The Leading Cryptocurrency by Market Value Appears on Track to Confirm A “Golden Cross” in the Coming Days, accounting to charting platform Tradingview. The pattern Occursy of the 50-Day Simple MOVING AVERAGE (SMA) of Prices Crosses Above the 200-Day Sma to Suggest That The Short-Trem Trend Is Outperming The Broad. Major Bull Run.

The MOVING AVERAGE-BASED GOLDEN CROSS HAS A MIXED RECORD OF PREDICTING PRICE TRICE. The Impening One, However, Is Worth Noting Because It’s About to Occur Weeks After Its Ominous-Sounding Opposite, The Death Cross, Traped Bears on the Wrong Side of the Market.

The chart on the left shows that btc bottomed out at around $ 50,000 in Early August Last Year as the 50-Day Sma MOVED BELOW The 200-Day Sma to Confirm The Death Cross.

In Other Words, The Death Cross Was A Bear Trap, Much Like The One in Early April this year. Prices Turned Higher in Subsequent Weeks, Eventuelly Beginning A New Uptrend After The Appearance of the Golden Cross in Late October 2024.

The Bullish Sequance is Being Repeated Since Early April, and Prices Could Begin The Next Leg Higher Following the Confirmation of the Golden Cross in the Coming Days.

PAST PERFORANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE Results, and Technical Patterns Do not Always Deliver as Expectored. That said, macro factors seem aligned with the Bullish Technical Setup.
