Bitcoins (BTC) price could see a bullish trend reversal and propel the next leg up if the popular trading indicator known as the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern is confirmed, according to a crypto trader.

If we dont break straight through $67.5k then something like this forming over the next month would make sense for a bottom pattern reversal, crypto trader Matthew Hyland explained in a May 4 post on X.

He is referring to the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern a bullish indicator that signals the downtrend is easing, and buyers are becoming more dominant in the market.

It would be a great setup to propel the next leg up, he declared.

Although it is crucial that Bitcoin holds above its short-term holder price of $59,500 to maintain its bullish trend, pseudonymous crypto analyst and co-founder of CMCC Crest Willy Woo told his 1.1 million X followers on May 3.

The setup appears when Bitcoins price forms three troughs below a so-called neckline resistance, with the middle otherwise known as the head deeper than the left and right shoulder.

Bitcoins price has slightly rebounded from the head at $58,614 on May 1, and if the pattern continues as Hylands model suggests, it will find support around its second shoulder, at $60,000 a key support level.

The decline would represent a 5% from its current price of $63,350, according to CoinMarketCap data. Dropping to this level would liquidate $530 million in long positions, according to CoinGlass data.

According to Hylands model, Bitcoin may rise above the neckline and exceed its current all-time high of $73,800 by June.

On top of this, buyer interest in the crypto market is slowly increasing, according to the Fear and Greed Index.

The index is currently sitting on a Greed score of 69, a major recovery from three days ago when it indicated Fear with a score of 43.

Meanwhile, some traders expect Bitcoins price to remain stagnant in the near term, but they dont necessarily view this as a bearish signal.

The longer the Bitcoin consolidation takes, the higher its price will meet the trendline, added pseudonymous crypto trader Titan of Crypto.

Bitcoins previous cycle all-time highs tend to slow down price and make Bitcoin stall for some weeks, pseudonymous crypto trader Daan Crypto Traders told his X followers in a May 4 post.
