This Chart Resistance Breakout Is Crucial To Kickstart Bitcoin Price Recovery

The Bitcoin price has been trapped between the $16300 and $16920 barrier for the last two weeks, creating a narrow range. This consolidation phase in the crypto market shaped the bitcoin price into a double-bottom pattern. This pattern displays itself as the letter W and is one of the most common technical chart patterns observed in market bottoms.

Key points

  • The area between the $16300 and $16920 mark can be considered a no-trading zone.

The Bitcoin price action forming a W letter projects that the coin has rebounded twice from the same horizontal support level ($16300) and keeps the neckline resistance($16920). Amid the recovery sentiment in the crypto market that has arisen since the beginning of 2023, the Bitcoin price rebounded from the $16300 support and rose 3.65%, and hit the $16920 barrier.

The bullish recovery backed by rising volume indicates a sustained recovery in prices. By the press time, the Bitcoin price trades at $16855 and still struggles to break the neckline resistance.

Thus, until the BTC price wavers between the mentioned level, the potential traders should avoid entering the market. 

Conversely, a daily candle closing above $16920 will trigger the bullish pattern and intensify the underlying bullish momentum. The post-breakout rally may drive the coin price 2.6% higher and surpass another resistance barrier of $17360.
