In this line, a crypto trading expert by the pseudonymous Goldenbreakout on TradingView pointed out that after weeks of sideway trading pattern, Bitcoin’s last all-time high of almost $69,000 began building momentum after the asset hit the $9,000 level. The position was observed in July 2020. At the same time, as Bitcoin currently exhibits a sideway pattern, the analyst noted that BTC could form a similar trendline to the last bull run but will need to correct further to $9,000. According to the expert, Bitcoin undergoing a free fall will result in new volume exiting the asset before offering room for investors to enter the market. Indeed, suppose the $9,000 position is a crucial foundation for Bitcoin to rally; investors will likely need to brace for more pain in the coming weeks. Notably, Bitcoin had attempted to rally in the wake of the positive macroeconomic factors. However, the asset failed to hold the gains.
