On the day by day timeframe, BTC spent a lot of the late-year interval carving out a sideways-to-slightly-higher base after the sharp This autumn selloff. The chart explicitly labels that “Base” area, with value repeatedly holding a low-to-mid $80,000s floor area earlier than turning greater.

This value degree is of utmost significance for Bollinger.
