In the above chart, the way the price of BTC is moving suggests the possibility of the formation of a double top. However, the pattern is only confirmed after the price breaks the lowest resistance, i.e., $7,529. After which, the price will decline quickly into a correction that is being expected by most of the traders in the crypto space.
There is however a scenario where the price might just take off from here since it’s is undergoing a sideways movement, which can also be treated as an accumulation phase.

According to Tone Vays, the price of Bitcoin will reach $4,500 before proceeding to a bull rally; Peter Brandt is also awaiting a pullback.
