Therefore, by combining the two indicators, we believe if the weekly line breaks meaningfully above the middle band while the ATR indicator also reverses and breaks through – then it means that BTC will enter a strong upward phase, and it is advisable to enter the market at an appropriate time. Meanwhile, the ATR (average true range) indicator has emerged from a long-term downtrend but is still at a low point in the cycle, indicating that the market is still in consolidation. It seems that BTC is still in a post-rebound consolidation phase at the weekly level.

Judging from the DC indicator, the weekly line of BTC still goes below the middle band of $320,000 and it has been slightly fluctuating for over two weeks after the strong rebound. When prices break below the lower band, traders might interpret it as a sell trade. When prices break above the upper band, traders might interpret it as a buy trade. The indicator is helpful for determining buy and sell signals. When the prices are stable, the DCs will be relatively narrow, and when there is heavy price fluctuation, the indicator channels will be wider. The indicator consists of an upper band, a lower band and a middle band which usually represents the 20-day high, 20-day low and the average, respectively. We applied the DC (Donchian channel) indicator to assess the volatility of the market. Into a new quarter, BTC is also entering a new journey in terms of weekly and monthly lines.
