Bitcoin price has been forming higher highs and higher lows since February 2024. While this shows a long-term uptrend, the analyst’s chart patterns indicate another potential correction toward the $51,000 trendline before the next leg up.
Furthermore, Bitcoin Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap analysis points to a potential correction to $54,000, based on the current BTC CME gap between $54,000 and $54,450.
