A crypto-asset analyst shared the chart below on October 27th. It shows that Bitcoin’s ongoing rally has brought it above a pivotal technical pattern: a macro flag.
It also brings the cryptocurrency above the $12,000 resistance, which has acted as a point at which multiple rallies have topped on a weekly basis. The coin traded above the $12,000 resistance on a weekly basis, which marked the highest weekly close since January 2018.
As a result of the technical significance of this move, the trader branded this the “most important breakout in BTC history.”
The trader also noted that the cryptocurrency’s recent price action looks similar to that of late 2015 and early 2016. That was when the cryptocurrency began its last exponential rally.
This trader isn’t the only one that thinks Bitcoin’s recent price action is pivotal for the technicals of the asset.
One analyst said that Bitcoin’s weekly close above the “strong resistance” of $12,000 suggests the sky is the limit. As reported by Bitcoinist previously, the analyst wrote on the matter:
“keeping it simple here with $btc, the weekly chart looks phenominal. now firmly above all downtrends from the 2017 20k top and this week just closed on its highs above key 12.5k resistance. the sky is the limit now imo, and this market is not for shorting!”
There are some reasons to be concerned in the near term, though.
Analysts have noted that the cryptocurrency is likely overbought in the near term. For one, the Stochastic RSI, which tracks if an asset is overbought or oversold, is likely trading in an overbought region. Not to mention, some have suggested that there is a strong emphasis on long positions in the CME futures market.
