Bitcoin Price Just Flashed A Death Cross, But It’s Not What You Think

Crypto analyst Colin has revealed that the Bitcoin price has flashed a death cross, which he noted was bullish for the flagship crypto. This comes amid BTC’s recent decline, which has erased all its year-to-date (YTD) gains. 

Bitcoin Price Flashes Death Cross, Marking Potential Bottom

In an X post, Colin stated that a death cross just flashed for the Bitcoin price, with the “ironically” bullish indicator triggering at the same time that BTC tagged the lower boundary of its megaphone pattern. The analyst noted that this is a bullish setup from this point forward, as the death cross often marks bottoms. He indicated that this is likely the bottom, as BTC has ended at the lower end of the megaphone pattern channel. 

Colin remarked that these factors combined indicate a high likelihood of a move up for the Bitcoin price from its current level. He added that a bounce is likely in the short term. However, the analyst noted that the bigger question is whether this would be a bounce to new all-time highs (ATHs) or just a relief rally on the way down in a bear market. Regardless of what happens, he is optimistic that an upward move will occur in the short term. 

Colin also alluded to the fact that the Federal Reserve will end quantitative tightening (QT) by December, a move which he described as another bullish catalyst for the Bitcoin price. This move is expected to inject more liquidity into the BTC and possibly spark higher prices for the flagship crypto. The Fed could also cut rates again at the December FOMC meeting, which would be a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin. 

Another Analyst Confirms Death Cross

Popular crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen also confirmed that the Bitcoin price just had a death cross. He noted that prior death crosses have marked local lows in the market. However, he added that the death cross rally fails when the cycle is over, which could be the case this time if the bull market is over. 

Cowen stated that the time for the Bitcoin price to bounce if the cycle is not over would start within the next week. The analyst further remarked that if no bounce occurs within one week, another dump is likely before a larger rally back to the 200D SMA, which he claimed would mark a macro lower high. Meanwhile, market analyst Subu Trade shared data on how BTC has reacted after historical death crosses. The last death cross occurred in April this year, and the flagship crypto recorded a 22% gain following it. 

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $95,100, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
