A veteran technical trader is comparing Bitcoin’s recent surge to the start of the massive bull run that brought the price of BTC to an all-time high of nearly $20,000 on December 17, 2017.

A new tweet from Peter Brandt, who became a legend among crypto traders for accurately predicting the Bitcoin bear market in January of 2018, is going viral. Brant highlights a technical indicator – Factor’s benchmark weekly moving average (MA) – and compares Bitcoin’s current price action to its movements starting in November 2015 leading up to $19,800.

Meanwhile, in a new note to clients, Fundstrat analyst Robert Sluymer says he sees Bitcoin at “the early stage of a longer-term recovery,” reports Bloomberg.

“While it’s premature to conclude Bitcoin will not retest support near $4,300, we would encourage traders and investors to remain focused on the bullish longer-term technical profile developing. Bottom line: use recent weakness to accumulate.”
