However, BTC must stay above the $72,000 price level for the pattern to play out.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin Following Megaphone Pattern \u2013 Time To Buy?<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier today, BTC tumbled below the critical $80,000 price level, hitting a low of $78,390 on the Binance cryptocurrency exchange. At the time of writing, the flagship digital asset has a total market cap of $1.57 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the recent <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-sell-off-losses-of-with-57-million-per-hour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">slump<\/a>, crypto analysts remain confident in BTC\u2019s long-term bullish outlook. Sharing a monthly trading chart, Merlijn The Trader highlighted that Bitcoin is following the broadening wedge, also known as the megaphone pattern.<\/p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, the megaphone pattern, or broadening wedge, is a technical chart formation where Bitcoin\u2019s price exhibits higher highs and lower lows, creating an expanding shape. This pattern signals increasing volatility and market indecision, typically preceding a strong breakout or breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>While there is a risk of BTC breaking down from its current range, historical trends suggest that the digital asset is likely to break out to a higher price range. The chart shows how BTC has historically broken to the upside \u2013 highlighted in green \u2013 from previous market cycle tops, successfully re-tested the breakout, and then entered a parabolic phase.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-417952 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/merlijn_ed7456.jpeg?resize=980%2C573\" alt=\"merlijn\" width=\"980\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/merlijn_ed7456.jpeg?w=1199 1199w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/merlijn_ed7456.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/merlijn_ed7456.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/merlijn_ed7456.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/merlijn_ed7456.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/merlijn_ed7456.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\"><\/p>\n<p>The chart also highlights that market cycle tops have typically coincided with an MVRV Z-Score trendline. Currently, the MVRV Z-Score is well below the red trendline, suggesting that BTC may still have room to rise before any significant correction.<\/p>\n<p>To explain, the MVRV Z Score for Bitcoin is a metric that compares the market value of BTC to its realized value, helping to identify overbought or oversold conditions. A high MVRV Z-score suggests Bitcoin may be overvalued, while a low score indicates it could be undervalued.<\/p>\n<p>According to the chart, BTC\u2019s current MVRV Z-Score is around 2. In the last three market cycles, this score has typically topped slightly above 4.<\/p>\n<h2>BTC Remains In Volatile Territory<\/h2>\n<p>Despite US President Donald Trump following through on his promises of creating a favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies and establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), the digital asset\u2019s price has <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-trump-strategic-reserve-order\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">failed<\/a> to reflect the positive developments.<\/p>\n<p>Experts believe that escalating tariff tensions and the possibility of a potential economic recession may be negatively affecting BTC\u2019s price action.
