Over the past few days, analysts have begun flipping bullish on Bitcoin (BTC), claiming that the asset is on the verge of bursting higher after the brutal bear market that has destroyed bulls over the past few months.

Despite this shift in sentiment, a prominent analyst has asserted that it is wise to keep a close eye on the cryptocurrency charts, for he is observing that BTC is on the verge of doom due to a confluence of historical technical factors. Doom, he suggests, means Bitcoin will collapse all the way to $1,000, as the maintaining of current levels will indicate that BTC still has long-term upward momentum.

Velvet, a trader who called the latest decline to the $6,000s weeks ago when Bitcoin was trading at $8,000, recently noted that BTC is on the verge of doom.

In the tweet seen below, through which Velvet conveyed his analysis, it was depicted that Bitcoin is trading just a smidgen above the 100-week moving average (currently at $7,000), which is a level that the cryptocurrency has always trended above during bull markets. Thats not to mention that the one-week Relative Strength Index and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence are sitting on key historical supports, which acted as barriers to bear markets.

He claims that if these levels are lost on a macro basis and Bitcoin drops to the $5,000s as a number of cryptocurrency traders expect, it will confirm we have lost momentum to the upside, confirming an Elliot Wave analysis C-Wave that will bring the asset to $1,000 with time.

If Bitcoin holds the current levels, he expects the asset to rally to $20,000 170% higher than current levels by March as illustrated in a previous report from this outlet.

Unfortunately for bulls, there is some evidence to suggest that bears could gain the upper hand if they dont already have it that is.

Analyst CryptoThies recently noted that despite the strong nearly 15% recovery from the depths of $6,400, his indicator, dubbed MarketGod, is still printing a sell signal on the December candle.

He notes that MarketGod has called these macro trends 4/4 in the past six years of Bitcoin prices history, making the latest sell signal rather potent, for it implies that there are months more downside ahead.

Thats not to mention that the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) a much-used trend following indicator used to determine directionality in markets on the one-month Bitcoin chart recently crossed bearish, with the blue (MACD) line crossing below the orange (signal) line.

This bearish crossover was last seen in June/July of 2018, preceding and predicting the abovementioned 50% decline seen at the end of last year.
