A cryptocurrency analyst has highlighted how Bitcoin has been trading inside a 
Triangle that could set up a 15% move for the asset. Bitcoin Is Potentially 
Consolidating Inside A Symmetrical Triangle In a new post on X, analyst Ali 
Martinez has talked about a technical analysis (TA) pattern that Bitcoin has 
been trading inside recently. The pattern in question is a &#8220;Triangle,&#8221; which 
is a type of consolidation channel that, as its name suggests, has a 
triangular shape. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bearish Momentum Losing Steam? 
Analyst Flags Key Metric The pattern is characterized by two converging 
trendlines. The lower of these is considered likely to be a point of support 
for the price, while the upper one that of resistance. A break out of either 
of these bounds can imply a continuation of trend in that direction. Triangles 
can be of a few different types based on the orientation of the trendlines 
with respect to each other and the graph axes. In an Ascending Triangle, the 
upper level is parallel to the time-axis. Similarly, the lower level being 
parallel creates a Descending Triangle. When both trendlines approach each 
other at a roughly equal and opposite slope, the pattern formed is known as a 
&#8220;Symmetrical Triangle.&#8221; The Triangle shared by Martinez that Bitcoin has been 
trading inside is the closest to this type. Below is a chart that shows the 
trajectory in cryptocurrency&#8217;s hourly price inside the pattern at the time of 
the post. As is visible in the graph, the 1-hour Bitcoin price found a bounce 
from the lower level of the triangular channel shortly before the post. Since 
then, however, BTC has seen some decline, which has taken it below the support 
line. This could be a potential indication that a breakout is occurring. In 
the post, Martinez had noted that the Triangle could set up a potential 15% 
move for the asset. This figure is based on the fact that Triangle breakouts 
are generally assumed to end up being of the same length as the height of the 
channel at the point where the trendlines are the furthest apart. Related

If the latest price drop indeed reflects a break out of the pattern for 
Bitcoin, then this 15% move could possibly follow to the downside. Symmetrical 
Triangles tend to have an equal probability of a breakout occurring in either 
direction, since there is roughly an equal bias both up and down. This time, 
however, it would appear that the bearish direction might be the one in store 
for BTC. BTC Price Bitcoin has dropped to the $66,300 mark following its drop
