Bitcoin may head higher in the coming sessions based on its price action’s similarities with a fractal from June 2020. First spotted by TradingShot, an independent trading signals provider, the fractal boasts about a support level near $9,000 that stood firm between June 25 and July 21 this year. Traders attempted to break below the floor for 26-days straight but failed every time owing to a higher buying sentiment around it. Meanwhile, the same period saw a so-called “LMACD Squeeze.” Strong Bitcoin AccumulationIn retrospect, LMACD stands for Logarithmic Moving Average Convergence Divergence, a technical indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of an asset’s price. Meanwhile, the term ‘Squeeze’ points towards a big breakout move, based on Bitcoin’s historical reaction to the growing proximity between Signal Line and MACD output. The last occurrence of LMACD Squeeze coincided with Bitcoin’s consolidation above the $9,000 level. Later, the cryptocurrency underwent a massive breakout move towards $10,500. ![]() Bitcoin is looking to repeat the June 2020 fractal.

At the same time, it logged a similar LMACD Squeeze scenario, leading the chartist to expect a lengthy bull run ahead.
Conflicting MacrosThe statement also appeared as BTC/USD struggled to break above a technical price ceiling near $10,400 despite repeated attempts. The pair on Sunday briefly closed above $10,500 only to pare those gains entirely.

Tyler Winklevoss, the co-founder of US-based Gemini crypto exchange, cited the European Central Bank’s monetary policy meeting on Thursday to make a bullish case for the cryptocurrency.
Meanwhile, Kevin Svenson expressed his concerns over a bearish pullback in the US stock market. The analyst stated that a further correction in the S&P 500 would put Bitcoin en route to lower levels.
