Tomorrow is the last day of the month of July, and Bitcoin is at a pivotal moment in its lifetime. The crossroads of a possible bear market or bullish continuation is here, and the path chosen will dictate the trend for potentially months or years to come. The monthly timeframe could provide clues as to what might be next, and we’ve got five ultra bullish technical charts and reasons why Bitcoin is more likely to blast off than fall further from here. Critical Monthly Close Could Determine Crypto Cycle Crossroads Bitcoin is back at around $40,000 after a long drawn out and dramatic fall to $30,000. Each sweep below the support level was bought up, but resistance above also has yet to crack.  The reason for the stalemate between the two levels, is because price action on monthly timeframes is trapped between the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen. The last bear market was kicked off by losing such level. The monthly candle is also holding at support, which is something that failed to happen in early 2018.

But in bulls favor, support has fallen back to where a TD 9 count was previously broken on the high timeframe. Support is holding where the trend became interesting | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.com Bitcoin Bull Stampede Could Be Brewing, According To Technicals The bullish signals on the monthly timeframe simply just don’t stop there. Bitcoin price has plenty more to suggest the bull run is nowhere yet finished. The next signal is from the Relative Strength Index, which suggests that although Bitcoin got overheated very quickly during this last impulse, the bull run would barely be a whimper compared to the last rally. RSI support is holding | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.com The RSI is holding at a level that prompted that last major bull market of 2017, and has begun to turn back higher. If the same reading is taken from the point of support during the last bull market, the RSI suggests there’s a lot more room for bulls to run this cycle.

There’s no bearish crossover… yet | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.com The LMACD is the logarithmic version of the moving average convergence divergence indicator, and is better suited for use with Bitcoin. Past bear crosses on the monthly timeframe led to extended downtrends, while narrowly crossing in late 2020 led Bitcoin’s charge to $60,000 per coin. All of the charts combined suggest that any bearish action on lower timeframes, was nothing more than a shakeout of epic proportions. However, only time will tell, and there is still more than 24 hours left before the clearly critical monthly candle comes to a dramatic close.

Bitcoin has recently fallen below a $32,000 critical hold point and in response, retail investors have taken this as an opportunity to make money from the falling bitcoin price. So far, retail investors have started loading up on shorts, an incredibly bearish metric for the market. Retail investors load up on shorts | Source: Twitter So many shorts placed in such a short period of time might show other investors that the price of the digital asset will fall eventually and thus, lead to panic selling. Although this is never always the case. The fact remains that no one exactly can pinpoint what will happen with the digital asset and as such, every short or long being placed now are mere bets. More akin to guesses than actual predictions.

Money on retail for once. — Crazy Tuliped (@TonyD0214) July 16, 2021 Forecasts remain that the digital asset might break the $30,000 stronghold that it has held for weeks now. Speculations abound that this is the point institutional investors would up their investments and the bulls would come storming back in. BTC price amid bearish sentiment | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.com Bitcoin has dipped in the past 24 hours, down to almost $31,000, and made a small recovery back from this dip. But this is not enough to renew faith that a rebound would be more likely than a bottom. If the digital asset breaks $30,000 before the week is over, then it might as well be very well in bear territory for bitcoin. Regardless, other investors believe this will spark a weekend relief rally. The shorters hope to break the current bitcoin support but so far, bitcoin has held out. But there’s no telling how the rest of the weekend will play out. Bullish Sentiment For Bitcoin? Despite the continued fall of the price of the digital asset, bitcoin maximalists continue to remain steadfast in their resolve for bitcoin’s future. Exchanges have reported plummeting crypto reserves on their balance as investors take out coins from exchanges into hold wallets. Holders continue to stand by the coin. There are likely to be large accumulation events taking place if bitcoin does break the $30,000 support. Whales will use this opportunity to buy back the assets they had sold during the height of the market and retail investors alike will want a piece of that action.

Bitcoin price is in a downtrend, after spending nearly a full year in a parabolic uptrend. An indicator bearing the “parabolic” name on monthly timeframes has given a signal, that according to past instances, has always resulted in a catastrophic fall in the top cryptocurrency by market cap. Even if the resulting selloff ends up being the weakest ever following such a signal, it still could put Bitcoin at risk of a plunge to below $20,000 per coin. Here’s why. Remembering The Now Broken Bitcoin Uptrend Through Now 2020 was the perfect storm for Bitcoin and the rest of crypto. Talk of inflation, a supply shock, and nations in turmoil caused investors to flock with the scarce and innovative emerging assets. Institutions, hedge funds, and even corporations began to pay attention to Bitcoin, and the greater crypto market began to boom due to Ethereum, DeFi, NFTs, and Dogecoin. Related Reading | Bitcoin Bulls Bring Out Hammer Of Thor Reversal, But Support Must Hold More big names have been drawn to the space than ever before, and Bitcoin is now in the portfolios of the wealthy around the world. The scramble to buy BTC before everyone else sent the price per coin on a parabolic uptrend, and took it from under $4,000 to more than $65,000. All the attention helped take Coinbase public, but since then Bitcoin and the rest of crypto has been in a downtrend, and it could get a lot worse now that the parabola has been broken. The Parabolic SAR hasn’t been hit many times in Bitcoin’s history | Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.com Why The Parabolic SAR Could Be Warning Of Further Crypto Collapse When Bitcoin price broke its parabolic advance in early 2018, iconic trader Peter Brandt famously called for an 80% correction, give or take a few percentage points on either side. A year later the leading cryptocurrency by market cap plummeted to its bear market bottom for a full 84% retracement. A tool that can help tell traders when an asset has gone parabolic, and through that tool where to place stop losses, could be signaling that Bitcoin will drop a lot more now that again parabola has been broken – possibly as much as Brandt called for in the past. Related Reading | The Missing Ingredient From A Full On Bitcoin Reversal The technical analysis tool, called the Parabolic SAR can indicate when a trend has “stopped and reversed.” The recent selloff touched the Parabolic SAR on monthly timeframes, and in the past each time that happened, BTC dropped by 72% or more against the dollar. At the highest point the post-SAR plunge reached a staggering 86% – not far from the statistics shared by Brandt. With the tool triggered, even at the lowest ever drop in history percentage wise, Bitcoin is still at risk of dropping below $20,000 or even lower. At even 84%, which we now know happens when parabola is broken, it could take the top crypto asset back to around $10,000. Traders use the Parabolic SAR to move their stop losses up in profit, so the only hope left for bulls is that this level was hunted on purpose. The fall happened to coincide with the yearly open, so there are plenty of technical reasons for the target also. Featured image from iStockPhotos, Charts from TradingView.com

BB% could sweep the current low like it did in 2019 before slingshotting back upward. Finally, the LMACD is also exhibiting a very similar pattern and if another bearish crossover happens, it could be a massive trap like the last time around.
