According to the movements observed on the Bitcoin chart in recent days, the price is showing a reversal signal: Will the double bottom formed in Bitcoin trigger the rise?

Double Bottom Formation Observed on Bitcoin Chart

In recent days, Bitcoin has shown a potential reversal sign by forming three consecutive green daily candles. Such a formation was last observed in early July, and it led Bitcoin from just below $25,000 to above $31,000 from mid-June to the end of June. This change in price dynamics signaled a shift in market sentiment, slowly transitioning from a bearish outlook to a more bullish one.

Bitcoin has currently surpassed the double bottom confirmation on the weekly chart, but this price movement has sparked discussions among analysts about the possibility of Bitcoin forming a double top, which is a significant technical indicator.

The double bottom is a classic technical analysis formation that indicates a potential trend reversal from a downtrend to an uptrend in markets. This pattern is characterized by two distinct troughs or low points in the price chart, with a peak or a small high point between them. The pattern resembles the letter “W,” with the first trough representing a clear low point, followed by a temporary rise and usually a second trough near the same price level as the first one. A valid double bottom is confirmed when the price breaks above the peak or resistance level between the two troughs, signaling a potential upward trend reversal.

Rekt Capital, a renowned crypto analyst, recently shared views suggesting that Bitcoin’s current price pattern on the weekly chart resembles a double top, which typically indicates a bearish reversal. This pattern is characterized by an ‘M’ shape. However, for this to be confirmed, the price would need to drop below the $26,000 support level. As of the time of writing, Bitcoin has managed to surpass the double top confirmation, trading at $26,440.

On the other hand, the double bottom formation, forming a ‘W’ shape, would require Bitcoin to recover from the $26,000 level. Rekt Capital tweeted today, “Could this BTC Double Top actually be a Double Bottom? Yes. But for BTC to form a Double Bottom, it needs to bounce back from $26,000 and rise to $30,600 (this is the confirmation point).”

Rekt Capital also highlighted the uncertainties around the $26,000 support level and numerous overlapping resistances that could hinder the completion of the double bottom formation. Emphasizing the significance of the $26,000 level, Rekt Capital stated, “It looks like BTC may be choosing the ‘relief rally’ route to potentially flip the old support into new resistance. The Black Monthly level (~$27,200) also roughly converges with the Bull Market support band.”

Moreover, by pointing out Bitcoin’s last bearish monthly candle closing in August, Rekt Capital highlighted that Bitcoin closed below approximately $27,150, indicating that Bitcoin’s current price movement could be merely a relief rally before dropping to the $23,000 region without confirming $27,150 as a new resistance. The analyst also noted, “A recovery to ~$27,150 is possible for BTC, maybe even more upside beyond that in September. […] The next significant Monthly support is ~$23,000 since ~$27,150 has been lost.”

More Resistance Levels for BTC Price

Therefore, for Bitcoin to confirm the double bottom pattern, bulls need to surpass not only the significant resistance level at $27,150 but also other key resistance levels, with the next major one being at $30,600.

CryptoQuant, an on-chain analysis firm, often highlights the role of short-term Bitcoin holders providing liquidity in significant price movements. According to data, these holders’ profit-taking points are between $27,500 and $29,000. If Bitcoin stays below these levels for an extended period, it may incentivize these holders to sell, exerting downward pressure on the price.

In the 4-hour time frame, Bitcoin faces three main resistance levels to overcome: $26,857 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement level), $27,365 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement level), and $28,186 (Grayscale’s high level from August 29).
