The 4-Hour Chart

Looking at the 4-hour timeframe, the price has created a bullish flag pattern following the recent recovery from the $50K area.

Considering the price action inside the flag pattern, it could only be a matter of time before the market breaks it to the upside, which could result in a rally toward the $64K resistance zone in the short term.

On the other hand, note that things could get ugly quickly if the flag gets broken to the downside.

Bitcoin Short-Term Holders SOPR

While Bitcoin’s price action has been quite choppy over the last few months, analyzing what the investors are going through can be insightful.

This chart presents the Bitcoin short-term holder SOPR, which measures the aggregate ratio of profits (or losses) realized by short-term investors. Values above one show aggregate profit realization, and values below one indicate losses being realized on aggregate.

As the chart suggests, during the last few months of consolidation, the profit margins for short-term holders have been declining, and they have even been realizing losses in the previous few weeks. While unfortunate, this shakeout could be a typical sign of a price bottom in the middle of a long-term bull run. Yet, this is not guaranteed, as a wide range of factors can affect how the price will behave in the near future.
