Bitcoin Holds Key Level, Ready to Head Higher
Trader Byzantine General that Bitcoin’s chart is shaping up to be even more bullish than it was yesterday. Following Saturday’s strong close in the $9,300 region, the analyst remarked that as the Kijun line of the Ichimoku Cloud held, he believes that “the chart is as bullish as it gets.”

Not Off the Table
There is a confluence of technical factors that back the idea that Bitcoin will continue to rocket higher into next week.
As reported by NewsBTC on Saturday, CryptoHamster recently observed that Bitcoin is still looking bullish on higher time frames. They recently posted the chart below, which shows that Bitcoin’s current one-week Heikin-Ashi candle has two tall wicks on either side and a skinny green body. For those not versed in technical analysis, this implies a “potential trend reversal.”
That’s not all. The same analyst later noted that the weekly Fisher Transform indicator, which highlights when prices have moved to an extreme to try and signal buying and selling opportunities, has recently printed a bullish crossover at the -2.5 level. CryptoHamster notes that “this signal is rarely false,” and thus strongly implies a resumption of Bitcoin price’s long-term uptrend.
Weekly Fisher transform indicator made a bullish crossover at the level -2.5!
This signal is rarely false (still happened before though).— CryptoHamster (@CryptoHamsterIO)
And to put a cherry on the cryptocurrency cake, trader CryptoBuzz the fact that Bitcoin held its 100-week moving average is a likely sign that the recent move is a “breakout that should initiate a long-term bull market.”
