Bitcoin price poised to rise 25%
Bitcoin price action has entered into some consolidation on its $500/3-box reversal Point and Figure chart. As a result, a bull flag has now developed with a setup that could trigger a significant breakout move above a triple-top.
A hypothetical long entry for Bitcoin price with a buy stop order at $52,500, a stop loss at $50,500, and a profit target at $62,500. This trade idea represents a 5:1 reward for the risk. In addition, a two to three-box trailing stop would help protect any implied profit post entry.

The long idea is invalid if the Bitcoin price drops below $48,500. A drop to $49,500 would create a Bear Trap pattern, while a drop to $49,000 would create a Bearish Fakeout pattern. Those patterns would increase the positive expectancy post-entry at $52,500.
