COINOTAG News, on December 18, cited cryptocurrency analyst @alicharts noting that Bitcoin is breaking out of a flag consolidation pattern, a setup that traders monitor for potential trend continuation. The claim underscores a shift in near‑term momentum and highlights the importance of price action in the coin’s latest move.
If the breakout is confirmed by sustained closes above the flag’s upper boundary and accompanying volume, a $70,000 target remains in play for bulls, with risk controls in place for any retest of the breakout area around key moving averages.
Traders should prioritize risk management, including predefined stop losses and position sizing, while watching macro cues and liquidity conditions that could influence follow‑through beyond the initial breakout.
