A golden crossover occurs when a technical indicator of 50 MA(moving average) slope moves above 200 MA. This event is interpreted as a bullish signal by many traders, suggesting that the trend has changed and the coin is likely to move higher.
Previously, the golden crossover in Bitcoin price was observed on 14th September 2021 , after which the prices reached 50% higher and hit All time high of $68,789. 
Before that, the golden crossover occurred on 20th May 2020, which, along with the bull trend, carried the Bitcoin price 700% higher to reach the $64758 top. However, on 18th Feb 2020 , the daily chart showed the same crossover but failed to trigger a significant rally.
Furthermore, a golden crossover on 20th April 2019 surged the BTC price 162% higher to hit a high of $13963 in just two months.
Back to the present , the daily chart shows the 50-and-200-day MAs are on the verge of golden crossover again, increasing the likelihood of uptrend continuation. If Bitcoin sustains this crossover, the coin holders may enjoy a strong uptrend until they receive their first threat of price breakdown below the 50-day MA.

By the press time, the Bitcoin price trades at $23388 and continues to resonate within the rising wedge pattern. However, if the selling pressure persists, the coin price will plunge lower and challenge the support trendline of the pattern.
A daily candle closing below the trendline will accelerate the selling pressure and poise Bitcoin for a longer correction. This downfall could tumble the Bitcoin price 8-12.5% to revisit the $21500 or $20400 support.
Anyhow, this bearish pullback is essential for coin holders as it will neutralize the excess buying and replenish bullish momentum. If the coin price shows sustainability above the aforementioned support, the sided-lined buyers could grab a pullback opportunity.
