Bitcoin (BTC) Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Ethereum (ETH) Litecoin (LTC) Technical Analysis – Inverted Pennants Resolve To The Upside
Two (2) days ago we brought readers attention to the numerous inverted Pennant formations that were developing throughout the cryptocurrency universe with a focus on a handful of names due to time and space constraints, whereby we stated the following, “we’re starting to see numerous names, both large-cap as well as some of the Altcoins, beginning to carve-out inverted pennant formations as we can observe from the charts below.
Although such formations remain in development and have as of yet to break either topside or to the downside, it’s evident that the formation of such pattern continues to tightly coil where we suspect that it’s only a matter of time before these pennants witness resolution,” which has now come to pass.
We also went on to note, “both investors/traders may want to continue to monitor the action of the here-and-now, which is suggestive that we are going to witness a resolution in one direction or the other in the days ahead.
While we suspect that resolution favors a breach out of the pennants to the downside, as investors/traders, we must always defer to the action of the market itself and leave our biases at the door and be prepared for any and all potential outcomes via proper risk management mitigation measures,” whereby our suspicions were unfounded and proved to be wrong as the Pennants resolved to the upside.
Now that the formation has resolved, let’s take a glance at the short-term 4H charts below to see where we may be headed in the days forthcoming.
As we can observe above, BTC; BCH; ETH as well as LTC have all broken topside out of their inverted Pennant formations. In addition, all four (4) remain in decent shape technically from a short-term perspective, where both investors/traders may witness/enjoy additional gains- ‘follow-through’ in the days ahead.
While the short-term may be suggestive of further gains ahead in order to work off the oversold conditions, we must remember that the primary trend remains lower, evidenced via the year-to-date (YTD) and 1Yr Daily charts, whereby the aforementioned all remain below their 20/50 and 200-day moving averages confirming the overall downtrend.
Thus, while we suspect that we may indeed witness a bit more upside moving forward, we remain cautious as hefty resistance looms above.
BTC – Potential resistance resides at R1 6900; R2 7040-50; R3 7260, while potential support can be found at S1 6425 and S2 6000.
BCH – Potential resistance resides at R1 986; R2 1045-1085; R3 1150-1170, while potential support can be found at S1 800-840 and S2 715-750 Zone.
ETH – Potential resistance resides at R1 550; R2 575-600; R3 625-630, while potential support can be found at S1 480-490 and S2 440-450.
LTC – Potential resistance resides at R1 103; R2 109-112; R3 117-125, while potential support can be found at S1 89-92 and S2 80-85.
The following levels noted above may be utilized as guides as well as providing evidence/clues with respect to the direction moving forward. Risk management remains the name of the game!

Bitcoin price dumped hard on Monday, briefly slipping below $41,000, erasing gains recorded in the previous week. The premier cryptocurrency seems to have exhausted its recent rally propelled by industry vulnerabilities. At the time of writing, the world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading slightly lower at $41,385. Bitcoin’s total market cap has dipped by 2% over the past day, while the total volume of BTC tokens traded over the same period climbed by 58%.
Fundamentals
Bitcoin price has been facing retracements and a rollercoaster over the past few days after recently rocketing to a 20-month peak. On-chain data has suggested that many investors used the opportunity to take some profits, leading to a decline in the asset’s price.
Bitcoin’s price slump is mirrored in the wider crypto market, with the global crypto market cap decreasing by 1.85% over the past 24 hours to $1.55 trillion. The total crypto market volume has increased by 32% over the same period. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index has plunged from a level of extreme greed to a greed level of 70, suggesting a decline in risk appetite.
Ethereum, the largest altcoin by market capitalization, is currently trading at $2,167, down almost 3% for the day. Meme coins have been hit hard by the market slump, with Dogecoin and Shiba Inu down by more than 4% over the last day.
Last week on Thursday, cryptocurrency experts took notice of…
Bitcoin price edged lower on Thursday despite optimism in wider markets on the back of the Fed’s interest rate decision. The flagship cryptocurrency has been consolidating above the critical level of $42,000 after briefly topping $44,000, its highest level in 20 months. Bitcoin was trading 0.71% lower at $42,569 at press time. BTC’s total market cap has increased by more than 3% over the last day to $832 billion, while the total volume of the asset traded over the same period jumped by 22%.
Economic Outlook
Bitcoin price has been trading sideways over the past few days, suggesting a pause in its recent rally towards $45,000. The premier cryptocurrency has decreased by 4% in the past week but remains 15.22% higher in the month to date. The digital asset has staged a significant recovery this year after a torrid 2022 in which a string of scandals, including the collapse of FTX, led to a market meltdown, undermining the credibility of the sector.
The crypto market has been buoyed by the Fed’s latest interest rate decision. The US Federal Reserve on Wednesday held its key interest rate unchanged for the third consecutive time, in line with market expectations. With the easing of the inflation rate, members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted to keep the benchmark overnight borrowing rate in a targeted range between 5.25%-5.5%.
Additionally, the central bank indicated that three rate…
Bitcoin price has been hovering above the $43,000 psychological level over the past two days amid anticipation about the potential approval of a spot bitcoin ETF. The flagship cryptocurrency has climbed more than 16% in the past week and nearly 170% in the year to date. Bitcoin’s total market cap has increased by nearly 5% over the past 24 hours to $858.9 billion, while the total volume of the token traded rose by 43%. The Bitcoin price was trading at $43,914 at press time.
Fundamentals
Bitcoin price has posted significant gains over the past few days, climbing to its highest level since April 2022, before the crash of a stablecoin that started a litany of company failures, pummeling crypto prices. The world’s largest cryptocurrency briefly topped the crucial level of $44,000 on Wednesday amid rising momentum despite being massively overbought.
According to analysts, with no spot bitcoin ETF approvals yet and the halving event five to six months away, the market is riding on FOMO. Capital has been flowing in the Bitcoin market amid enthusiasm that the launches of spot ETF will bring in billions of dollars of new investment into the crypto sector.
Investors have already started providing capital as seed money for ETF products. Notably, a recent report by CoinDesk showed that the world’s largest fund manager, BlackRock, received $100,000 in capital from a seed investor for its spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund…
