Bitcoin has been able to find some stability after rapidly surging back above the critical $8,000 level earlier this week, signaling that BTC\u2019s bulls are not yet ready to surrender to its bears, which means that further gains could be imminent.<\/p>\n

Although the possibility of further gains remains strong, some analysts are apt to note that Bitcoin does appear to be forming a notorious head & shoulders formation that may favor the crypto\u2019s bears.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Breaks Above $8,000, But Faces Resistance at $8,200<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> is trading up slightly at its current price<\/a> of $8,170, up from weekly lows of just above $7,500 which were set last week.<\/p>\n

Over a one-month period, it is clear that Bitcoin is currently in a period of consolidation, as it has been oscillating between $7,000 and $9,000, mostly finding itself in the middle of this wide trading range.<\/p>\n

Although BTC\u2019s latest move up certainly appears to be bullish and has led many analysts to believe that a move up towards $9,000 is imminent, it may be slightly too early to celebrate, as the crypto may be in the process of confirming a bearish head & shoulders pattern.<\/p>\n

Cred, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, spoke about this technical formation in a recent tweet, noting that it is still slightly too early to label this formation as confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201c$BTC Looks like a H&S top. Yes, it’s not ‘confirmed’ until neckline breaks. Inexperienced traders still trade patterns too early. If neckline resistance breaks, a bunch of early shorts will be offside & I expect trend continuation. Personally not rebuying $7.6k if breakdown,\u201d he explained while referencing the below chart.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
