The Bird Beak Sign is a distinct chart pattern that resembles a beak and is created when the Heikin Ashi candlesticks cluster together in a tight consolidated range. Typically when a cryptocurrency consolidates, it means that its price is stabilizing before a potential rally upwards. In the case of Bitcoin, the recent Bird Beak pattern suggests consolidation is preceding an upward momentum. 

The analyst notes that in the past when Bitcoin showed the Bird Beak sign on the daily Heikin Ashi chart, it was followed by a strong uptrend. This upward movement was represented by multiple green candles, which showed upward movement. 

Sharing a price chart, Trader Tardigrade disclosed that on 2nd January 2023, a Bird Beak sign had appeared in the Bitcoin chart, triggering a price surge to $23,250 at the time. This same chart pattern was also observed on the 7th and 25th of February, 2024, with Bitcoin skyrocketing to $52,000 and reaching between $71,000 to $72,000, respectively.  

Trader Tardigrade has revealed that the present Bird Beak sign seen in Bitcoin’s Heikin Ashi chart formed on 27 October 2024. Based on these past signs, analysts have predicted that the new Bird Beak pattern could lead to another sharp increase for Bitcoin, potentially pushing its price to $114,000 this month. 

Analyst Expects Bitcoin Price To Hit $71,000 First

In a more recent X post, Trader Tardigrade revealed that Bitcoin was breaking out of a Symmetrical Triangle at the tip of its 8-hour Heikin Ashi chart.  Based on this new symmetrical triangle pattern, the analyst forecasts that a successful breakout could lead to a rally towards the $71,000 price target for Bitcoin.

Veteran on-chain analyst Willy Woo says that altcoins will get continuously less explosive over time as the crypto market matures.

Woo tells his 1.1 million followers on the social media platform X that the current market cycle has been “markedly different” from the others given that it is the third time that altcoins are reaching for mindshare since 2017.

Rather than being focused on decentralized finance (DeFi) or some kind of technological innovation, Woo says that the current altcoin hype is mostly focused on memes, which he believes is a poor take on the crypto space.

Says the analyst,

“I’m not saying there won’t be alt seasons. Certainly there will be echo fractals of mid-caps and low-caps pumping after BTC pumps as investors chase returns higher up on the risk curve. This is a normal part of markets and we see this in equities. Just alt seasons will be weaker each cycle on from the great 2017 alt bubble.

Also, remember alt market cap is like the cricket bat that has had 10 new handles and 10 new blades, it’s the sum of all the new winners… losers don’t count to the market cap.

Trade it sure, if you want to play… don’t ever HODL (hold on for dear life) them unless you’re so knowledgeable that you’re an effective insider because alts are an insider’s game just like the casino where the house will eventually win. But you already know that.”

At time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) dominance (BTC.D), which compares the market cap of Bitcoin to all other crypto assets, is valued at 59.38%, a three-and-a-half-year high.
