Recently, the cryptocurrency quietly broke above them, showing that the bulls are starting to gain control.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the fact that BTC has managed to hold in the low-$9,000s for an extended period of time, despite the fact that it would make sense for Bitcoin to retrace further after last month&#8217;s historic 42% rally from $7,300 to $10,200, has been deemed bullish by a number of analysts.<\/p>\n<p>Josh Olszewicz, an analyst at Brave New Coin, for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CarpeNoctom\/status\/1190784966327554048\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">argued<\/a> in a recent tweet that the alligator<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/trading\/072115\/exploring-williams-alligator-indicator.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">\u00a0indicator<\/a>, an indicator that uses three smoothed moving averages to determine trends, is starting to show that Bitcoin is building strength, having gone as far as to signal a long entry.<\/p>\n<p>Olszewicz then\u00a0noted that the cryptocurrency has recently broken above a triangle. The measured move of that breakout implies that Bitcoin will top in the $11,300 to $12,300 range, where the middle line of one of the analyst\u2019s pitchfork channels lies.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone is convinced though. An analyst recently noted that Bitcoin\u2019s Stochastic indicator, which is an oscillating \u201cmomentum indicator comparing a particular closing price of a security to a range of its prices over a certain period of time (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/s\/stochasticoscillator.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">Investopedia<\/a>),\u201d is showing that BTC is leaning bearish in the short run.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the indicator recently saw an array of bearish crossover on an array of time frames \u2014 the one-hour, two-hour, three-hour, four-hour, and even the one-day.
