Bitcoin Price Technicals Suggest a Rebound is Possible BTC price chart | Source: TradingView Technically, Bitcoin has formed several bullish patterns, suggesting that a rebound is possible. The most notable is a falling wedge, which consists of two descending, converging trendlines. This pattern normally leads to a strong bullish breakout. The coin has remained above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), a sign that the upward trend remains intact. Similarly, the Supertrend indicator has remained green. Therefore, these patterns suggest that the coin will bounce back, potentially to the key resistance level of $87,254, its highest point in September. A drop below the support level of $80,000 will invalidate the bullish outlook. Read Also: CoreWeave Stock Forms H&S Pattern as Key Bond Yield Hits 15% Amid Insider Selling Image: Shutterstock
