Ciaran Lyons6 hours agoBitcoin crosses $66K as traders eye 2 key indicators for $70K targetThe Gann Fanns model and an emerging inverse head-and-shoulders pattern are at the top of traders’ minds as they try to determine whether Bitcoin can “bounce” above its all-time high.4670 Total views7 Total sharesListen to article 0:00Markets NewsOwn this piece of crypto historyCollect this article as NFTJoin us on social networksBitcoin jumped 7.54% in the past 24 hours and pushed past $65,000 amid positive United States inflation data, with traders now keeping an eye on two key indicators for a potential rise to $70,000.


Pseudonymous crypto trader Blockchain Mane told Cointelegraph they are closely observing the Gann Fans model — a key indicator that analyzes the geometric and cyclical movement of the crypto market to see if Bitcoin (BTC) can “remain bullish.”


“Gann Fans are interesting, almost like a time and price momentum indicator,” they said, explaining it helps to better visualize the market cycles and price action.The Gann square consists of a 5x5 grid, with column one being the start of the cycle. Source: Blockchain Mane


“In terms of Gann timing, we are at a pivot in the market cycle, directly in the center of the current square. if we pivot to the upside, then we can see a markup phase until the end of May,” they explained.


However, they warned, “if we lose this break then we will probably see the sideways, downtrend continuation until the end of May.”


The pattern has stood out to the Blockchain Mane on the same day that core inflation fell to 3.6% — its lowest level since 2021 — potentially strengthening the case for interest rate cuts.

They would rather see “sideway price action” here while more narratives build up. Otherwise, they claim it may hinder the potential for altcoins to gain:“If BTC pumps here and gets rejected, Alts will probably get hammered as Bitcoin’s dominance continues to rise, Alts are becoming more and more glued to BTC price action.”


Bitcoin’s market cap dominance — the ratio of Bitcoin’s market cap vs. the total market cap of all other cryptocurrencies — has risen by 2.23% to 55.99% over the past seven days, according to TradingView data.

Meanwhile, the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern — a bullish indicator signaling the downtrend is easing and buyers are gaining market dominance — is showing that Bitcoin is due “for a bounce,” pseudonymous crypto trader Mikybull Crypto told his X followers on May 15.Source: Milkybull Crypto


The inverse head-and-shoulders pattern forms a reversal setup and includes an “inverted” head and shoulders, with the left and right shoulders upside down below the neckline. 


If the pattern continues, Bitcoin’s price could reach its next key price level of $70,000 before potentially breaking its current all-time high price of $74,580, according to Mikybull Crypto.


This would be an almost 12% jump from its current price of $66,085, according to CoinMarketCap data.
