History is fond of repeating itself in the crypto space, and analysts see Bitcoin (BTC)’s past trend as a recipe for predicting what future holds for the coin and the entire crypto market since most altcoins rely on Bitcoin.
A recap of a past event made by analyst Josh Rager signals that Bitcoin is driving toward a break out of bear that will present 2 year long term trend along the rising wedge.
As far as we know, the bear was in control of the market in most part of the year 2018. However, for this year, Bitcoin and some other altcoins are already struggling against the bear for a break out of the dip.
While Bitcoin seems to be maintaining a stable rise above the $5,000 support level in the past few weeks with a relentless drift upward, market experts including investors have started eyeing a golden cross that will take Bitcoin back above $10,000.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA), also known as exponentially weighted moving average, is a remarkable tool used by reputable analysts in making long term market prediction based on recent price changes.
While traders make use of different EMA days, the 3 days consistent uptrend maintained by Bitcoin has just pushed the crypto coin above the 200 EMA.
Since early 2018, Bitcoin has been under the control of bear. Even though there are slight retests, the 5-year market data indicates that Bitcoin, in the long term, is still under the dominance of bear.
According to the 3-day chart, Bitcoins is bullish, even though it is a short-term bullish rally.
