Why Bitcoin Is Unlikely to Top HereOne cryptocurrency trader thinks that it’s unlikely that Bitcoin is forming a macro high here despite the assertions of skeptics. The trader in question pointed to the relatively mild futures market, which suggests that longs are not overleveraged as they were in June of 2019 or earlier this year in February:
This trader isn’t the only one who doesn’t think that Bitcoin is nearing a macro high. As reported by Bitcoinist previously, one analyst noted that per a proprietary indicator he uses, which prints signals above 400 when a macro top is near, the market is likely preparing for another leg higher:

Chart from TradingView.com Could A Drop Take Place?Although Bitcoin may not be forming a macro top at current price levels, that’s not to say that a drop is impossible. Analysts say that there’s a likelihood BTC reverts to the $10,500 or $9,500 level before returning to the uptrend it has been entrenched in since the middle of May. One trader recently argued that there’s a good likelihood Bitcoin drops towards the $9,000s before moving higher. The reason why he made this assertion was that in previous bull markets, BTC regularly underwent strong retracements of 30-40%, then moved higher on a macro time frame. Pullbacks in the short term do not always invalidate the longer-term trend of an asset. In the trader’s words:

When longs are overleveraged, the market is incentivized to liquidate those longs to normalize the market.
