Bitcoin (BTC) price indicators are suggesting that the bottom for this long correction, approaching six months of sideways to downwards price action, is either close to being found, or has already been found by BTC.

A game of patience and waiting

For those crypto investors who are new to the world of Bitcoin, the last few months must have felt trying in the extreme. Many would perhaps even have sold their BTC position, especially if they had jumped onboard when Bitcoin was close to its top, at nearly $74,000.

What probably the majority of these investors don’t realize, is that even in traditional stock market trading, it’s a game of patience. As it happens, the crypto market is far more volatile than the stock market, and so big moves do happen a lot quicker. Six months is quite a short period of time in the world of investing.

That said, it is starting to look like Bitcoin could be at or near the bottom of this long, drawn-out correction, in spite of the reports across social media that this or that huge entity might be selling.

Sellers and buyers at the Bitcoin ETFs

It is true that for the Spot Bitcoin ETFs, the selling is certainly ongoing. Friday saw the eighth straight day of net outflows from the ETFs, and it was another big sale of 3.03K BTC that institutions or private investors divested themselves of.

However, this has to be measured against the likes of Michael Saylor’s Microstrategy looking to buy again, and the mystery buyer ‘Mr 100’, possibly a sovereign wealth fund, who continues to buy Bitcoin in quantities of around 100 BTC at a time. He bought 2000 BTC in just the first seven days of September.

BTC price in short term descending channel

Looking at the shorter time frame chart for BTC, we can see that the price is moving within a descending channel. While this chart pattern is bearish in itself, given that it is displaying an uninterrupted sequence of lower highs and lower lows, a breakout to the upside is more likely to indicate a change in trend.

As the BTC price moves back to the top of the channel, a rejection is quite possible again, causing yet another lower high, and given that support at $51,000 is not far below, the price could come down one more time.

Macro indicators suggest a coming trend change

Moving out to the macro weekly time frame, we can see that the bull flag is still holding perfectly. A wick down to test the $51,000 support level has taken place, and it would therefore just appear to be a matter of time before the BTC price either moves back to the top of the flag, or falls through the bottom.

At the bottom of the above weekly chart, the Relative Strength Index is displaying a series of lower highs and lows. However, the orange line marks important support and resistance, going back quite a number of years. If this support can hold, and a bounce takes place, a break of the descending trend line could augur the beginning of a trend change.

Looking at the same chart, but with the Stochastic RSI at the bottom, we can observe that the indicator lines are bottoming again. This means that in the next week or two, these indicator lines could be on their way back up. Two fake outs have occurred thus far, so third time lucky could see strong momentum carry the BTC price into a marked upward trend.
