It turned out that today’s price action, along with the values of the indicators on the 5-day time frame, also give conditions similar to the historical signals of a strong Bitcoin movement. Recently, well-known cryptocurrency analyst Eric Krown took a look at this development on YouTube. According to the expert, if the market behaves as it has for the past 12 months, the BTC price could reach the $61,000 area in about 42.5 days.

BTC is down 52 percent since ATH. Since the January low, BTC has been trending sideways with price consolidation and higher lows on the daily chart. For the past month and a half, Bitcoin has been in a range between $37,500-$44,500.
If we look at BTC’s price action over the last 12 months, we can see some similarities with the trend reversal following the summer low macro of 2021. It initially set support points (green circles) during the May-July 2021 low and then acted as support during the September correction. Only a definitive break below this curve and confirmation as resistance on Nov. 12-15 started a sharp decline in BTC.

Strong moves for Bitcoin: Each of these lows on the $61,000 forecast
BBWP chart in April was followed by a rapid expansion phase in Bitcoin’s volatility within days. As volatility is directionally neutral, the next few days always led to big ups and downs. It just marks a big change in price. Also, the BBWP chart points to a global drop in Bitcoin’s volatility over the past year.
It also indicates that we can expect a very strong move in BTC in the next few months when the BBWP resistance line is broken, according to the expert. Now, when we look at the price action in the periods following consecutive decreases in BBWP, the range of corresponding increases and decreases can be seen. By measuring the movement of BTC price to a local high/low with a 5-day candle open at the time of the signal, the following results are obtained:
- 50% drop over 45 days
- 55% increase over 40 days
- 45% increase lasting 35 days
- 42% decrease lasting 50 days
By averaging these data, for Bitcoin price An average of 48 percent volatility is achieved. On the other hand, the average time from signal to high/low transition is 42.5 days. The opening price of the most recent 5-day candle is $41,100. According to the expert, if the next high/low average period is maintained, a target of 48 percent will be achieved in the last days of April. So according to the expert, if BTC were bullish, a 48 percent increase from the current opening candle, BTC would have been priced around $61,000 in April. Had there been a 48 percent drop, BTC would have been priced around $21,400.
