Here’s what past moments of indecision say about the current market cycle, and what could come next depending on which side of the trade gains control over the next month in Bitcoin.

Stalemate Between Bulls And Bears Results In Sideways Action

From the local top to the recent bottom, Bitcoin has collapse by nearly 60% and its only taken three months in full. Q2 2021 is now destined to be the bloodiest on record, with May nearly breaking records for the worst monthly drop ever.

Despite the violent drawdown, the cryptocurrency bull market still could very well still be on. The market knows this, so investors and traders are still cautiously buying the dip.

The miss of the higher, dotted trendline on the RSI could suggest another push higher is still possible, however, falling so deep out of the bull zone isn’t good for Bitcoin. At the same time, the Parabolic SAR has been tagged suggesting a major trend change, and the LMACD has begun to turn downward.

The LMACD hasn’t yet crossed bearish yet, and ahead of any cross happening bulls could push another wave higher. The histogram on the monthly MACD also hasn’t switched red just yet, which could prevent further downside if the green bars grow again.

Bitcoin And The Red Doji: What Could Come Following This Monthly Close
