Bitcoin has for over a week now been stuck under $60,000.A four-hour chart technical pattern has added further protection to the downside.Additionally, the Simple Moving Average (SMA) has significantly contributed to making the required support area robust enough.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $57,835, shortly after losing the support at 58,000. The flagship cryptocurrency seeks support refuge at the rectangle pattern.Classical technical aspects of this formation raise significant support and resistance areas.Traders can buy at the support and perhaps sell at the resistance or wait for a breakout above the pattern.
Note that most technical analysts consider the rectangle formation a bullish continuation.It has been shown, however, that the pattern can sometimes lead to a correction.Either way, rectangles illustrate a tug of war between the bulls and the bears and may lead to accumulation of distribution, resulting in a technical breakout or breakdown.
As for Bitcoin, if support at the rectangle’s lower limit holds, we will likely see an uptick in the price. Trading past the upper edge would pave the way for a massive continuation pattern above $60,000 and toward $64,000.
