After a long bearish trend in the crypto market, things are finally expected to change for the better.
The price of BTC is expected to rise, while mainstream adoption is on its way, according to the latest data.
Currently, the crypto market seems to be holding steady and most tokens including Bitcoin are up a small percentage.
BTC to reach $6,000
BTC’s price is trending sideways, and slightly down over the last week, technical experts are looking for signs that could suggest a breakout.
New analysis coming from Crypto Daily suggests that a decreasing number of shorts shows that a massive move is on its way.
“The daily chart also shows that BTCUSDShorts is trading within a descending channel and a rising wedge at the same time, both of which are extremely bearish setups. So, the most likely scenario at this point is that BTCUSDShorts will have to break below the rising wedge and continue trading within the descending channel,” they write.
They continue and report that if we consider that this hasn’t happened in over 14 months and a break below the trend line support in BTC/USD will shatter the bearish trend.
They predicted that BTC could soon reach around $6,000 again.
