Midterm Targets 

From a technical analysis standpoint, Bitcoin price, against the US dollar, has been forming a potential head and shoulders (H&S) pattern in the daily time frame. With the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) forming a bearish divergence, Bitcoin price is at the risk of a possible correction below $90k soon.

According to popular trader Peter Brandt, Bitcoin price could either be forming a H&S pattern, a bear-trap pattern or morph into a longer pattern. However, Brandt cautioned  BTC traders that the flagship coin has formed a classic H&S pattern with a target range of between $77.5k and $75,000.

Nonetheless, Brandt noted that if the BTC price consistently closes above $108k, a new trend will be confirmed in the near term.
