BTC futures have been consolidating for the last four trading sessions in the same area it had done so in the beginning of March, right before BTC plummeted $5,000 to the yearly lows only seven days later. The level we had resistance at before this year’s crash is the same level we have resistance currently as well.

This is a question I had hoped would be answered after both the S&P 500 (along with all other major indexes) and BTC futures began a deep correction at the end of February due to the growing covid-19 pandemic.

My readers or anyone who follows Bitcoin’s price action closely would know that last week and then again this week BTC broke out of formations that had defined price action for the first four months of 2020. But initiating a long or short position solely off of these formations is not recommended. That is why they must be used in conjunction with other indicators for them to be tradeable.

So today I will cover the other indicators and signals that flashed “BUY BTC!”  As early as two weeks ago when on April 22nd Bitcoin futures broke out of the compression triangle spanning the entire range of 2020 up until that point when we had a clear and decisive breakout to the upside.

Just as we spoke about yesterday BTC was caught in a compression triangle all week very visible on a four hour candlestick chart and was poised to break out today are initial target was $8,000 - $8,200 but as you can see there were a number of key price points that were holding BTC back since its most recent fall such as the pennant formation highlighted in our first chart.
