Based on historical chart patterns, they are eyeing the next price breakout.Was the 25% Bitcoin price drawdown a bear trap? 


A bear trap is a form of coordinated but controlled selling that creates a temporary dip in an asset’s price. It typically comprises a significant correction during a long-term uptrend.


The latest correction may have been a bear trap or a shake-out, according to pseudonymous crypto analyst Sensei, who wrote in an Aug. 8 X post:“So, that was a shake-out or a Bear trap?”Bitcoin bear trap. Source: Sensei/X


Moreover, Bitcoin fractals point to the imminent start of Bitcoin’s parabolic phase, noted Sensei in an Aug. 6 X post.Bitcoin fractals. Source: Sensei/X


Fractal patterns are used by technical traders to identify key support and resistance levels and potential trend reversals based on historical data.

Despite fractal patterns signaling a local bottom, Bitcoin’s daily trend could still turn negative, according to Aurelie Barthere, principal research analyst at Nansen onchain analytics platform.


The analyst told Cointelegraph, sharing the below chart:“Local bottoms, yes, but the daily trend in BTC (and Ether) still looks negative: The 50-day moving average is about to cross below the 200-day moving average (see attachment 1 on BTC; the red line is about to cross below the green line).”BTC/USD, 1-day chart.

Bitcoin’s next significant resistance to cross is at $62,000 before a chance to breach $70,000 and tackle the all-time high above, according to Barthere.


The analyst told Cointelegraph:“BTC needs to hold above $62,000. The other threshold of resistance is $70,000–$71,000 or the all-time high. Psychologically, a few traders have been hurt by the March and July sell-offs, and this might be a very difficult threshold to cross.”


Bitcoin faces significant resistance at $61,500 and $62,000. A rally above $62,000 would liquidate $845 million worth of cumulative leveraged short positions, according to CoinGlass data.Bitcoin Exchange Liquidation Map. Source: CoinGlass
