Bitcoin (BTC) volatility is again overdue, and one analyst is favoring an “impulsive” move toward $50,000.

Trader: “Chill and wait” for Bitcoin breakout
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD continuing to circle $46,000 on Thursd as an eerie calm lingered over the market.
Tuesday saw mass upheaval as a cascade of unwound positions sparked a huge $9,000 daily loss for Bitcoin, something analysts have since pinned on overleveraged traders.
While the event’s lows of $42,800 have not been retested, a breakdown is not off the cards, popular trader Crypto Ed says.
“Looks like a bullish pennant to me…Impulsive bounce followed by consolidation,” he summarized alongside an updated chart Wednesday.
“Chill and wait for the break out. Wrong when it breaks down.”

With expectations thus skewed to the upside, fellow trader and analyst Rekt Capital eyed an ongoing retest of Bitcoin’s 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) as a potential game-changer.
“This is the first time that BTC is retesting the blue 50-day EMA as support, after having reclaimed it as support in late July,” he noted.
“The 50-day EMA is useful for understanding bullish momentum as it tends to support established uptrends.”

Altcoins recover as Solana passes $200
Improved performance across major altcoins, meanwhile, is giving hope to the bullish short-term case for Bitcoin.

Still outshining the pack, however, is Solana (SOL), now trading above $200 on 32% gains in just 24 hours.
