Another Red Weekly Close For Bitcoin, Why A Rebound Is On The Horizon
Bitcoin had been able to break out of its red streak earlier in the year after making 11 consecutive red weekly closes. With the market recovery, the digital asset had begun to return some green weekly closes. That is until the market correction, and bitcoin lost about $4,000 off the top of its value. This resulted in a weekly close for the prior week, and even though it looked like a recovery might be on the horizon, bitcoin has recorded another red weekly close.

Within the last couple of weeks, bitcoin had seen some incredible movements that had returned faith in the market. The cryptocurrency had risen as high as $25,200 before being beaten back down by the bears. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency continues to maintain a strong bullish trend, although at a much lower price level.
Due to the retracement back down from $25,200, the digital asset had recorded its second consecutive red close. Two red weekly closes are no cause for alarm for a highly volatile digital asset such as bitcoin, but it has often set a precedent in the past. An example of this is back at the beginning of April when the asset had seen two consecutive red weekly closes. It would go on to see another 9 red closes, the longest in the history of bitcoin.
However, looking at other times when the digital asset had seen such trends, it had not spent too long in it. One example of this is back in June when the market had declined to $17,600. It was the second consecutive red weekly close, but the reversal was swift.
