Bitcoin price seems to have found its stable footing at $29,100 after a recent flash crash below it. This quick recovery and retest will be a testament to the bulls’ power and determine the next course of action for BTC.
Bitcoin price created a bearish continuation pattern known as a bear flag between November 2021 and April 2022. After a brief consolidation in late April, BTC triggered a breakout from the setup, triggering a massive sell-off.
The pattern contains a massive downswing known as “flagpole” followed by a consolidation phase known as “flag.” A breakout from this coiling-up often results in the price continuing its descent, which is why the setup is referred to as the continuation pattern.
This technical formation forecasts a 46% downswing, determined by adding the flagpole’s height to the breakout point. On April 22, BTC breached the flag’s lower trend line at $40,032, forecasting a target of $21,584.
So far, the post-FOMC volatility combined with the LUNA-UST debacle has stirred the market and caused it to crash violently. As a result, BTC dropped to $25,333, taking altcoins with it. However, the recovery of Bitcoin price seems to be going well as it is back above the $29,100 support level.
If bulls can manage a successful retest, it will reveal that a further uptrend is likely. In such a case, investors can expect a move to $35,100. This uptrend would constitute a total of 17% gain and is likely where the upside is capped.
