Bitcoin price is trading at around $48,500 after last night’s August monthly candle close at around $47,150. Each monthly close is especially memorable, but bulls have a chance to make this September a month to remember.

September closing red and with a bearish crossover could suggest that cryptocurrencies will come crashing down again soon enough. However, a display of strength from bulls could prevent the bearish crossover, and failed bearish signals tend to release an enormous amount of bullish energy.
