John Bollinger Predicts More Bitcoin (BTC) Consolidation Ahead

by

As an experienced financial analyst, I have closely monitored the cryptocurrency market, particularly Bitcoin, for several years. Based on my analysis of the current situation and the insights shared by renowned trader John Bollinger, I believe that Bitcoin’s price consolidation is set to continue.

With just a few days left in the week, it seems that some investors’ hopes for significant price increases in Bitcoin (BTC) may not materialize. The cryptocurrency has continued to move within a narrow range, reaching a low of $60,612.59 during the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin Price Consolidation To Continue

John Bollinger, the inventor of the Bollinger Bands indicator, shares his perspective on Bitcoin’s price action. He has closely monitored Bitcoin’s performance in the past. Recently, Bollinger noted that Bitcoin failed to rebound following a two-bar reversal at the lower limit of the Bollinger Band. Based on this observation, he anticipates further consolidation in Bitcoin’s price movement.

After a Two-Bar Reversal at Bitcoin’s lower Bollinger Band, there might be less price volatility and more stability in the near term.

Based on Bitcoin’s recent price trends, it seems plausible that the projections will hold true. Currently, Bitcoin is being traded at $60,726.66, representing a 1.78% decrease in value over the past 24 hours. This month has proven to be particularly volatile for Bitcoin in 2021.

According to Cryptorank’s statistics, the value of the cryptocurrency has dropped by 10.1% since the beginning of the month. Except for April, it has ended every month this year with a bullish trend. However, John Bollinger’s outlook suggests that Bitcoin’s attempt to surpass the significant resistance level above $62,000 in May is unlikely.

As a researcher studying financial markets, I’ve discovered that Bollinger Bands don’t provide an exact forecast for when a trend will reverse. However, they offer valuable perspectives on market behavior. For instance, currently, Bitcoin appears to be experiencing overselling, as indicated by the bands.

As a crypto investor, I believe the ongoing selloff in Bitcoin is primarily driven by the volatile spot Bitcoin ETF market. Different ETF issuers have experienced varying amounts of outflows at distinct points in time. Consequently, it was almost unavoidable for the retail market to experience a drawdown as well.

Recovery Requires Unusual Catalyst

In simpler terms, Bitcoin continues to have a strong influence over the digital currency market. Nevertheless, several alternative coins (altcoins) are currently breaking free from Bitcoin’s price trends.

Among the digital currencies in this category is Toncoin (TON). After a brief spell of stability, Toncoin has seen a significant surge of over 18% growth during this month. One notable distinction between Toncoin and Bitcoin lies in the rapidly expanding gaming sector on The Open Network.

To help Bitcoin’s price bounce back and surge past current levels, a significant push is necessary. This could occur when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gives the green light for the trading of a spot Ethereum Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF).
