Bitcoin's 45 percent month-on-month rally has likely put the leading cryptocurrency on the path to a long-term bull market, technical studies indicate.
A month ago, it was all gloom and doom in the bitcoin market, perhaps warranted, as the cryptocurrency had created back-to-back long-term bearish chart patterns in the month of May and June.
The convincing break above $8,000 seen this week appears to have set the stage for a long-term bull market.
What we have is an upside break of the four-month-long falling channel, i.e. a long-term bearish-to-bullish trend change.
Still, there is merit in being cautious as the above chart also shows a bearish relative strength index divergence, which could yield a price pullback.
