The number of active Bitcoin addresses used, a key signal of the 2018 price decline and 2019 recovery, suggests a value closer to $12,000, based on historical patterns. Reflecting greater adoption, the 30-day average of unique addresses from Coinmetrics has breached last year’s peak.”

The exact level McGlone identified is $12,734, the highest price BTC closed at in 2019.

Whether or not the on-chain case will be enough to wrest BTC higher remains to be seen, though.
