BTC poised for a bullish trend, according to Altcoin Sherpa
Meanwhile, a cryptocurrency trader named Altcoin Sherpa (@AltcoinSherpa) tweeted this morning that Bitcoin Cash is almost ready to form a bullish 1D exponential moving average trend. A positive 1D EMA trend has not been seen in the market since November 2021, according to the comment made by the trader.
$BTC: I want to reemphasize that we have not seen a bullish 1D EMA trend since November of 2021.
We just about have one now.
We also haven't seen a 1D close above 25k since June 2022.
We could see that today.
Send it to 30k if so.#Bitcoin #BTC pic.twitter.com/bWYnqpKKsm

The dealer hoped today to see Bitcoin (BTC) achieve a 1D close of over $25,000, which has not occurred since June 2022. If this scenario played out, the trader predicted that Bitcoin would rise to $30,000.
