Following a brief overnight selloff that sent Bitcoin to lows of $9,200, the cryptocurrencyโ€™s bulls have been able to post a strong defense of this key support level and have subsequently rallied BTC back up to its 2020 highs of $9,500.

BTCโ€™s rally up to these levels elucidates that it is firmly in the control of buyers at the present and may signal that fresh year-to-date highs are imminent.

Now, one elusive technical indicator that has emerged during the start of previous parabolic rallies is flashing again, suggesting that BTC is about to see some massive gains.

Bitcoin pushes up against 2020 highs as bulls prevail over bearsย 

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading up just under one percent at its current price of $9,430, which marks a notable climb from daily lows of $9,200 that were set overnight.

This recent dip came about after bears posted a strong defense of the resistance that exists around BTCโ€™s current price levels, but their inability to spark any sort of sustainable downtrend seems to point to underlying weakness.

Analysts are noting that buyers’ intense defense of the recent selloff is something that is only seen in bull markets. Satoshi Flipper, a well-respected crypto trader on Twitter, spoke about this to his over 40k followers, saying:

This technical indicator suggests BTCโ€™s uptrend is about to turn parabolic

Another sign that Bitcoin is about to enter an intense bull market is the fact that the Blockroots Alpha trend just printed a long signal on BTCโ€™s three-day chart, with this signal only being seen on two occasions over the past several years.

Blockroots co-founder Josh Rager spoke about this signal in a recent tweet, noting that each of the two times it has flashed in the past have been followed by parabolic bull runs.

โ€œThe Blockroots Alpha trend just printed a โ€˜longโ€™ signal this week on the BTC 3D chart. The last two times โ€˜longโ€™ signaled: – Sept ’16 prior to the Bitcoin ATH – March 26, days before the $1000 candle and run to $13ks.โ€

While considering bullโ€™s response to recent attempted selloffs and the fact that elusive indicators like the Blockroots Alpha trend are beginning to flash bullish signs, it does appear to be increasingly likely that the cryptocurrency is about to see another massive upwards cycle.
