Bitcoin bounce expected after test, with median gains of 6% in five days
Bitcoin looks set for a short-term bounce after its recent test, which is good news for buyers hoping for relief but only points to a modest recovery.
- Past setups like this one have typically been followed by a bounce of about 6% within five days.
- Ten days out, the typical gain has been closer to 8%, which would lift Bitcoin back to its last big weekly high.
- Just over half of these bounces get most of the way there within the first five days.
- The read is still provisional since the current daily candle has not closed yet.
Outlook: A bounce toward the low-to-mid $80,000s is the base case over the next week or two, assuming the pattern holds.
