However, a retest of $74,000 in the coming weeks is possible, at least based on a maturing Wyckoff reaccumulation pattern and increasing odds of three rate cuts by 2024’s end.Bitcoin is testing key spring support


The Wyckoff reaccumulation pattern is a technical setup that identifies phases of consolidation and accumulation after a prolonged uptrend.


In this pattern, the price typically goes through nine critical phases, namely Preliminary Supply (PSY), Buying Climax (BC), Automatic Reaction (AR), Secondary Test (ST), Spring, Test, Last Point of Support (LPS) and finally, the Sign of Strength (SOS).Wyckoff re-accumulation pattern illustration


As of Aug. 4, Bitcoin had entered the "Test" phase of its Wyckoff re-accumulation pattern.


In this phase, the cryptocurrency is testing its Spring phase low—at around $53,400—as support to confirm bullish continuation toward its new Last Point of Support (LPS) at around $70,000, as shown in the chart shared by independent analyst Moustache on his X channel.Bitcoin"s Wyckoff re-accumulation pattern illustration.

According to the Wyckoff re-accumulation rule, a new uptrend cycle will begin when Bitcoin enters the ninth and final stage, called the Sign of Strength (SOS), after retesting the Wyckoff pattern"s peak level of around $74,000.


This final stage signals strong upward movement and market strength, indicating a confirmed uptrend.Three rate cuts possible in 2024 amid recession risks


Bitcoin’s price has slid 10% alongside the US stock market since Aug. 1, when the US reported unemployment claims hitting an almost one-year high and declining manufacturing activity.

Interestingly, BTC"s decline appears despite increasing odds of three rate cuts in 2024 instead of one, marking a significant departure from the trend observed over the past year, where crypto markets often welcomed weak economic data.

This decline is likely driven by rising recession alerts following the latest US jobs report.


Historically, Bitcoin has struggled during periods of heightened recession fears. For example, during the COVID-19 market crash in March 2020, Bitcoin fell in tandem with the US stock market. Bitcoin’s price began to rebound when the Federal Reserve implemented quantitative easing and rate cuts.Source: X


Numerous crypto analysts, including Michael van de Poppe, see a similar price trend in the coming weeks. In other words, Bitcoin will face recessionary risks but rebound after the Fed implements its rate cuts in September.
