There is a strong argument that the current bitcoin price consolidation is a reaccumulation trading range and could lead to a potential continuation of the uptrend.
Bitcoin's price has managed to hold a higher low for the first time since the beginning of the bear market and is currently seeing a strong rally that has it testing key resistances.
After a strong round of selling over the course of two weeks plunged the price of bitcoin back to the $6,000s, the cryptocurrency now seems poised for another upward swing.
In two short weeks, ETHUSD was devalued by 50% of its market value. With little to no relief for the underwater bulls, ether seems to be accelerating downward as buyer confidence is lacking and showing signs of capitulation. The entire crypto market, as a whole, is showing signs of capitulation as many alts have seen similar devaluations in shorter periods of time than ETHUSD. Similar to many other coins, ether is penetrating long-held support with very little ease:
Although the overall volume trend is consolidating, it is pretty clear that sell pressure is still very present relative to bitcoin's recent bullish rally.
While it is inherently bearish to push below a trading range, there are a couple arguments that can actually put a bullish twist on bitcon's deep test of support.
