Bitcoin Tests $80K Resistance, Double Bottom Confirmation Looms

Fidelity's director of global macro, Jurrien Timmer, has observed that Bitcoin is testing its resistance level around $80,000. According to Timmer, a decisive break above this threshold could confirm a 'double bottom' pattern, which often signals a bullish reversal.

A double bottom forms when the price tests a support level twice, forming a 'W' shape with the second trough typically holding above the first. If Bitcoin breaks through $80,000, it would be seen as confirmation of this technical formation.

Timmer also noted that Bitcoin has held the lower bound of its power law corridor, which may indicate that the market has undergone a correction deep enough to satisfy the cyclical timing of a 'crypto winter' under the four-year halving cycle.
