Bitcoin (BTC) value continues to develop week in and week out, as one other 9% has been added to its worth since final Sunday.
Nevertheless, with the block reward halving being simply over two weeks away, and mining problem set to extend one other 5% in little over every week, is the bull market now upon us? Or will the halving be one other non-event very like different overvalued narratives like Bakkt, institutional cash coming into, or the VanEck Bitcoin ETF?
At present, I wish to have a look at a few completely different situations that I’m anticipating within the week forward.

Looking again eventually Sunday’s evaluation, I shared two potential outcomes I used to be taking a look at. The inevitable path to zero versus the gradual bullish grind to $10Ok.
As will be seen from the every day chart above, Bitcoin is following the inexperienced path and is presently sitting on the prime of the ascending channel. As such, it is affordable to anticipate that ought to the gradual and regular upward path proceed, we’re due for a small pullback to one of many two value ranges.
The channel’s shifting common is round $7,300. Or, ought to this fail, the assist of this channel sits round $6,600. Holding both of those ranges will nonetheless firmly plant $8,000 as an affordable goal to anticipate by this time subsequent week.
Nevertheless, this ascending channel was drawn to replicate a continuation of the pre-bull lure value motion. As such, there’s one other situation that might be taking part in out, which vegetation $10Ok Bitcoin as a goal as early as subsequent week.

On this channel, it vegetation the present value about $500 above the assist of $7,120. This is able to put overhead resistance first on the shifting common of $8,440 after which as excessive as $9,800.
As such, watching each of those situations to see which is first invalidated might give us a clearer image of the place the Bitcoin value might shut by the tip of the week, and $10,000 is totally potential ought to this play out.
Both means, I’m leaning in direction of the upside, as tomorrow ought to see the a lot anticipated bullish crossover on the weekly shifting common divergence convergence (MACD) indicator.
The weekly MACD indicator appears to be like set to cross bullish in every week from tomorrow.
MACD’s most dependable sign

I’m certain common readers of my evaluation are conversant in my views on the weekly MACD indicator, however I nonetheless wish to recap after I point out it. The MACD line is about to cross bullishly by means of the sign line tomorrow. That is sometimes adopted by an influence transfer from the king of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin.
In March 2017, when the weekly BTC candle opened at $971, ushering in a bullish supercycle that noticed the value prime out after a powerful 2,000% rally to $20Ok in simply over 9 months. The MACD then signaled the beginning of the good crypto winter in January 2018 with a bearish cross.
On February 4, 2019, the MACD was at it once more, with one other bullish cross that led to a different monster leg up some 400% earlier than signaling a bear development in August 2019.
Thus, in the event you solely traded Bitcoin primarily based on the weekly MACD crossing, you’d be thought of a genius. Subsequently, after I see a bullish cross on the desk, I get excited concerning the subsequent potential transfer for Bitcoin.
Is a Bitcoin breakout Imminent?

Lastly, on this week’s evaluation, the decrease time frames such because the 1-hour chart for Bitcoin are additionally signaling {that a} breakout is imminent.
After Bitcoin’s 10% leap on April 23, BTC/USD has spent three days consolidating, attributable to shopping for demand matching the promoting stress. As this continues, it units the stage for a breakout within the subsequent 24 to 48 hours, significantly if the hourly candle closes above $7,700, anticipate $8K as the subsequent degree of resistance. This opens the door to $9,800 earlier than the tip of the week.
Conversely, if assist fails at $7,550, the subsequent shopping for alternative needs to be between $7,120-$7,300.
