Is Bitcoin ready for the moon? Patterns and metrics all point to…

• Bitcoin’s “Cup & Handle” pattern pointed to a bullish run, closely following the S&P500 and Gold
• A potential BTC rebound to $69,785 could liquidate $91.32 million in shorts

Bitcoin (BTC), at press time, appeared to be mapping out a “Cup and Handle”  pattern, one quite familiar to both the S&P500 and Gold, according to an analyst’s recent tweet. Based on the setup, a bullish breakout could see the price of Bitcoin climb as high as $230k over the coming months.

Hence, the million-dollar question that investors are eager to see answered is whether or not this cryptocurrency market will follow other traditional assets in its surge to this target.

Shorts may fall…

Bitcoin’s potential rebound could trigger an extremely intense liquidation event if its price bounces back to $69,785.

Currently, $91.32 million worth of short positions are at risk, should the crypto head north. With momentum building across the market, significant volatility should be expected.
