Supporting his bullish stance, the analyst pointed to the monthly moving average convergence divergence (MACD), a tool used to identify market trends, which he believes has entered a definitive bullish phase.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $34,743.83, up by about two percent in the last seven days. 

Earlier in October, the analyst said that the Ethereum-Bitcoin pair could be nearing the end of a significant wedge pattern. This could hint at a potential upward breakout early next year.
