With a momentary drop under $59k, Bitcoin formed a 24-hour low at $58,867. However, the quick reversal drove the BTC price back above $60k, resulting in a lower price rejection. 

Currently, the BTC price shows a symmetrical triangle in the 12-hour chart, holding the fate of the crypto market. Further, a bullish attempt at reversal at the $60k level lights a hope of a comeback.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

In the 12-hour chart, the BTC price action reveals a triangular pattern formation. Bitcoin hesitates to continue a bear cycle within the pattern as it takes upwards near the $60,459 level. 

With the possibility of a double-bottom reversal, the BTC price is trading at $60,115, struggling to sustain dominance above the psychological mark. Based on the Fibonacci levels, the BTC prices near the 50% level act as the baseline of the double-bottom pattern. 

Meanwhile, the daily RSI line reveals a minor divergence, supporting the double-bottom reversal thesis. In case of a reversal rally, the BTC price is expected to surpass the 61.80% Fibonacci level at $62,611 to challenge the overhead trendline. 

In case of a bullish breakout, the $69,579 is the next potential target. Meanwhile, a bearish continuation will test the $58,307 and lower support trendline.

S&P 500 At ATH Warns Bitcoin Correction

In a recent X post, Martinez Ali, a crypto analyst, highlighted a pattern between the Bitcoin price and the S&P 500. Currently, the S&P 500 is trading near its all-time high levels. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has seen a massive drop. 

The history between the S&P 500 and Bitcoin reveals this as a general pattern. In September 2018, when the S&P 500 peaked, Bitcoin had dropped by 68% in 2017-18. The pattern repeated in February 2020, when Bitcoin dropped 54% while the S&P 500 was trading at its all-time high. It repeated again in December 2021, with Bitcoin dropping 40%. Currently, BTC price is trading at a 33% low from its all-time high, with the S&P 500 continuing to make a new all-time high.

Conclusion

Amid the chances of a double-bottom reversal, the $60k support of Bitcoin witnesses massive supply tension. With a momentary drop under $59k levels last night, the BTC price is losing critical support levels. Hence, price action traders can find the breakout entry opportunity a safer option than speculative moves.
