CoinSwitch Markets Desk said that BTC is currently trading around the $118,400 level and continues to move within a triangular consolidation pattern. At present, BTC is testing a key resistance trendline that has repeatedly capped its price from breaking out to new all-time highs above $123K.
While Bitcoin remains in a consolidation period, attention is shifting towards other coins. ETH recently surged to a seven-month high above $3,800. This sideways BTC action is contributing to a rotation of capital into altcoins, it added.
