He stated that the long-term trend was up, characterized by a series of higher lows. The prices are at critical levels for BTC. The 9500 limit was deemed as a key and critical limit for the price.

He said:

“Long-term trend is up. If we define a trend by a series of higher lows, with higher lows all the way through.”

In the short term, the 15 Day Moving Average serves as a good proxy for the general trend. He also stated that the trend was ripe for a breakout as it has already demonstrated the first phase.

Sluymer said that the trend has already exhibited the bottoming-out phase as evidenced by the sideways movement for the past 15 days. The next phase involves reversing the current up or down trend before gaining a positive trend.

He also stated that the price is challenging the current downtrend and the setup is ready for a breakout. He pointed out that the 15 DMA served as a good proxy for the trend in April.

The $7530 and the $7500 limits must hold, as they are crucial limits for the next move into the uptrend.

A crypto enthusiast said:

“This makes me chuckle there is always someone saying breakout soon. Know one really does no it’s just sooner or later someone will time it right.”

“We have been heading this way for a while. Let’s see what the markets do today. Interesting times!”
