Welcome to Extreme Investor Network, where we bring you the latest insights and analysis on the stock market, trading, and all things Wall Street. Today, we’re diving into the world of cryptocurrency, specifically focusing on Bitcoin’s recent price action.
As displayed in the chart above, Bitcoin experienced three major bearish signals as it dropped to a daily low of $56,719 on Thursday. Not only did this mark BTC’s lowest price levels in 127 days, dating back to Feb 28, but it also represented a decline of more than 10% from its peak earlier in the week. Perhaps most concerning is the fact that Bitcoin is now trading below the critical 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) price level, signaling a shift in market momentum towards the bears.
With the US Fed unlikely to cut rates following recent statements from Fed Chief Jerome Powell, the bearish sentiment surrounding Bitcoin and the crypto markets may continue to grow in the coming days. Rachael Lucas, a crypto analyst at Australia’s BTC Markets exchange, highlighted the importance of staying below the $60,000 resistance line, noting that it could lead to increased short-term volatility if Bitcoin fails to break through.
Adding to the volatility is the recent activity of whale investors and the governments of the USA and Germany, who have been reportedly dumping BTC. This, combined with payouts to Mt. Gox creditors, has contributed to Bitcoin’s recent price fluctuations.
