A popular crypto strategist believes that the next few days will be crucial for the future prospects of #bitcoin (BTC).

According to Van de Poppe, a successful retest of the key technical indicator could suggest that the Bitcoin correction has concluded.

“If you go back in history, the 200-(week) MA retest is a great period to accumulate.

In the past six months, Bitcoin has been swimming beneath for a long period, making it the most undervalued since existence.

Next week is make-or-break. Fast breakout upwards -> end of correction.” 

At time of writing, the 200-week moving average is hovering at $26,283.

Van de Poppe also says that a reclaim of a key support level on the lower timeframe may ignite rallies for BTC. Failure to do so could see Bitcoin trading to as low as $26,000 before a bounce can take place.

“Classic choppy pattern on Bitcoin.

Rejects at $27,200 and consolidates, as CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) gap is also around $26,900.

Bitcoin needs to break and flip $27,200 if we want to see any sustained momentum.

Beneath us, at around $26,000-26,500 -> 200-week MA.” 

At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $26,665, down over 2% in the last 24 hours.
