Crypto index analysis

The Crypto Index has continued its recent recovery, following an early month sell-off over the BitMEX exchange news, with a brief drop below the 50,000 support level.

Crypto Index analysis shows that multiple wedge patterns are forming, suggesting that a powerful technical breakout is on the horizon.

Crypto Index medium-term price trend

The crypto index has remained capped below its key 200-day moving average for over one month now.

Crypto Index technical analysis over the medium term shows that the index is trapped inside a massive broadening-wedge pattern.

According to technical analysis, the wedge pattern is now located between the 43,000 and 77,000 levels. 

Crypto Index analysis

Until the index starts to stabilize above its 200-day moving average, then the chances of the price reaching the bottom of the mentioned wedge pattern are high.

If bulls can manage a recovery above the 200-day moving average, around the 57,000 area, then the chances of a rally towards the top of the wedge are dramatically increased.
