Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC/USD inverse H&S pattern, is a rally to $10,000 imminent? – Confluence Detector

  • Bitcoin price spiraling towards $9,200 support after $9,400 and $9,300 caved in.
  • The formed H&S pattern is Bitcoin’s remaining ticket to $10,000 but where is the volume?

Bitcoin price continues to suffer under the strong arm of the bears. The rejection from $9,600 seems unstoppable until Bitcoin returns to $9,000. Thursday’s support above $9,400 failed to hold, leaving a gap that has been explored by the bears. Bitcoin has slipped under $9,300 (the Asian session support). At the moment, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is trading at $9,270.

The 1-hour chart shows Bitcoin trading under the moving averages. The 100 SMA is holding the position at $9,394 while the 50 SMA is currently at $9,415. The dive under $9,300 is likely to have rejuvenated the seller’s energy because Bitcoin continues to fall towards $9,200.

The inverse head and shoulders bullish scenario

Although the bulls in the market are enduring yet another battering this week, hope is not lost. The formation of the head and shoulders (H&S) pattern as observed from the chart shows that Bitcoin could soon reverse the trend massively towards $10,000. H&S pattern is usually useful in technical analysis to predict reversals from downtrends. In this case, a bounce is expected at $9,200, leading towards the psychological $10,000.
