Crypto analyst spotted this strong Bitcoin bullish harmonic structure in an advanced form.
The pattern is pointing towards a $32,000 BTC price as the next bull run target.
Yesterday, Bitcoin price reclaimed its critical $12,000 resistance before suddenly dropping by $500 in seconds to fill futures gap.
A bounce off $11,500 saves investors from serious pain but $12,000 remains a problematic level to flip to support.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets and Coin360 showed BTC/USD nosedive 4% during Monday trading, bouncing off $11,500 and since returning to $11,700.
In doing so, Bitcoin neatly filled the latest gap in CME Group’s Bitcoin futures markets, which lay just below $11,700.
A classic move, Cointelegraph predicted on the day that markets would likely attempt to go lower on short timeframes to fill the gap, in line with standard behavior.
The event caused a dramatic spike in liquidations on derivatives giant BitMEX, data from monitoring resource Skew confirms.
For Cointelegraph Markets analyst Michaël van de Poppe, the sudden dip suggested that Bitcoin was returning to the pattern of behavior seen in recent months.
“Smaller timeframe chart explaining what just happened. Essentially, we’re back into the ranging gameplan,” he told Twitter followers.
“Ranging” within a certain price corridor has become a feature of BTC/USD in 2020, with recent gains upending a protracted period, which slowly narrowed to point — a process known as compression.
Going forward, lower levels could see a retest, with significant support just above $10,000 still apt to form the price floor, Van de Poppe thinks.
“Larger timeframe; still expecting such a scenario,” he continued.
“If we break $12K however, I assume we’ll see $13k.”
Attention will thus now focus on bulls’ ability to cement $12,000 as a support zone, something which has yet to occur on any meaningful level for Bitcoin.
Nonetheless, the latest weekly close marked the highest since January 2018 and the initial fall from Bitcoin’s all-time highs of $20,000.

‘Capital Flight out of Asia Is Taking Bitcoin Express’ Says Max Keiser
Capital flight out of Asia is one of major reasons for Bitcoin (BTC) hitting new 2020 highs in August, a major Bitcoin advocate believes.
Max Keiser, a famous American broadcaster and known Bitcoin bull, is confident that rising tensions in Asia are one of factors for Bitcoin’s rally up to $12,000.
In an Aug. 10 tweet, Keiser argued that Bitcoin is a solid method to move big amounts of money abroad while crossing borders.
According to Keiser, a number of people in Asia are using Bitcoin to move their money out of the continent as geopolitical tensions risk affecting markets.
“Capital flight out of Asia taking the Bitcoin express,” Keiser wrote. Comparing Bitcoin to gold — one of the world’s most popular safe-haven assets, Keiser argued that Bitcoin is one of the few ways to move a fortune abroad. Keiser said, “You can’t take it with you, unless it’s Bitcoin – then you can take IT ALL with you. (Something near impossible with gold).”
The news comes amid reports of Chinese citizens illegally crossing into the United States with $28,000 worth of gold bars.

Bybit Stops Operating in France Due to Regulatory Challenges
Bybit, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, has announced its decision to cease operations in France due to recent regulatory developments. Effective August 2, 2024, Bybit will restrict all accounts held by French residents to a “Close-Only” mode, preventing new positions from being opened or new funds from being deposited. This move comes in response to the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), France’s financial regulator, which has been tightening its oversight of cryptocurrency platforms.
The AMF had previously blacklisted Bybit in 2022, citing the exchange’s failure to register as a Digital Asset Services Provider (DASP). This blacklisting has now culminated in Bybit’s decision to exit the French market. The exchange has instructed its French users to close all open positions and withdraw their assets by August 13, 2024, after which any remaining positions will be automatically liquidated.
Bybit’s departure from France highlights the increasing regulatory scrutiny faced by cryptocurrency exchanges in Europe. The AMF’s actions are part of a broader effort to curb illicit activities such as money laundering and to protect retail investors. Bybit has expressed its intention to return to the French market once it secures the necessary regulatory licenses.
This development is a significant blow to Bybit, which had recently surpassed Coinbase to become the world’s second-largest exchange by trading volume. The exchange’s exit from France underscores the challenges that cryptocurrency platforms face in navigating complex regulatory environments. As the industry continues to evolve, exchanges like Bybit will need to adapt to ensure compliance and maintain their market positions.
