Bitcoin Price| Tradingview
From June 5th to July 7th, Bitcoin price experienced a steady correction where its value plunged from $71949 to $53550 registering a loss of 25.57%. The downward pressure was bolstered by a mix of negative developments such as the aggressive outflow from BTC ETFs, and Bitcoin liquidation from the fallen Mt. Gox exchange, the U.S. and German governments’ sell-offs.
The selling pressure has recently eased since the second week of July as Bitcoin (BTC) found strong support at the $53,500 level, which aligns with the lower trendline of a broadening wedge pattern. In theory, the two divergence trendlines are a sign of increasing uncertainty among market participants and a risk of prolonged downfall.
However, a bearish breakdown from the lower trendline is needed to fulfill the bearish thesis.
A recent reversal from $53500 has uplifted the asset 9.8% to trade at $58800 while the market cap surged to $1.159 Trillion.
If the pattern holds true, the Bitcoin price prediction hints at a potential upswing of 18% to challenge the overhead trendline.
