Is Bitcoin headed towards record high?
Published On: Tuesday, October 12, 2021 | By: Team KnowMyStock
Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency was trading just above $57,000 as of 7:52 a.m. in London, some $7,700 shy of its April record. A recent rally in digital tokens like Bitcoin and second-ranked Ether contrasts with the travails of assets such as stocks, bonds and gold amid a bout of jitters in global markets. Record highs for Bitcoin are possible, maybe at around $80,000 to $85,000 based on chart patterns, say some experts. Bitcoin’s climb has activated an inverted head and shoulders chart pattern. The so-called measured objective for Bitcoin derived from this pattern is about $79,000, which would top the all-time high of almost $65,000 from April. A study of Bitcoin and Ether price momentum shows that short-term momentum has crossed above the longer term trend. Over the past five years, both tokens were significantly higher a year after each such crossover. Positioning in the options market suggests bets on a continuation of the Bitcoin advance.
Bitcoin outperformed Ether in October in 2018, 2019 and last year, and the pattern is holding again this month. On average over the past three years, Bitcoin was ahead of Ether by about 13 percentage points in October.
