Bitcoin Bulls Bamboozled Again! Bearish Trends and Swing Patterns Stir the Pot đŸ»đŸČ

by

Now, friends, if ever there was a time to keep your hands in your pockets and your lunch money close, it’s right about now in the world of Bitcoin. That fancy digital coin is doing what it likes best: puzzling folks and refusing to do as it’s told. It’s sittin’ just shy of that so-called “point of control” after getting swatted away from a resistance line as stern as an old schoolmarm. The big chart-watchers say the short-term trend is bearish. Of course, you didn’t need a chart to know it; you could just look at the faces of Bitcoin traders—mighty long lately.

After it got booted from its local high, that puckish coin slid right back into its old haunts. Now it’s consolidating under some mysterious market wizardry called the POC. This lines up with a “swing failure pattern” and a “bearish harmonic structure”—or as my Aunt Polly would’ve called it, ‘a heap of trouble in a wheelbarrow.’ This little backslide hasn’t blown the barn doors off just yet, but it’s got folks peeping over their spectacles, sure enough.

Key technical observations by your local rascal

  • Dynamic Resistance Stiffer Than Aunt Polly’s Biscuits: Price keeps bouncing off a resistance trendline, stacking up lower highs since April 23. It’s like a frog tryin’ to jump out of a well and landin’ right back on its tail.
  • Price Lounges Below the Point of Control: Bitcoin’s lounging just beneath the volume-weighted POC. If it settles in and gets cozy, there might be a slide to the cellar door coming.
  • Low Timeframes Bearish (And Grumpy): The parade of lower highs and lower lows goes on—marching toward more mischief unless someone sounds a bullish trumpet.

More facts and fewer fairy tales

That April 23 spell where Bitcoin got smacked down, well, it happened right where the POC and a bearish harmonic pattern rendezvoused—kind of like meeting your ex and your tax collector at the same time. Down it went, back to a trading range where the value area high just tipped its hat and disappeared. Now, Bitcoin’s tucked in right beneath POC—a spot with more volume than a preacher at Sunday service.

The main theme on the lower timeframes is this: more lower highs and lower lows than a river full of catfish. Dynamic resistance is clamping down tighter than a miser on his last dime. Unless the bulls shake off this spell, cautious is how the cookie crumbles.

Watch what happens near the POC. If price gets used to living under it, the bears might take it all the way down to deeper supports—whatever those are this week. But if the bulls manage to drag Bitcoin above POC for a spell and actually raise a higher low, well, that might just turn the boat around.

What’s cookin’ next?

As Bitcoin cools its heels under the POC and can’t climb past that leathery resistance, bears have the upper hand for now. If resistance kicks it again, there’s a chance of an even deeper tumble—like a sack of potatoes down the cellar stairs.

On the other hand, if the bulls find their boots and manage a respectable move above the POC, you might see some optimism. But unless that happens, keep an eye on those short-term patterns, and don’t bet the farm on a breakout—unless you like barns better than crypto, that is. đŸš€đŸ€
