This is a widely used chart pattern that shows a supply / demand equilibrium, which usually appears just before a major turning point in either direction. However, such a formation can be viewed as a continuation model pattern.
Rager also said that he was concerned about the lack of buying volume could push Bitcoin price down to $ 7.600.

Another Technical indicator printed a signal for changing in momentum of Bitcoin. The GTI global strength indicator, which is used to determine the strength of an asset ‘s price by comparing the movement of daily close, shows BTC is currently in oversold territory.
Analyst Mike McGlone believes BTC is slowly beginning to emerge as a hedge against the global economic crisis as gold.
However, in a series of tweets, economist Alex Krüger said that he did not think BTC was maturing into a safe haven asset.
“In weeks like the current one should realize bitcoin is without a sliver of doubt neither a risk-off (safe haven) nor a risk-on asset, and put the argument to rest once and for all.
I’ve been expressing this line of thinking for a long time. It has become a lonely rant in 2019.
Stocks have been crashing since yesterday’s ISM print, all assets aside of crypto assets are trading in line (as usual).”
