Over the past few days, Bitcoin has started to trend higher; since hitting $8,400 last weekend, the price of the leading cryptocurrency rallied as high as $9,250 on Saturday morning.

Although there are many optimists saying that this price action is a precursor to even greater gains — Bloomberg suggested that BTC could soon hit $10,600 — two analyses from two prominent cryptocurrency traders show that Bitcoin will likely return to $8,400 in the coming weeks.

Bitcoin Likely to Return to $8,400, 2 Analyses Show

Prominent cryptocurrency trader Hsaka recently shared the below charts, showing that there are eerie similarities between a four-hour Bitcoin chart from October 2019 and a two-hour chart from this month.

Both charts have a defined trading range, a descending channel within the range, a rally out of that channel to another descending channel, and a range deviation with a static top. The only thing that the historical chart has that the current chart doesn’t is a downtrend to retest the bottom of the range.

— Hsaka (@HsakaTrades) March 7, 2020 It isn’t only Hsaka’s fractal that suggests Bitcoin will soon return to $8,400.

Dave the Wave, the trader who predicted a retracement to $6,400 when the asset was rallying above $10,000, recently showed that BTC is on track to hit $8,400 in the coming weeks, likely in April.

A chart accompanying this forecast suggests that Dave expects this to happen because Bitcoin falling to the local lows will satisfy its repeating pattern of occasionally revisiting a long-term curve that has predicted BTC’s overall trajectory for the past two years. Fundamentals Remain Long-Term Bullish

Fears of short-term weakness aside, the fundamentals of Bitcoin remain decisively positive, analysts have said.

Just this week, data from Blockchain.com showed that the hash rate of the Bitcoin network reached a new all-time high of 136 exahashes (or 136,000,000 terahashes) per second — nearly three times higher than it was one year ago.

RookieXBT noted on Tuesday that the hash rate is almost “~940% from where it was when BTC was at an all-time high” of $20,000. This, RookieXBT wrote, is a sign that “Bitcoin has never been more bullish.” #Bitcoin hash-rate up almost ~940% from where it was at when $BTC's price was at an all-time high.

Halvening is mere months away.

This move allows banks to facilitate banking transactions with crypto industry entities (namely Bitcoin exchanges) once again, “removing a major hurdle for the development of the sector,” as put by Reuters.
