Bitcoin Will Fail in Its Triple Bottom, Says Cryptocurrency Enthusiast

Additionally, he noted that triple bottoms are rarely successful in BTC and provided two examples, one of a successful and one of an unsuccessful creation of a triple bottom.

Bitcoin never triple bottoms but I'm glad to be proven wrong by the almighty 2019 bulls 🙂 pic.twitter.com/clCS6u6weo

The triple bottom is a bullish pattern and often signifies that an uptrend will soon be initiated. However, the pattern should not be taken as a guaranteed price increase or looked at without regard to prior price movement or resistance lines. One scenario that may have contributed to the bearish sentiment of @redxbt is the descending resistance line that has been in place alongside the triple bottom: The descending resistance line creates a descending triangle, which is considered a bearish pattern. This illustrates the significance of taking into account resistance lines when observing a triple bottom. A descending resistance line can increase the possibility of a failed triple bottom. Another example which demonstrates this statement is given below. In 2017, BTC created a head and shoulders, which is considered a bearish pattern. If we not had paid attention to the price highs, we could have misread this as a triple bottom and had a bullish outlook instead. However, the contrary proved to be true, since BTC broke down shortly afterward.

Summary

Bitcoin has recently made a triple bottom inside a bearish descending triangle. According to @redxbt, BTC will eventually break down from this pattern. Do you think BTC will make a triple bottom or will it break down below support? Let us know in the comments below.
