For the past two months, the Bitcoin price has been trading sideways, resonating between two converging trendlines in the daily chart. These trendlines acting as narrowing resistance and support reveal the formation of a pennant pattern.

In theory, this technical pattern guides a temporary consolidation before the asset continues on a prevailing uptrend. The BTC price is currently trading at $63420, projecting an intraday loss of 0.51%.

If the supply pressure persists, the BTC price could tumble another 5.5% to hit the pattern’s lower trendline at $60000.

In a recent tweet, trader Alicharts pointed out a noticeable decline in Bitcoin whale activity since March 14. The provided chart illustrates a downward trend in large-value Bitcoin transactions, hinting at reduced influence from major holders. The trader suggests that a resurgence in whale transactions could be a key driver for boosting Bitcoin’s price.

If it holds, the Bitcoin price could rebound from the $60k support and continue on sideways action for a few days or weeks.

For buyers to regain control over this asset, a breakout above the upper trendline is needed which could lead the BTC price to $86400.

On a contrary note, if the coin price shows no reversal sign at the lower trendline after a few days of consolidation, the sellers could break the $60000 support, and trigger a notable correction.
