Bitcoin’s precipitous drop to $6,600 seen earlier this month caught many traders aback; nearly no one, not even the top traders and analysts, expected for that price action to play out as it did in real life. Few predicted the subsequent bounce to $7,800, where BTC sits as of the time of writing this, too.<\/p>\n
Though, one trader has been calling the moves all along, using a lesser-known and slightly unorthodox method of analysis to predict the directionality of the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n
Over the past few months, a popular trader on Twitter, NebraskanGooner<\/a>, has been touting what is known as a “fractal” via his social media pages.<\/p>\n A quick aside for those unaware of what a fractal is: a fractal, in financial markets, is when the historical price pattern or direction of an asset is reflected\/seen again on a different time frame and\/or for a different asset. While some analysts see them as pure coincidences, analyses have found that fractals can work well for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, potentially due to the inherent cyclicity of this market.<\/p>\n Nebraskan’s fractal has been extremely accurate over the past few weeks. In fact, it predicted Bitcoin’s dramatic price drop to $6,600 weeks before it took place, and the subsequent recovery to nearly $8,000 seen over the past few days.<\/p>\n The same fractal, which is an overlay of one of Bitcoin’s previous market cycles, suggests that Bitcoin’s trend line breakdown retest, which took place in the previous market cycle that is being fractaled, is complete, implying that BTC has found a local top at $7,800. Should the fractal continue to play out, BTC will head towards the $6,200-$6,300 region in the coming two-odd weeks, which would mark a drop of 20%.<\/p>\n #bitcoin<\/a><\/p>\n The all knowing fractal says the top is likely in for now.<\/p>\n Trend line breakdown retest looks completed.<\/p>\n $6,300 incoming?<\/p>\n Will be interesting to see if this continues to play out. pic.twitter.com\/Bs1xQHZdoV<\/a><\/p>\n — Nebraskangooner (@Nebraskangooner) November 29, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nRelated Reading: Dr. Doom: Ethereum Still a Long Way From $0, Its True \u201cFundamental Value\u201d<\/a><\/h6>\n
