Bitcoin - BTCUSD is headed to new lows!
Mis à jour
Over the weekend, Bitcoin's deceitful price action left many bulls hoping for a bounce on a Monday. Indeed, many analysts rushed to forecast another bottom and continuation of the rally, basing their calls merely on little gains during Saturday and Sunday. However, right after the futures market opened, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies quickly erased their early gains.
At this point, Bitcoin erased approximately half of its recent rally. It is currently down about 17% from its peak on 15th August 2022 (when we argued that the top of the bear market rally was in). Today, we maintain the same notion and are extremely bearish in the short term. Indeed, several technical developments support our opinion and point to the impending acceleration of the selloff.
As for the medium-term and long-term outlook, fundamental factors like higher interest rates, quantitative tightening, and the global economy slowing down do not allow us to change our bearish view.
Now, we will pay close attention to the support level at 20 700 USD. If it is broken to the downside, that will further bolster the bearish case for BTCUSD. Additionally, we will watch a volume level; ideally, we would like to see more build-up in it, accompanying further price drop.
In accordance with our outlook, we maintain price targets for BTCUSD at 17 500 USD and 15 000 USD.
