Historically, this signal has preceded major corrections, including drops of 53–70%.
Macro factors, including rate cuts and strong gold and silver, support a potentially positive Q4.
BTCUSD, after facing rejection at an intraday resistance,
has undergone a significant bearish correction and appears to have found
support around $110.4K. As of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading near this
level, with intraday traders watching price action closely to determine its
next move.
Crypto analysts have issued a warning as Bitcoin exhibits a
rare “three bars down” signal on its weekly chart. Historically, this pattern
has preceded major corrections, although current market conditions may reduce
the likelihood of a severe downturn. Traders should monitor key levels in the
coming days for potential shifts in market direction.
Analyst Issues Warning on Bitcoin
A cryptocurrency analyst, Jason Pizzino, has issued a
warning about a rare technical pattern forming on Bitcoin’s weekly chart, while
noting that current market conditions may not indicate a severe downturn.
The “Three Bars Down” Signal
The analyst highlighted the “three bars down” signal, also
referred to as “three red weeks,” which consists of three consecutive weekly
candles with lower highs and lower lows following a significant peak.
Historically, this pattern has preceded major Bitcoin
corrections, including a 70% decline after the 2017 all-time high, a 55% drop
in April 2021, and a 53% correction following June 2019. In the current bull
market, the signal has already appeared twice, each time coinciding with
roughly a 30% correction.
Why This Time Might Be Different
Despite the historical precedent, the analyst argued that
the conditions this time differ from past occurrences. Previous signals
coincided with periods of extreme market greed and peak Google search interest
for Bitcoin, while the current market has not displayed sustained euphoria.
This suggests that a deep correction may be less likely, and the bull market
could continue.
This rare weekly signal has crashed the price of Bitcoin by up to 70%. Crypto isn't immune to it either; however, we are yet to see the sentiment reach similar levels for the full impact of this signal. There are 4 days to go to invalidate this signal. #BTC#ETH#Crypto
The preferred short-term scenario involves a bounce toward
$114K–$117K, followed by a rejection and a retest of recent lows near $107K,
which could help establish a stronger base for a future rally. If the signal
holds and the price fails to surpass $113K, it may indicate a longer and deeper
correction extending into the fourth quarter.
