There is reason to be confident in the BTC uptrend resuming at $49,000, says Decentrader’s Filbfilb.

Bitcoin (BTC) traders may be experiencing some “extreme panic,” but one analyst argues that practically all the technical metrics point to price upside.

Speaking to Cointelegraph on Dec. 16, Filbfilb, co-founder of trading platform Decentrader, listed more than 20 signs that bullish momentum should be next for Bitcoin.

“Enough there” for a Bitcoin upside breakout

BTC/USD gained with equities late Wednesday thanks to comments on policy from the United States Federal Reserve.

Reaching $49,300, the pair then began to consolidate below the $49,000 mark, a point at which it remains at the time of writing.

Sentiment, however, has yet to show any faith in the short-term future of BTC price action, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index at just 29/100 — something Filbfilb believes is misplaced.

“Basically looking at it, I think there is reason to think that there is enough there to think that we could break to the upside and I feel like no trading exposure doesn’t fit the analysis,” he summarized.

An accompanying list of bullish triggers numbered 21 items and included seller exhaustion, miner accumulation and a selection of on-chain metrics.

In the bearish camp, by contrast, were just four — the lost 20-week moving average, 50- and 100-day moving averages, bear signals on the 3-day chart and a “horrible” weekly chart.

One of them, the stochastic relative strength index (stoch RSI), has been proven to act as a bull flag at local bottoms throughout Bitcoin’s history.

For Jeff Ross, founder and managing director of Vailshire Capital Management, stoch RSI is now the chart to watch.
