Perhaps the shortage of new highs makes us blind to see what the BTC is doing. I think the answer is in the recent lows; If we look closely we see a possible cup and handle pattern in formation. Normally when a resistance is very strong, the price action suggests that only time will be able to break it, and it is common in the markets to see the formation of a cup since it is the only pattern capable of generating the necessary volume accumulation.
