According to a recent Bloomberg report, a bearish rising wedge pattern indicates that Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, could face more losses.
When the aforementioned pattern is accompanied by declining trading volume, it usually means a continuation of the bearish trend.

Notably, the same exact pattern was formed earlier during the second quarter. It was the harbinger of a 40% correction that brought Bitcoin as low as $17,600 last month. The cryptocurrency's performance was so atrocious that it actually recorded its worst quarter in more than a decade.

As reported by U.Today, the Bloomberg MLIV Pulse survey showed that Bitcoin was likely to plunge to the $10,000 level, according to the majority of retail and institutional investors. Concerns about the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary tightening remain the main reason behind this persistent bearish pressure.
In the meantime, former BitMEX CEO has doubled down on his too-good-to-be-true $1 million price prediction after the euro came close to reaching parity with the dollar. He previously said that the largest cryptocurrency would be able to reach that target by 2030.
