Bitcoin is currently experiencing a small correction by cryptocurrency standards<\/a>. The last time the top cryptocurrency corrected from below $20,000, it touched under $6,000 weeks later. But the normally notoriously volatile crypto asset isn’t swinging quite as wildly as the peak of the 2017 bull run.<\/p>\n

So while this isn’t likely the peak that causes another bear market, there are at least five technical reasons for the current correction that suggest Bitcoin is taking a quick breather before the final bullish impulse begins.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Bullish Impulse Reachs Exhaustion, Short-Term Reversal Probable<\/h2>\n

The gloves are on, and bear whales with large supplies of BTC<\/a> are slugging it out with institutional buyers accumulating the cryptocurrency at whatever price they can get their hands on it.<\/p>\n

Retail FOMO recently jumped in at the end just as the asset set a new all-time high. But “OG whales<\/a>” are currently showing why they are the reigning heavyweight champs of the crypto space.<\/p>\n

The tides are turning, and the recent bull trend is beginning to wane. Technicals show extreme exhaustion was reached days ago<\/a>, and now the momentum is fading as prices begin to fall. Five different technical indicators are all giving strong bearish signals on daily timeframes, but because the higher timeframes remain bullish, any downside is likely only a breather for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Five Technical Indicators Forewarning Of A Needed Crypto Market Correction<\/h2>\n

The first technical indicator we’ll examine is called the Bollinger Bands<\/a> and has a variety of features. It can be used to measure volatility through the width between each band, acts as support or resistance, and can be used for buy or sell signals.<\/p>\n

The tool’s creator has even called for a potential top pattern in Bitcoin<\/a>, but as an experienced trader was waiting for confirmation. That confirmation has potentially arrived with the bands beginning to “lift” downward, after passing through and failing to reclaim the middle-BB.<\/p>\n
