Analyst Warns Of A “Final Scare”

An analyst by the name of Miles Deutscher noted that BTC is following a trend very similar to summer 2023. As such, he anticipates that there will be a “few more weeks of apathy,” followed by “a final scare” before a “massive expansion to the upside.”

The current $BTC price action is ridiculously similar to summer 2023 (basically the exact same fractal).

Pseudonymous trader Elja shared a short-term outlook in an Aug. 15 X post, and said that BTC is currently breaking down. His post included a picture of a bearish rising wedge pattern that formed on BTC’s 1-hour chart. He subsequently warned that that $56.5K-$57K level failing to hold could lead to the crypto king dumping to $54K.
