Bitcoinâs price movements on the hourly seem to suggest that a bullish formation is being completed. Traders are noticing a head and shoulders bottom with a breakout imminent.
The âhead and shouldersâ formation is a classic charting pattern in technical analysis (TA). Even if you donât believe in using TA, itâs something of a self-fulfilling prophecyâand, by all estimates, it seems that Bitcoin is creating a textbook head and shoulders bottom pattern on the hourly chart. This likely means a breakout is imminent.
Bitcoin Head and Shoulders
Notable cryptocurrency trader BenjaminBlunts (@SmartContracter) noticed this pattern earlier today. âHead and shoulders, inside a larger head and shoulders,â he writes. Judging that we are near the end of the second shoulder, Bitcoin should spike in the short-term according to Benjamin.

In the past few days, Bitcoin surprisingly dropped below the $10,000 price point but quickly recovered during the same day and closed above it. This appears to be a textbook âaccumulation zone,â and the price seems resilient above $10,000. Itâs unclear whether or not we will revisit sub $10,000 another time, but the bullish momentum building seems to indicate that we wonât.
Bitcoinâs Long-Term Potential
With Bakkt alleged to shake up the industry in Q4 of this year, not to mention Bitcoinâs halving in May 2020, the leading cryptocurrency has bullish momentum building even on longer timeframes. However, the security of the network is really whatâs driving this strong support at the $10,000 levelâBitcoinâs hash rate has gone âparabolicâ in the last month and is up some 30%.
If the head and shoulders bottom formation ends up being true, we will likely see Bitcoin break upward past the $11,000 price point. So, if you are a long-term investor, it would be smart to accumulate in this zone before the next leg up.
