Benzinga - Renowned trader Peter Brandt took to Twitter to share his insights on Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) current position, hinting at potential bearish signals.
What Happened: Brandt pointed out that Bitcoin is “seriously challenging multi-contact point trendline from 2023 bottom.” He further elaborated that any movement through the August low could be interpreted as either a bear signal or a bear trap. This observation comes amidst a backdrop of varying opinions on Bitcoin’s trajectory from other analysts.
As a swing trader I would respect the violation of the trendline. So, my positions would be either short or flat. Only if a bear trap is actually "sprung" would I consider it a bullish development. I strongly prefer horizontal chart construction.— Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) August 16, 2023
