Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price action lingering near its highest levels since mid-April.

While still below both 2024 and 2021 all-time highs, Bitcoin nonetheless excited market observers, with popular pseudonymous trader Moustache highlighting two trendlines in particular.


“Golden Cross (12h-Chart) of $BTC is imminent,” he told followers in part of one of his latest posts on X (formerly Twitter).


A golden cross occurs when a shorter-term moving average crosses above a longer-term equivalent, with the last occurrence in October last year — just before Bitcoin put in the bulk of its latest gains.


“The last bullish cross was over six months ago. Bitcoin has risen by over 170% since then,” Moustache added.BTC/USD with golden cross events. Source: Moustache/X


Fellow trader Titan of Crypto suggested that the Ichimoku Cloud indicator may copy the trend.


“BTC seems to be repeating the same pattern from early 2024,” part of an X post read on May 16, adding that BTC/USD put in upside of more than 60% when Ichimoku requirements were last met.Source: Titan of CryptoIchimoku Cloud reinforces $60,000 BTC price support


Continuing, Titan of Crypto was among those noting a transfer of $60,000 from resistance to support.

As Cointelegraph reported, that area contains various bull market trendlines, all now converging in one place.


Among them are the short-term holder realized price and the 100-day moving average, the latter rising swiftly and now above $62,000.


“BTC is perfectly flipping previous resistance into support,” Titan of Crypto summarized alongside an Ichimoku chart.BTC/USD chart with Ichimoku data. Source: Titan of Crypto/X
