Chapter 16 – Bitcoin/USD Volatility – Higher Highs and Higher Lows

Higher Highs and Lower Lows

Higher highs and higher lows are significant patterns in Bitcoin/USD trading that indicate bullish sentiment and a potential uptrend. These patterns are characterized by Bitcoin reaching new USD price peaks (higher highs) and new price troughs (higher lows) that are higher than the previous ones.

Higher Highs

Higher highs occur when Bitcoin reaches new USD price peaks that are higher than the previous ones. This suggests increasing buying pressure and a strong upward momentum. For example, Bitcoin might drop to a certain level but then recover to a new high, indicating that buyers are willing to pay more for the asset.

Higher Lows

Higher lows happen when Bitcoin’s price troughs are higher than the previous lows. This shows that even during a potential downturn, the asset is finding support at higher levels, indicating a strengthening upward trend. For instance, Bitcoin might fall to a certain level but then bounce back to a higher low, suggesting that sellers are losing control and buyers are stepping in at higher price points.
