The chart implies that for Bitcoin to remain in bullish territory, it will need to close above the upper arm of the triangle, which currently sits at around $8,050.
Rekt Capital, has echoed a similar line. He remarked in a recent tweet that for Bitcoin to undergo a bullish continuation pattern, BTC will need to see a high-time frame close above $8,150. This was also corroborated by Data Dater, who said that as $8,150 is where Bitcoin’s 233-day moving average lies, a daily close above that level would implying 10% continuation to $9,000.

Fractal Predicts Dramatic Drop
While many analysts and traders have viewed this upward breakout in a bullish light, one noted that it fulfills a fractal that he has been tracking for a few days now.
il Capo of Crypto posted the chart below in the wake of the upturn, noting that Bitcoin’s current chart looks very similar to the move from $10,500 to $7,700, having seen a falling wedge breakout and having hit a number of key Fibonacci Retracement levels.

Capo notes that should the fractal play out almost in full, Bitcoin will peak at $8,350 in the coming hours, then fall at least as low as $7,500 in a massive red candle to the downside.
