Bitcoin price<\/a> action over the weekend has been a virtual nail biter. The leading crypto by market cap, teetered on the edge of support for much of the weekend as bulls were able to successfully defend bears from pushing the price to retest lows at $9,200.<\/p>\n

But despite the valiant effort from bulls, bears were able close the weekly candle red at roughly $10,140. The weekly candle closing red is the second red weekly close in a row, marking the first time this has occurred since Bitcoin price left its bear market bottom behind and the bull run first began.<\/p>\n

Two Consecutive Red Weekly Candles: What Does This Mean for Bitcoin Price?<\/h2>\n

Since the start of February, only 9 out of 29 weekly candles have closed red. Unless you\u2019re color blind, it\u2019s easy to see that Bitcoin price<\/a> action has been driven heavily by bulls. However, the first sign that bears may be taking over can been seen on weekly price charts.<\/p>\n

Last night, Bitcoin price closed at roughly $10,140 on Coinbase<\/a>, making it the second weekly consecutive candle close that\u2019s red. The two back-to-back weekly closes are significant as it is the first consecutive weekly red candle close since the bull run first began back in April.<\/p>\n

Before the two red weeks in late January, the other time Bitcoin price closed two red candles in a row prior to it, was at the December 2018 bottom. Could two consecutive weekly red candle closes signal that a top is in?<\/p>\n

The weekly MACD has also recently turned bearish for the first time since the bottom was set and Bitcoin went on yet another parabolic rally. Bitcoin price in 2019 has rallied from lows around $3,000 to highs around $14,000, and has since been consolidating or possibly correcting.<\/p>\n

Bulls haven\u2019t thrown in the towel just yet, either. Following the red candle close was an immediate over $500 price spike on most exchanges, liquidating over $52 million in \u201clate shorters\u201d on margin trading exchange BitMEX – an exchange currently under investigation by the CFTC.<\/p>\n
