Bitcoin Bollinger Bands indicate potential for a big move
Bitcoin (BTC) briefly surpassed $30,000 before retreating to around $29,800. However, the cryptocurrency may be gearing up for a significant move, as its Bollinger Bands are at their narrowest since October 2020. The Bollinger Bands measure market volatility and narrow bands suggest reduced volatility and the possibility of a breakout. Traders interpret this as a consolidation phase or a period of uncertainty. Despite declining stock prices and a stronger US dollar, Bitcoin continues to trade in the green. Profit-taking in Bitcoin transactions is at a three-week high, with a 2:1 ratio of profit-taking to loss-taking. Long-term average trading returns have also increased to above 20%.
