While still below both 2024 and 2021 all-time highs, Bitcoin nonetheless excited market observers, with popular pseudonymous trader Moustache highlighting two trendlines in particular.
“Golden Cross (12h-Chart) of $BTC is imminent,” he told followers in part of one of his latest posts on X (formerly Twitter).
A golden cross occurs when a shorter-term moving average crosses above a longer-term equivalent, with the last occurrence in October last year — just before Bitcoin put in the bulk of its latest gains.
“The last bullish cross was over six months ago. Bitcoin has risen by over 170% since then,” Moustache added.

Fellow trader Titan of Crypto suggested that the Ichimoku Cloud indicator may copy the trend.
“BTC seems to be repeating the same pattern from early 2024,” part of an X post read on May 16, adding that BTC/USD put in upside of more than 60% when Ichimoku requirements were last met.

Continuing, Titan of Crypto was among those noting a transfer of $60,000 from resistance to support.
