Most bitcoin traders and analysts comment on BTC price charts wrt metrics already known or adequately discussed. However, there is an aspect that is rarely brought up in technical discussions. It provides a shocking yet convincing definition of bitcoinâs upcoming price action.
The Bitcoin Chart They DONâT Want You to See
That is the title of popular analyst Alessio Rastaniâs latest bitcoin price video, and it is pretty apt. Why? We shall see.
Bitcoin price has maintained quite a bullish outlook this year since the very beginning. But according to Rastani, the rally wasnât qualified enough to push BTC into a new bull market. Since late July, August he has been posting bearish calls on his YouTube channel with the most prominent being the âwildcardâ bitcoin price action theory, which he expects to play out till this date.
In his latest vid, Alessio asks his audience to switch to the âLinebreakâ mode on the usual BTC/USD chart. The particular chart opens up a totally different representation of the ongoing bitcoin price action, one which is not spotted so often.
Totally different from most other charts, this one reaffirms the stance on bitcoinâs current and upcoming price action.
Why Linebreak Chart Paints A Bearish BTC Picture
According to Tradestation,
The Line Break chart is a âmore subtle form of point and figure charts, where reversals are decided by the marketâ, as described by a Japanese trader. It is made up of a series of vertical blocks called lines, that use closing prices to indicate market direction. Line Break charts are most commonly known as âthree-line breakâ charts. This is because once there are three consecutive lines in the same direction, the Close must âbreakâ the most recent three lines in order to draw a line in the opposite direction. For example, once there are three consecutive Up Lines, the Close would have to break below the low of the prior three Up Lines before a Down Line can be drawn.
Rastani goes on to talk about how this chart actually knocked him off the moment he spotted it. In late July and August, this year bitcoin price registered a parabolic rise, which was followed by a pullback to the 21 MA. Then a quick bounce, with a drop âbelow the 21 MAâ soon after. This got him thinking, as the exact same pattern played out in 2017 â 2018.
Parabolic rise to the ~ $20,000 BTC price in November-December, then a drop to the 21 MA, bounce and then a drastic free fall below the 21 MA mark. As per, Alessio, this pattern is almost identical to the price action observed in August this year.
Whatâs interesting here to note is that the third bitcoin price fall or crash to be precise led to a significant trim in gains during the parabolic rally not just in 2017-2018 but also in the great BTC rally of 2013 where again the same linebreak picture showed up.
This makes Mr. Rastani come to the âconvincingâ conclusion that bitcoin is headed further down from the current price level (which is well below the 21 MA). The linebreak pattern becomes a useful tool for figuring BTCâs next direction, especially after the âbounceâ.
Even if bitcoin price jumps back, the 21 MA which corresponds with the $9561.23 price mark is going to be a significant resistance for BTCUSD. For now, BTC can only be seen going further down the road.
