Bitcoin May Have Just Pulled Off a Technically Significant Move — But Not Everyone Is Impressed

Bitcoin, the first and largest cryptocurrency by market cap, may have recently pulled off a technically significant move — but not everyone is impressed.

Bitcoin (BTC) may have recently pulled off a technically significant move as it broke and retested a multi-month downtrend, but veteran trader Peter Brandt isn't exactly impressed.

Reacting to an analysis by crypto analyst Rekt Capital, who pointed out that Bitcoin (BTC) broke its multi-month downtrend, successfully retested it as support and held above it for several consecutive days — a pattern typically considered as bullish, Brandt responded with a yawn emoji.

Brandt previously highlighted Bitcoin's boring and repetitive price action in another post on April 17. As he put it, "Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky."

The veteran trader added that the cryptocurrency has been exhibiting horizontal movement rather than an upward trajectory.

"I've never seen anything like it. Same price day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after day after, but not the same day."

In the last 30 days, Bitcoin has traded between $75,000 and $88,000, and it has failed to close above $90,000.

The apex cryptocurrency tested lows near $74,000 twice in April, establishing support in this price range before rebounding. Following the comeback, Bitcoin reached highs of $85,909 on April 12 and has since maintained itself above the $85,000 level.

Since then, the lead crypto asset has been moving in a tight range between $82,765 and $86,491.

Bitcoin at key decision point

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was down 1.16% in the last 24 hours to $84,308 as the crypto market faced slight selling pressure in the early Sunday session with nearly $138 million reached in liquidations across the crypto market.

According to Glassnode, the volatility-adjusted Net Realized Profit/Loss indicator tends to oscillate around its long-term median, acting as a mean reversion tool. This metric has now reset back to its neutral median value, which occurs when the realized and market prices converge.

As the market participants collectively break even on their coins at this point, it indicates that the Bitcoin market has reached a key decision point, and draws a line in the sand for the bulls to establish support in the current price range.
