The largest cryptocurrency-Bitcoin continues to move in a sideways trend for nearly two weeks now, reflecting an indecisive time in the crypto market. As mentioned in our previous article, this consolidation strictly responds to two converging trendlines which shows the formation of a symmetrical triangle pattern. Therefore, the completion of this pattern could be crucial to determine the near future trend of Bitcoin.
Key Points:
- The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index at 49% also reflects an uncertain market trend
- A breakout from the triangle resistance will set the BTC price for 7% gains this week.
- The intraday trading volume in Bitcoin is $9.7 Billion, indicating a 26% gain.

With an intraday gain of 0.26%, the Bitcoin price trades at $26872 and continues to edge closer to the peak of the triangle pattern. Thus, the Bitcoin price is poised for a significant breakout from either of the converging trendlines, which will thereafter forecast the potential price movement.
A bullish breakout from the overhead trendline may surge the price by 7-6% to hit the downsloping trendline of the channel pattern at $28000. For the Bitcoin price to surpass the $30000 mark, it needs a genuine breakout from the channel pattern.

Conversely, a 4-hour candle closing below the triangle support will tumble the prices 5-6% this week to reach the lower trendline of the channel pattern near $25000.
Thus, the Bitcoin price is currently in a no-trading zone, the interested traders must wait for a triangle breakout before entering into a new position.
