Bitcoin may aim to retest a key moving average before reaching new record highs, according to CryptoQuant analysis.
CryptoQuant’s Market Cycle Signals tool indicates that Bitcoin’s price action is mirroring past patterns, suggesting a potential move toward a significant 20‑month trend line.
Trend line context
The 20‑month moving average has historically acted as a support level for BTC, and a retest could signal a shift in momentum as the market approaches fresh highs.
Should Bitcoin successfully reclaim this trend line, it may set the stage for a new rally, while a failure could prompt a brief pullback and increased volatility.
