Since the crypto bubble of 2017-2018, investors have been waiting for Bitcoin<\/a> to surmount its $20,000 all-time high.<\/p>\n While BTC reaching a price above $20,000 seems to be a quixotic dream at best, a prominent cryptocurrency trader has suggested that the cryptocurrency is preparing for a rally to $30,000 \u2014 if this one resistance can be breached that is.<\/p>\n Brian “Ledger Status” Krogsgard<\/a>, a prominent cryptocurrency trader with nearly 70,000 followers on Twitter, recently shared<\/a> the below chart, showing that BTC is in the midst of forming a long-term pennant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In a message accompanying the chart, the analyst said that Bitcoin breaking above<\/em> the pennant<\/a>, whose upper bound currently trades around $12,000, will set a potential surge to $30,000 \u2014 more than 200% above the current market price of $9,100.<\/p>\n Although the pennant could also break to the downside, Krogsgard seemingly has his money on the bullish narrative, writing “maybe it is as easy as long he 20-week support,” referencing the fact that Bitcoin decisively bounced above the 20-week moving average \u2014 a technical level which BTC bounced off of multiple times in 2017’s rally to $20,000.<\/p>\n Indeed, pennants are textbook continuation patterns, meaning BTC has a higher chance of breaking higher to fresh highs than falling into a secular bear market<\/a>.<\/p>\n This may leave readers with the pressing question \u2014 will BTC break above the pennant’s upper bound at ~$13,000?<\/p>\n According to many analysts, it’s highly possible.<\/p>\n PolarHunt observed that there are eerie similarities between the market structure in 2014-2016 to the market structure today. BTC following the previous market cycle to T, per Polar Hunt\u2019s charts, will mean the asset surging to $18,000 \u2014 a gain of 100% from the current price of $9,000<\/a> \u2014 by the time of the block reward reduction in May 2020.<\/p>\n Underscoring the positive technical outlook is strong fundamentals.<\/p>\n Analyst RookieXBT noted<\/a> on Tuesday that the hash rate is almost \u201c~940% from where it was when BTC was at an all-time high\u201d of $20,000.<\/a> This, RookieXBT wrote, is a sign that \u201cBitcoin has never been more bullish.\u201d<\/p>\n Indeed, growth in the hash rate of the network suggests at least two things: 1) Bitcoin miners are confident in the long-term success of the cryptocurrency (especially in terms of price) and allocate more resources to the security of the network; and 2) the technology of mining machines is being improved on, resulting in the increase in hash rate.<\/p>\nBitcoin Breaking This Crucial Level Could Set Stage for Surge<\/strong><\/h2>\n
