“Bitcoin did provide a V-Shape recovery, through which this correction and crash due to Jump Trading selling crypto assets is comparable to COVID-19 --> A Black Swan,” MN Capital founder Michaël van de Poppe said in an Aug. 9 post on X.

In an earlier X post on Aug. 5, van de Poppe entertained the possibility of the recent crash to $49,577, defining the bottom for Bitcoin before it embarked on a V-shaped recovery back to pre-crash levels.

Bitcoin appears to be on a similar trajectory. It’s currently trading within the confines of the pattern at $60,431, 15% away from the pattern’s neckline.

However, not all crypto analysts are of the same opinion. Some believe there could be further downside before Bitcoin hits new all-time highs.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that BTC briefly touched the major resistance at $62,719, where the 50-day and 100-day exponential moving averages (EMAs) appear to converge on Aug. 9 before pulling back to $60,431 at the time of publication.

As earlier reported by Cointelegraph, Bitcoin was required to flip this barrier into support to avoid falling into the effects of a looming death cross.

Supplier congestion at $62,000 has become a key Bitcoin price resistance hurdle, as evidenced by data from IntoTheBlock. Its in/out of the money around price (IOMAP) model shows that Bitcoin faces relatively stiff resistance in its recovery path compared to the support it enjoys on the downside.
