Bitcoin Set for Historic Bull Signal with Upcoming Weekly Golden Cross

Published December 7, 2023

Bitcoin is on the verge of showing an 'early bull market' indication for the first time in its history. Investors in the cryptocurrency space are eyeing an unprecedented technical event — a weekly golden cross on the Bitcoin chart — which analysts speculate could materialize by early 2024.

Traditionally, the golden cross is a bullish signal where a shorter-term moving average crosses over a longer-term moving average. For Bitcoin, a major focus is on the 50-week and the 200-week moving averages (MAs). The latter serves as a critical line of defense against bear market lows and has continuously risen in value over time.

Bitcoin's price recovery has recently seen it resurge above the 200-week MA. If the current trajectory holds, the market may soon see the 50-week MA cross above its 200-week counterpart for the first time. Entrepreneur Alistair Milne highlighted this potential golden cross, suggesting that it might mark the beginning of a bullish phase for Bitcoin.

Some market observers, however, are not convinced by the recent Bitcoin rally. Despite the impending golden cross, there are traders who remain cautious. For example, trader Crypto Chase has taken a short position, betting on a price decline, suggesting Bitcoin could face a downturn to the low $20,000s before climbing to new all-time highs.

Il Capo of Crypto, another prominent trader, echoes this bearish sentiment, targeting a bottom as low as $12,000 for Bitcoin. Preparing their audience for volatility, they forecast an upcoming 'capitulation event' that would see Bitcoin and altcoins drop significantly in value.

As with any market prediction, these are not certainties, and each investor must conduct their own research and assume risk when making trade decisions. The potential weekly golden cross remains a fascinating development to watch, as Bitcoin continues to navigate through its ongoing price dynamics.
