Bitcoin Surged in April – Will the Rally Continue?

Is the Bitcoin bear market over?

When Bitcoin reached a high of $19,343 on December 16, 2017, investors were of the mind that sky was the limit. What happened next was the biggest reality check the cryptocurrency has ever seen. From mid-December through essentially late-March, Bitcoin’s price plummeted some 65%, and with the benefit of hindsight, one could argue that it displayed traits commonly found in equity bear markets: a steep, scary drop, followed by a dead cat bounce (February), followed by another down leg. Bear markets often deplete investors’ hopes in cruel ways, and for many, Bitcoin’s bear did just that.

But maybe the dark times are over. One could argue that since late March, Bitcoin’s price has found a support level, moving in a sideways trading range of about $6,600 to $7,000. But something interesting happened on April 11, when the price of Bitcoin broke out to the upside and has continued to make strides higher to date. The question is, is Bitcoin officially in recovery mode, meaning that the rally could continue??

Some technical traders and analysts are now keeping an eye on the 50-day moving average of about $8,600, labeling that price as a key support. The 150-day moving average is higher, at about $9,700, which could also define when Bitcoin could earnestly charge through those levels if it continues to breakout. Tickeron’s AI sees something else.

Tickeron’s Artificial Intelligence Sees Bullish Possibilities in Bitcoin Trading Patterns

Tickeron’s AI confirmed a “Wedge Falling” Bullish pattern for Bitcoin (BTC.X) in mid-April and thinks with greater than 25% confidence that the price of Bitcoin could surge to around $11,500 if the pattern plays out. For investors, that could mark an almost +20% surge from the current level of ~$9,600. On the chart below, you can see the AI’s thinking and details about the pattern formation:

The U.S. economy’s employment fell by -20.5 million in April. The coronavirus crisis led to unemployment rate soaring to 14.7% in the U.S, the highest rate in the Bureau of Labor Statistics-tracked series history that goes back to 1948. However, the figures were better compared to several economists'/analysts' forecasts of 22 million job losses and 16% unemployment rate. Another unemployment measure that includes those who have stopped looking for work as well as those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons also touched an all-time high of 22.8%.
