Bitcoin: Green on screen, red behind the curtains?

  • BTC surging ahead in this bull rally that started last month.
  • But, there are dangers lying ahead in the form of rising wedge.

Bitcoin, the uncrowned King of cryptocurrencies has been rallying up and away in a slow and steady manner, making bulls be happy go lucky while bears find it hard to find their relevance in a bull market that started last month. But all hopes may not be lost for the bears.

BTC/USD is up nearly a percent on day at $5,712 and trading in less than 2 percent range so far. On the 720-minute chart of this largest coin by market capitalisation, it has been rallying steadily making one believe in the bull market rally. But a close look at the pattern may also reveal that there is a possibility of a rising wedge being formed on the charts - potentially bearish for the coin.

If the pattern indeed holds true to its colour, chances of a fast and ferocious red colour being spread on the price of BTC in the next few weeks, taking it potentially towards sub $5,000 mark or even towards $4,000.
