Bitcoin Weekly Candle Wicks Are Telling of Explosive Impulse Upward

Bitcoin price just exploded, setting a new higher high following last month’s plummet to below $4,000. Is this the start of a new bull market as the halving looms closer? Weekly candlesticks suggest that an explosive impulse upward is likely to occur, potentially making for the perfect pre-halving set up for a massive rally. Bitcoin Price Weekly Candlestick Wicks Changing Direction Is Telling The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing the longest stretch of extreme fear ever, according to the crypto market fear and greed index. Sentiment is so low and fearful, due to the recession, the coronavirus, and due to post-traumatic stress syndrome leftover from the catastrophic collapse on Black Thursday last month. Bitcoin price collapsed from $10,000 to under $4,000, but in less than a month the asset has doubled in value, rising from $3,800 to $7,600 today with the new high set.

The idea is that supply is slashed, causing demand to outweigh the limited supply, and price rises. Coindicing with all of this, are weekly price charts showing a switch to bullish momentum, and stimulus packages flooding the economy with excess cash for some. Some of this cash flow could make its way into cryptocurrencies, especially with Bitcoin’s having here.
