The pattern historically applied both breakouts and breakdowns.<\/p>\n<p>From May 1 to July 20, Bitcoin ranged between $8,800 to $9,800, stabilizing at around $9,100. After two months of consolidation, it took BTC 12 days to record a 32% rally to $12,123 on Binance.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the tendency of Bitcoin to see large volatility spikes after prolonged consolidation periods, Sorout <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/singhsoro\/status\/1317310478977179651?s=20\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cCalm before the storm.
