According to data from BitMEX, in 2018, the BTC price dropped by about 40% after a week’s increase, similar to what the market has recently seen. Judging from the data, it is likely this time too.
This decline appears despite the fact that prices are on the way to form a diamond bottom, representing two symmetrical triangles next to each other. This is a major bullish pattern that can spur price jumps significantly.
According to trader “The Moon”, Bitcoin has a 70% chance of breakout if the aforementioned pattern is confirmed. As such, Bitcoin will need a huge buying volume for this scenario to occur.
Is #Bitcoin forming a “Diamond Pattern”?
If so, the chance of a break up is 70%, and the chance of a break down is 30%.

Another renowned technical analyst believes that Bitcoin will continue to decline for the rest of 2019.
Bitcoin Jack (BJ) on Tuesday said Bitcoin is testing $ 7,880 as important support on the daily chart. Therefore, it is likely that the price will bounce back from the said level or close below that level. BJ noted that a price move would allow bitcoin to retest $ 6,000, which last year hampered the decline of cryptocurrencies in many cases. BJ said that Bitcoin could potentially bottom near the same level, due to its historical significance.
Bitcoin prediction:
If $BTC loses $7880 on the daily, price will trade to 5950-6666 and bounce towards $7200-7700
Here it will be 50/50 scenario A/B
A: Bitcoin bottoms in Q4 2019 near $6K
B: Bitcoin will bottom in Q1 2020 between $4.2K and $5.2K pic.twitter.com/WBYg69a4Wn— Bitcoin ?ack (@BTC_JackSparrow) November 19, 2019
However, the analyst mentioned an alternative scenario, in which the price closed below $ 6K. Such a move will move Bitcoin’s bottom target to the range of $ 4,200-5,200. Previously, this was the area that acted as a strong resistance area for the cryptocurrency as it bounced back from the bottom of $ 3,100 in December 2018.
The short and medium-term Bitcoin price target
Joe Saz is mapping out short-term and medium-term possibilities for Bitcoin.
Bitcoin analyst and technical analyst told BlockTV that in his opinion Bitcoin’s sudden move from about $ 7,500 to $ 9,900 in late October changed its overall trend.
He is now following BTC closely to eliminate fake-out and again move to price hike, reaching $ 14,500 in the next six months.
In addition, Saz also raised the opinion of the price of some major altcoins.
According to him, Ethereum and Litecoin seem ready for a short-term change. But he warned that in the volatile and risky cryptocurrency market, anything can happen and traders should do their own research and ensure they are managing the risk properly. Meanwhile, Saz is a longtime skeptic of XRP and cryptocurrency payment company Ripple. He believes that the chart for the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is still falling.
“I believe that six months from now going into the halvening we will be seeing $14,500 or so.” – @Joe_Saz.
