U.Today – Renowned macro expert and cryptocurrency advocate Raoul Pal broke the news today with his latest (BTC) prediction. Pal, CEO of Real Vision, drew attention with his provocative statement that BTC is poised to break out of a technical pattern known as a “cup with handle” and enter what he calls a “banana zone.”
What does that even mean?
Sam Pal coined the term “Banana Zone” to describe a phase of extreme and rapid price increases in the cryptocurrency market. This phase is characterized by exponential price increases, widespread market euphoria, and high volatility, although it is usually short-lived. During this period, most cryptocurrencies see significant gains, reflecting the most bullish phase of the cryptocurrency market.
The “cup with handle” pattern is a classic chart pattern used in technical analysis that typically indicates a bullish continuation. The pattern resembles a cup with a rounded bottom, followed by a period of consolidation that forms a “handle.” A breakout from this pattern often signals a significant move higher, which Pal believes could push Bitcoin into the Banana zone.
Bitcoin Price Outlook
Currently, the price of BTC is $69,000. What was previously an all-time high is now seen as just a milestone for the price of the major cryptocurrency. The price of BTC reached $70,000 today – a milestone not seen since June 12.
If the Banana Zone scenario is to actually happen, the numbers for Bitcoin’s price are mind-boggling. But predicting something certain in the cryptocurrency market is rarely a good idea.
