Bitcoin’s Long-Term Chart Is Extremely Bullish

A few weeks ago, the long-term chart of Bitcoin saw an extremely bullish sign from a macro perspective. The 50-week and 100-week SMAs saw a crossover, with the 50-week SMA crossing over the 100-week SMA. This means that the bulls are in control of the long-term trend of the digital currency. The last time this trend was seen was in mid-2016, before the parabolic rally that brought the price of BTC to almost $20k from $500 in a year and a few months later.

Bitcoin Futures Interest Is On the Rise

Over the past couple of months, the derivatives of BTC on different trading platforms have started to see a considerable increase in trading volume and open interest. This signifies an increase in investment activity from institutions. Many analysts believe that institutional inflows will be a driving force behind the next bull market.

Bitcoin’s Chart Is Painting Bull Flag

The chart of Bitcoin (BTC) is painting a massive bull flag, which many believe have a higher chance of breaking to the upside. If the bull flag breaks higher, it is more likely that the price of BTC would surge and break over the $10k level, which would pave the way for BTC to return to its previous all-time highs.

Strong Buying Pressure under $7k

The crypto analyst also pointed out that there is strong buying pressure under the $7k level. This indicates that there is strong long-term buying interest in the $6k range and that is a level in which Bitcoin should find a macro bottom.

Furthermore, Bakkt – the Intercontinental Exchange, Microsoft-backed digital currency infrastructure upstart and trading platform, and Starbucks, – recently launched its regulated BTC futures contracts. According to the analyst, this is a bullish fact that should have a positive impact on the market in the coming years. However, other analysts also believe that the futures of Bakkt and other derivatives like it would act as a catalyst for the next market rally.
