Bitcoin crossed psychological resistance at $10,000 as it went up 41% year-to-date. The golden cross suggests a strong rally that could drive the price of the cryptocurrency to $20,000 before 2020 ends.Â
The golden cross is a candlestick pattern that serves as a bullish signal. A golden cross exists where short-term moving average crosses above long-term moving average. Â
In the past, the golden cross has proven to be a reliable indicator of bull rallies. The golden cross has only occurred three times in the history of Bitcoin.
The first golden cross that took place was in October 2015 before a strong bull run that led to the rise of Bitcoin from $300 to $20,000, a gain of 6,560% in two years.
The second time the golden cross occurred, Bitcoin rose in value from $5,000 in April 2019 to $14,000 in June 2019, a 180% in less than 60 days.Â
According to trader and investor, Crypto Rand,
“The Golden Cross is probably the strongest bullish signal you can get on a Technical Analysis. The last time it played out for Bitcoin, it resulted in a 213% price rise. Now it’s happening again.The target would be $28,000”
Other analysts disagree, asserting that a golden cross is not everything. Whatever, the future holds, the fact remains that golden crosses have preceded significant price rallies in the past.
