Bitcoin Defies Macro Risks to Test Triangle Resistance
Despite rising oil prices and the unwinding of the Yen carry trade, Bitcoin is holding steady. Oil prices have surged to their highest level since May 22 due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, with Brent crude reaching $100 per barrel for the first time this year.
The rise in oil prices could lead to increased inflation concerns and prompt a Fed interest rate hike, which would put downward pressure on Bitcoin's price. However, analysts remain bullish on BTC, citing its past performance when it moves above the Warm Supply Realized Price.
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju notes that 'analysts' consensus' suggests that Bitcoin is still a strong buy. Analyst Ali Martinez points out that Bitcoin has moved above the Warm Supply Realized Price in the past, resulting in significant price increases of 69% and 159%, respectively.
While some analysts are cautious about the impact of rising oil prices and interest rates on Bitcoin's price, others believe it will continue to hold its value. The four-hour chart shows that BTC is testing the resistance of a falling triangle pattern, and if it closes above this level, it could move to $80,489.
