Bitcoin Drops Below 4-Hour MA – Bearish Trend Ahead?

Following a pullback, the price of Bitcoin has continued on its downward movement. The coin, after failing to break above the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the trend line has experienced a drop of over 6% from its previous high.

Will the price of BTC continue to move in a downward direction or will it reverse and start moving in an upward direction?

As of the time of writing, the price of BTC was trading around $62,972 which is about 28% down from its all-time high and was down by 1.27% in the last 24 hours. Although the price is trading below the 100 SMA on the 4-hour chart, on the daily chart it is still trading above the 100 SMA.

Current Condition Of Indicators And What They Suggest

Looking at the chart, technically a support level and a resistance level of $59,653 and  $67,255 were formed respectively. However, there could be more support and resistance levels created if the price continues to move downward.

Bitcoin

4-Hour Moving Average: A technical observation of the chart from the 4-hour timeframe as seen in the image below reveals that the price is trending below the 100-day moving average. This suggests that the price is on a downtrend and could potentially move further downward.

4-Hour RSI indicator: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator here suggests a downward trend as the RSI signal has crossed and is trending below the 50% line as observed on the above chart.

Bitcoin

The MACD indicator from the 4-hour chart also suggests that the price might continue to move downward as the MACD histograms are trending below the zero line. Both the MACD line and the Signal line have crossed and are trending below the MACD zero line, indicating a bearish trend, as seen in the above image.

Possible Outcome

With the setup of the above indicators, it can be suggested that the price of Bitcoin is still bearish and that there are possibilities that it could still move further downward.

If Bitcoin continues downward and breaks below the support level of $59,653, it could witness a deep correction to create a new support level. However, if the price fails to break below this support level, it could start an upward correctional movement towards its previous level of $67,255 and if it manages to break above this level, the price will begin an uptrend.

Analysts Identify Key Scenario For Bitcoin Hitting $100,000

Prior to the Bitcoin Halving event, BTC’s price saw considerable instability, but it has since rebounded, reaching the $66,000 level, triggering bullish predictions from top crypto analysts regarding the coin’s future path.

Captain Faibik, a crytocurrency analyst and trader, has emerged with an intriguing prediction, underscoring a narrative that could potentially propel the price of Bitcoin to the coveted $100,000 mark in the upcoming months.

Bitcoin Poised For A Notable Rally To $100,000 

According to Captain Faibik, Bitcoin has managed to hold the $60,000 support level in the wake of bullish investors in the market. As a result, the largest crypto asset by market cap is currently making a strong comeback.

These bullish investors, according to Faibik must reclaim the crucial $72,000 resistance level in order to see a major rally to the $100,000 price level. This scenario acts as a ray of hope for the cryptocurrency community, igniting speculations and influencing projections about Bitcoin’s potential for future growth. Given the anticipated impact of the Bitcoin Halving and bulls, the $72,000 level could be realized in the short term.

Bitcoin

The expert previously highlighted that the Bitcoin weekly candle closed above the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) 10, demonstrating that the bulls are still very much in charge of the market. Following the Descending Channel break out in October last year, BTC Bulls has firmly secured the weekly EMA10, prompting the crypto analyst to put his next price target for the digital asset at $100,000.

Faibik also noted that the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Bitcoin has emerged from a falling wedge pattern. This breakout suggests that a 15% to 20% bullish rally in Bitcoin’s value is on the horizon.

Meanwhile, in the daily timeframe, a bullish flag formation is underway, and in the event of an upward breakout from the bullish flag, Faibik anticipates a new all-time high for Bitcoin by May.

Is A $1.5 million Price Level Possible For BTC?

One of the most bullish predictions for Bitcoin this year came from Ark Invest Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Cathie Wood. The CEO foresees the digital asset to rise by over 2,000% reaching a whopping $1.5 million by 2030.

During an interview in Hong Kong, Wood reiterated her projections for BTC, which were supported by a thorough investigation that included institution surveys and evaluations of market volatility.

She stated:

I have been asked this question from different angles, and our analysis from multiple perspectives indicates that by 2030, Bitcoin could rise to $1.5 million. This price prediction is based on a survey of institutions, using a discount rate and volatility analysis.

Initially, Wood’s forecast for Bitcoin was estimated at $600,000 in the next six years. However, considering the effect of the Bitcoin Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), she now believes the coin has the potential to hit $1.5 million.

BNB Resilience: Holding Firm At $560 – What’s Next?

The price of BNB hasn’t fallen below its previous low, and it’s showing some strong signs of heading up. After a spell of moving downward, the Binance Smart Chain’s native token is aiming for an upward bounce back towards its earlier high.

Technical Indicators Point Toward Sustained Uptrend For BNB

To figure out where the BNB price might be headed next, several indicators can be used to examine the chart:

BNB

4-Hour MACD: A technical look at the MACD indicator from the 4-hour timeframe, the MACD histograms are trending above the zero line, and both the MACD line and the Signal line have crossed and are heading towards the MACD zero line, indicating a bullish trend. This can be seen in the above image.

RSI 4-hour Timeframe: The formation of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in the below image also suggests an upward movement as the RSI signal line is seen trending above the 50% level. This indicates that buyers are still very active in the market therefore overpowering the strength of sellers.

4-hour alligator: A look at the alligator indicator from the 4-hour time frame shows that BNB is trading above the alligator lines as the alligator lip and teeth have both successfully crossed above the alligator jaw, suggesting that the price might be starting a new rally.

BNB

At the time of writing, the price of BNB was up by 1.35% and was trading around $561 in the last 24 hours. BNB price is showing bullish signs and also forming a base above the $508.1 support level. Also, the price is trading above the bearish trend line and below the 100 Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart.

Final Thoughts

From the previous downward movement, the price of BNB has managed to create one major resistance level of $635 and one major support level of $508. Currently, BNB is moving toward this resistance level and if it breaks above this level, the price might go even further to create a new high. 

On the other hand, if the price fails to break above this major resistance, it will reverse and start a downward movement toward its previous support and if it manages to break below this support level, the price might move further downward thereby starting a new downward trend.

Bitcoin Halving Could Catalyzed $100,000 Price Surge: Bitwise CEO

As the cryptocurrency community excitedly awaits the impending Bitcoin halving, Bitwise Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Hunter Horsley has weighed in on its impact on BTC, predicting that the event could potentially propel prices to $100,000 or even higher.

Horsley expressed his optimistic outlook toward the upcoming Bitcoin Halving on the X (formerly Twitter) platform. Every four years, the Halving has historically been linked to greater price increases, and Horsley’s upbeat view indicates that this cycle might be no different from the others.

Upcoming Bitcoin Halving Is Being Underestimated

According to the CEO, the much-anticipated event is presently being significantly underestimated in the crypto space. He claims that the market has never priced in it in the past, and it will not be priced in this time either, expressing his confidence toward the occasion.

Horsley highlighted the historical relevance and transformative implications of these occurrences, drawing comparisons with past Halvings and citing the notable profits that investors achieved in 2020, 2016, and 2012. He stated that following months of debate by investors on whether the previous three halvings were priced in, Bitcoin grew by 5.4x, 2.8x, and 88x, respectively.

Given the past price developments, the Bitwise CEO anticipates this Halving to serve as a catalyst for the $100,000 target for BTC. Horsley’s prediction seems very reasonable since the figure is just about a 47% increase from the digital asset’s current price.

It is worth noting that the opinions of fully deployed current holders are not used to measure the impact of the Halving. Rather, it depends on whether there will be a significant and sustained increase in demand in addition to the daily decrease in the supply of natural sellers. 

In all, the Bitwise CEO foresees a steady growth in demand along with the conditions for a substantial Halving event this year. As investors prepare for the possible impact of this historic occasion on Bitcoin’s price trajectory, this audacious prognosis highlights the possibility of massive price increases not only in BTC but the entire cryptocurrency market.

BTC Move Into No Man’s Land

With the Halving less than 24 hours away, Cold Blooded Shiller, a cryptocurrency analyst, has reported that Bitcoin has entered No Man’s Land. “There are some interesting discussion points on BTC right now, but we have just entered No Man’s Land,” he stated.

According to Shiller, until one of the two green zones highlighted in his chart is contacted, he believes the price action is far more unpredictable. Nonetheless, there are some interesting links here for former price action and Relative Strength Index (RSI).

The analyst claimed the RSI is currently resetting on the Higher Time Frame (HTF), and the last time it occurred was back in January, following a similar breakdown from consolidation seen now.

While Shiller does not think the results will be the same this time, it’s quite reasonable if no recovery happens due to this degree of loss.

Avalanche (AVAX) Downtrend Persists Amid Market Uncertainty

Generally, the cryptocurrency market is bearish at the moment, with coins like Avalanche (AVAX), Ethereum, Litecoin, XRP, Solana, and others all caught in this trend. Currently, the price of AVAX is on a strong bearish move below the 100-day Moving Average (MA) and could continue in that direction for a while before retracing.

Technical Indicators Suggest A Bearish Trend For Avalanche

Observing the chart from the 4-hour timeframe, AVAX has crossed below both the 100-day moving average and the trend line. This could mean that the price is on a downward trend. The MACD indicator on the 4-hour timeframe suggests a very strong bearish movement as the MACD histograms are trending below the MACD zero line.

Avalanche

Also, both the MACD line and MACD signal line are trending below the zero line. Given the formation of the MACD indicator, it shows that there is a possibility that the price will still move further downward.

Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also on the 4-hour timeframe suggests a bearish trend as the RSI signal line is trending around the oversold zone. Despite the potential of a retracement at this point, the price will drop more following this.

Avalanche

The alligator indicator is another powerful tool used to determine the trend of an asset. A look at the above image shows that both the alligator’s lip and teeth have crossed over the alligator’s jaw facing the downward direction. This formation suggests that the trend is bearish and that the price could witness a deeper decline.

What Could Happen Next

Based on the price’s previous movement, there are two major resistance levels of $50 and $59.99 and a support level of $39.95. As Avalanche is on a negative trajectory, if prices manage to break below the support level of $39.95, it could trigger a move further toward the next low of $27.53.

On the other hand, if the price fails to break below its previous low, it might start an upward correction movement toward the resistance level of $50.80. However, if it manages to break past this level, AVAX might move even further toward the $59.99 resistance level.

As of the time of writing, the Avalanche was trading around $38, indicating a decline of 1.75% in the last 24 hours. Its market cap is down by over 16%, while its trading volume has increased significantly by nearly 250% in the past day.

Dogecoin Rally Intensifies: Eyes Set On Historic New Highs

After a retracement from its current high of $0.22960, the price of Dogecoin (DOGE) looks like it is not yet done as the memecoin bounced back and moving toward its current high.

Dogecoin Price Technical Analysis

Dogecoin is one of the few memecoins that have captured the hearts of many crypto investors. Like Shiba Inu and Pepecoin (PEPE), Dogecoin is backed up by a strong and exciting community which has played a huge role in its success so far. 

At the time of writing, the price of DOGE was trading around $0.19713 and was up by over 5% in the last 24 hours. Also, the price is currently trading above the 100-day moving average with very strong bullish momentum in the 4-hour timeframe.

The MACD indicator in the 4-hour timeframe suggests an upward spike. This is so because the MACD line and the MACD signal that was trending below the zero line have both crossed, heading toward the MACD zero line. 

If the MACD line and the MACD signal line manage to cross above the MACD zero, Dogecoin might move higher to create a new high. Meanwhile, the MACD histogram is already trending above the zero line which suggests a bullish momentum.

Dogecoin

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour timeframe also indicates a bullish momentum toward the upward direction as the RSI signal line has crossed above the 50% level and is heading towards the overbought zone. According to the RSI indicator, the strength of the upward movement is still very strong as buyers are still very active in the market.

Potential Retracement On The Downside

Given the price’s previous surge, two major resistance levels and one major support level were created around $0.22960, $0.2244, and $0.19622 respectively. If the price of DOGE manages to move above the resistance level of $0.22441 level, it might move even further upward toward the resistance level of $0.22960. 

At this point, if the price succeeds in breaking above this level, the price might surge higher to create a new high. On the other hand, if the price fails to break above this resistance level, the price might start a new downward movement toward its previous support level of $0.19622. However, a breakout below the $0.19622 level could trigger a new downward trend.

Arbitrum (ARB) Poised For Resurgence: Downtrend Reaching Climax?

Generally, the crypto market has been experiencing a pullback after Bitcoin and many other coins like Ethereum have recorded a new all-time high of which Arbitrum (ARB) was not left behind.

Arbitrum, which has a lot of potential with a market cap of over $3.8 billion and a circulating supply of 2,653,939,384 ARB has been trading below the 100-day Moving Average (MA) for some time now. However, recently the price of ARB has been showing some signs of reversing.

As of the time of writing, Arbitrum was trading around $1.45, indicating an increase of 1% in the last 24 hours. There are currently two major resistance levels of $1.799 and $2.278 ahead of the price.

Technical Indicators Show Signs Of Upward Movement In Arbitrum Price

4-hour RSI Indicator: Looking at the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator from the 4-hour timeframe, we can see that the RSI line is rising above the oversold zone and is heading toward the 50 level. This indicates a rise in the price, and if the RSI line rises above the 50 level, it might trigger the start of a new trend. 

The image below reveals more:

Arbitrum

4-hour MACD: looking at the formation of the MACD indicator from the 4-hour timeframe in the above image, we can also see that both the MACD line and the signal line having trended for a while below the MACD zero line have both crossed and are heading towards the MACD zero line. 

On the other hand, the MACD histogram is already trending above the MACD zero line. This suggests that a change in direction might soon happen from its downward movement to an upward movement.

1-hour bull power vs bear power histogram indicator: lastly, taking a good look at the chart from the 1-hour time frame with the help of the bull power vs bear power indicator, it shows that the histograms are already trending above the zero level. This suggests that buyers are gradually taking over the market from sellers as seen in the image below.

Arbitrum

In conclusion, if the price of Arbitrum manages to change its direction from downward to upward direction, it is possible that ARB could retest its previous major resistance levels of  $1.799 and $2.278 and even move further to create a new peak. Nonetheless, if Arbitrum fails to move upward, the crypto asset’s price might move further downward to create a new low.

Solana (SOL) Continues To Soar – How High Can It Go?

The Solana network’s native cryptocurrency, SOL, has been on an upward surge in the past three days, climbing from around $180 to over $210.

Having failed to break its previous low of $162.74, the coin, which is currently ranked 5th in the crypto market with a total supply of 441 million and a market capitalization of over $88 billion, SOL is showing no signs of stopping.

Will Solana Continue To Surge Upward?

At the time of writing, Solana has been up by 6.25% trading around $198 in the past 24 hours, and has broken above the previous resistance level of $195. The price is also trading above the 100-day moving average on the 4-hour chart of the SOL/USD pair. If the price continues to move upward, it might break above its major resistance level of $210 and move even higher to create a new high for the year. 

All these can be seen in the image below:

Solana

Looking at the chart with the help of the RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator in the image above, we can see that the RSI line is trending above the 50 level. This is an indication that the price of SOL is still in a bullish zone and could even surge further upward. 

A further look at the 4-hour timeframe chart with the help of the MACD indicator, we can see that the MACD is on the bullish side as the MACD line, the signal line, and the MACD histogram are all trending above the zero line.

Finally, using the bull vs bear power histogram indicator, it appears buyers have taken over the market with powerful momentum and are ready to push the price even higher. 

We can confirm this in the image below:

Solana
With the momentum that Solana is moving with, there is a possibility that it could break above its previous resistance level of $210.27. If this manages to happen we could see prices soaring higher especially with the level of demand momentum in the market

Could SOL Dip?

If the price of Solana fails to break above the resistance level of $210, it could start a downside correction to its initial support level of 162. If the price closes below this support level, it could decline even further and probably start a downward trend.

Ethereum Drops Below The 100-Day Moving Average – What’s Next?

The crypto market is experiencing a pullback after Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, reached a new all-time high. However, Ethereum (ETH) is not left out in this downward move.

After setting a new yearly high of $4,094, the price of Ethereum has been moving downward and this has led to the price trading below the 100-day Moving Average (MA) both in the 1-hour and 4-hour timeframes, but this is not so in the daily timeframe. 

Will the price continue downward or will it change direction and start moving upward? At the time of writing, Ethereum’s price was trading around $3,360 and was up by 0.64% in the last 24 hours.

Ethereum Indicators And What They Suggest

Looking at the chart, technically we can see that a support level of $3,067 and a resistance level of $3,681 and $3,591 have been formed respectively. Nonetheless, there could be more support and resistance created if the price continues to move downward.

4-Hour Moving Average: A technical observation of the chart from the 4-hour timeframe as seen in the image below reveals that the price is trending below the 100-day moving average. This suggests that the price is on a downtrend and could potentially move further downward.

Ethereum

 4-Hour RSI indicator: With the help of the Relative Strength Index indicator (RSI) we can see the RSI signal line is trending below the 50 line. This is a strong indication that the price of Ethereum is in a downward trend as observed in the image above.

MACD Indicator: Taking a close look at the MACD indicator in the 4-hour timeframe, it appears that the MACD histogram has dropped below the zero line. In addition, both the MACD line and the signal line have crossed below the zero line. 

This setup indicates that the price is still bearish and there are possibilities that it could still move downward. The image below provides more details:

Ethereum

Possible Outcome

If the price of Ethereum continues downward and breaks below the support level of $3,067, it could move further downward to create a new support level. However, if the price fails to break below this support level, we could see a price reversal and may start a fresh trend upward. Thus there could be a possibility that the price could break above the resistance levels of $3,681 and $3,591 respectively, and continue its bullish run.

Bitcoin Rally Continues: Analyst Predicts $70,000 Target Soon

Bitcoin continues to maintain its momentum toward the upward trajectory, touching the $68,000 price mark earlier today, leading to speculations about how long it will take to hit a new peak.

Bitcoin To Reach $70,000 In A Matter Of Time

With the price action of Bitcoin today, several crypto analysts are bullish about BTC as they believe that the crypto asset could reach a new peak very soon. The digital asset recently touched the $68,000 threshold for the first time in nearly 3 years, placing it just short of capping off a notable recovery.

In a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Cryptocurrency analyst and enthusiast Crypto Jelle has expressed his bullish optimism toward BTC with the community. His predictions examine Bitcoin’s current price position and its potential to surpass its all-time high.

According to the crypto expert, the price of BTC is just “inches away” from reaching unprecedented heights. He pointed out that the coin tried to break through its current peak but was unsuccessful.

Additionally, he noted that the crypto asset is presently “retesting the 4-Hour 25 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50 Relative Strength Index (RSI).” Nonetheless, crypto Jelle believes that “both trends are good entries that could trigger a bounce” to a new level.

Bitcoin

As a result, the analyst has predicted the asset to reach “$70,000 in only a matter of time.” Furthermore, he has urged the community to be patient as this is the “name of the game.”

The post read:

Bitcoin is within inches of a new all-time high. Rejected on its first attempt, but now retesting the 4-Hour 25E MA and the RSI 50 level. Both tend to be good entries for a bounce. $70,000 is a matter of time, and patience remains the name of the game.

As Bitcoin continues to rally, the token’s fear and greed index seems to have also skyrocketed. Jelle has also highlighted in another post that BTC’s “fear and greed index are presently reaching extreme levels.”

However, this does not imply that we will be seeing a pullback, according to the expert. He then clarified that as of the time Bitcoin surpassed $20,000, the fear and greed index was higher than it is now while urging investors not to be “shaken out” of the market.

BTC Could Hit $150,000 Before 2024 Closes

The head of research at Fundstrat, Tom Lee, has also shared his optimism toward BTC in an interview with CBNC. Tom Lee’s optimistic overview came in light of the asset drawing close to its peak.

According to Lee, he believes that Bitcoin is heading straight back towards its “long-term trendline.” Due to this, he has placed his price target at “$82,000 in the short term.” Lee also predicted a long-term price for BTC, putting his target at “$150,000 before the year closes.”

Presently, Bitcoin is situated at $66,710, up by over 2% in the past day, and above 18% in the past week. CoinMarketCap shows that its market cap and trading volume are up by 2.70% and 70.61% in the past day, respectively.

Bitcoin Bulls Persists: Analyst Identifies Trend As Catalyst To $60,000

As the entire cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing a notable upward trajectory, several market analysts are anticipating more gains for Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency asset, as they predict the token’s price to go even higher.

Historical Trend That Will Send Bitcoin To $60,000 

Crypto Jelle, a cryptocurrency analyst and investor, has expressed his optimism toward Bitcoin’s price action. Jelle recently shared a positive prediction for BTC in the near future on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

The expert’s projections delve into the present price movement of Bitcoin and its potential to increase even further. He highlighted a trend which serves as a catalyst for a price increase.

Jelle’s X post was accompanied by a chart that shows that the crypto asset has formed a “Bullish Megaphone” pattern. According to him, this is “yet another bullish megaphone pattern,” suggesting the price will go higher, putting his price target at $60,000. If Bitcoin manages to maintain its current momentum amid the crypto market’s rally, it is possible that BTC’s price might reach $60,000.

Bitcoin

In another X post, Jelle also pointed out that the token is presently in an area in which it normally sees the best gains. Jelle revealed that the BTC always experiences the best return when its “weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above 70.” Due to this, he has urged his thousands of followers to invest significantly in the token to position themselves for more gains.

BTC finished the previous week on a bullish note, staying put above the $52,000 threshold in the face of strong opposition. This simply suggests a strong faith and dependency on the digital asset from investors.

After going past the $52,000 level, it set a new weekly culmination record spanning two years. Because of Bitcoin’s tenacity and upward movement, investors and market watchers are anticipating what lies ahead.

Massive Whale Moves Amid Price Rally

In light of BTC’s rally, Whale Alert has reported massive whale transactions carried out hours ago. Whale Alert revealed that around 18,484 BTC valued at about $962 million were taken out of the decentralized exchange Coinbase.

The on-chain tracker reported that the aforementioned withdrawals were carried out in two distinct transactions. Whale Alert noted that the first transaction saw 9,322 BTC worth approximately $485 million being withdrawn from Coinbase.

Meanwhile, the second transaction witnessed 9,162 BTC valued at about $476 million being extracted from the same exchange. Both wallet addresses involved in the withdrawal appear to be new ones, as they had no previous transaction history.

As of the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $52,336, indicating an increase of over 9% in the past 7 days. Despite the price rise, its trading volume appears to be down by over 10% in the past 24 hours.

Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Rally To $45,000 Before Pullback

Bitcoin (BTC) has started riding the recent bull market wave and rising with fresh gains after weeks of sluggish momentum, with crypto analysts predicting more potential gains for the leading cryptocurrency asset in the coming days.

Bitcoin To See A Correction After Surging To $45,000

A cryptocurrency expert from Cheeky Crypto has made a daring forecast for Bitcoin. The analyst revealed his recent projections during one of Cheeky Crypto’s latest episodes on YouTube.

His predictions came in light of the price of Bitcoin closing Wednesday on a positive note, leading the altcoin market as a whole with it. As the new trading day began, BTC’s price broke above the consolidation, signaling that bulls have returned to the fore.

Cheeky Crypto analyst’s latest analysis delves into the present trading range for Bitcoin. In the analysis, the expert talked about a potential surge to the upside that will take BTC to $45,000. 

Bitcoin

He defined the current stage as a continuation pattern and forecasted that after the range is done, there will be an upward breakout. The analyst mentioned that volume profiles have been declining throughout the market’s range, which gave him the belief that the price will increase to $45,000.

However, he believes a notable correction will occur after BTC reaches the aforementioned price level. Meanwhile, given the positioning on the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (RSI), he anticipates a further decline to $30,000.

He underscored that there is resistance at the 50 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and support at the 50 Simple Moving Average (SMA) for BTC’s present trading range. If the 50 EMA is breached, Bitcoin may test the 50 EMA once again, and the 200 EMA would provide extra support.

Furthermore, the analyst looked at a series of indications throughout the hourly, daily, and weekly time periods. He noted key levels of support, resistance, and indicators to inspect for prospective market changes and momentum, like the RSI and the stochastic RSI.

BTC’s Price Surges Above $44,000, Eyes $45,000

Amid the recent bullish rally encompassing the crypto market, Bitcoin’s price has risen over $44,000. This marks the first time this month that the crypto asset has reached this level, suggesting market recovery.

The recent surge has sent quite a positive sentiment in the entire crypto space. It is believed that the rise might be due to the anticipation around the Ethereum Spot ETFs and BTC ETF options. Although, in comparison to last month, trend levels are still low, indicating that one should stay vigilant. 

As of the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin has increased by over 4% in the past 24 hours, trading at $44,704. In addition, its market cap and trading volume have increased by over 4% and 47% in the past day.

Why “Overbought” Bitcoin Could Trigger A 107% Rally

Bitcoin price had previously been showing extreme strength leading up until the debut of the first spot ETFs. That strength has since subsided, leading to a 20% correction in BTCUSD.

A popular technical indicator that measures momentum, however, could point to powerful continuation to the upside, but only if a certain level is breached. Keep reading to learn more about the Relative Strength Index and how the top cryptocurrency behaves once the market reaches an “overbought” level.

Bitcoin Approaches “Overbought” And Why This Isn’t A Bad Thing

The Relative Strength Index is a momentum-measuring tool that signals when a market is “overbought” or “oversold”. When a financial asset reaches such conditions, it often means the trend is about to change.

In Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the weekly RSI is often a signal that the asset is moving into its most powerful phase. For example, Bitcoin made it above a reading of 70 in October 2023, and only weeks later saw an over 60% rally to local 2024 highs.

Now 1W BTCUSD charts are showing an RSI reading of just below 70, pointing to a possible close back above the overbought level. If bulls can keep the top cryptocurrency by market cap above $43,650, the weekly RSI should close above the threshold.

bitcoin rsi

BTCUSD Historical 1W Relative Strength Data

Historical data could possibly shed some light on what might happen if the weekly Relative Strength Index gets the close above 70 as anticipated.

Over the last ten years, Bitcoin saw a 1W RSI close above 70 a total of 13 times. This happened 8 times in 2016 and 2017, twice in 2019, and once each in 2020 and 2021. One additional instance occurred in 2023.

Of the 13 times, the average gain after the RSI closed above 70 to the peak of the movement was 107%. The largest rally was in 2020, bringing over 400% returns. The smallest rally was in 2016 and saw only a 20% gain.

After removing the largest and smallest outliers, the average drops down to around 61%. This could mean that Bitcoin could produce on average a move between 61 and 107%.

A 61% gain takes BTCUSD back to just under $68,000 and shy of a new all-time high, while a 107% move sets a new record closer to $90,000 per coin. The cryptocurrency is also potentially working on a bull flag pattern, with a target of around $77,000.

Crypto analyst Crypto Insight recently predicted that the price of XRP could be preparing to go past the $1 mark in just 16 days as the XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) and open interest continue to gain momentum indicating a bullish trend.

This is because the momentum of an asset’s price movement is measured by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). There are two indicator feature lines in the RSI chart and these include the RSI line (purple) and the RSI-Based MA line (yellow).

In the RSI chart, an indication of rising momentum and a bullish cross is produced whenever the RSI line crosses above the RSI-based MA line; as seen in the XRP weekly chart posted by Crypto Insight on X.

XRP experienced the cross for the first time in the first week of July, and after this happened, the cryptocurrency experienced a great surge in price by July 13, which led to XRP’s yearly high of $0.93. However, during the correction that followed, the RSI line fell below the RSI-based MA line.

According to crypto insight, the line is once again attempting to traverse above the RSI-based MA line as of the time of his discovery, and the crossing has been realized. As of the time of his revelation, the RSI line was sitting at 53.91, while the RSI-based MA line was sitting at 51.01 presenting a bullish sign.

The crypto analyst further shed more light on the timing for these potential developments. Crypto Insight speculated that XRP might be touching a resistance level as of the time of his disclosure, and the resistance level could be a vital point for XRP price movement.

He also added that a bullish cross for the RSI could buttress both bulls and punters to engage in the market and stake their bets. Notably, this surge in trading activity could provide XRP with the force it needs to swiftly break out into the target range.

So far, the target range that was set up by the crypto analyst in his chart was between $0.8875 to $1.3617. He believes that XRP could hit this price range in the next 16 days since the rally in July, saw the XRP price almost claiming the $1 mark, but failed due to the significant resistance it faced.

The crypto analyst also pointed out the XRP’s open interest in his projections. He highlighted that open interest has room to rise significantly, and it seems to be developing higher highs.

Open Interest is the overall number of pending futures contracts for a particular cryptocurrency. Therefore, an increase in open interest can indicate growing market participation and keenness among investors, and it can also lead to increased liquidity and potentially trigger a price rally for a cryptocurrency.

Cosmos (ATOM) Price Displays Intense Momentum – What’s Driving The Rally?

Cosmos (ATOM) demand has risen these past few days, resulting in a significant performance. According to CoinMarketCap data ATOM price has fallen to $11.69 after gaining momentum.

The current market cap of ATOM is $3.3 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume of $100 million. However, the trading volume is still down by 31.18%, indicating reduced network activity. 

Reason Behind The Surge In Cosmos?

Cosmos is a constantly growing network of interconnected blockchains created with developer-friendly application components. 

Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol is the technology that connects these apps. The SDK platform Cosmos offers allows programmers to produce top-notch decentralized apps (dApps).

Other developers have also constructed applications on top of it, such as MM Finance and VVS Finance. Cosmo’s (ATOM) recent price surge could be attributed to its influx of developers topping that of Ethereum. 

The other reason for the ATOM price increase might be the announcement from dYdX that it is building an independent blockchain on the Cosmos ecosystem instead of Ethereum.

Also, Bitcoin price soared above $29,000, pushing the market cap of all cryptocurrencies to surpass $1 trillion. Many crypto assets, including ATOM, recorded price growth due to correlation to BTC. 

ATOM Price Action

Below is the technical analysis of ATOM price action on the 4-hour trading timeframe. And also the possible resistance and support zones.

Cosmos has broken through the short-term resistance level of $11.69 and is currently trading between $10.571 and $15.484 support and resistance levels. ATOM must break through the $15.484 primary resistance level to confirm the bullish momentum.

However, the bears are trying hard to break the $10.571 support level but couldn’t due to the high bullish momentum. If the bull’s strength is not strong enough to push ahead, the bears might take over the trend and cause a trend reversal.

What Do The Technical Aspects Suggest?

ATOM’s 50-Day SMA’s change in direction caused the market’s structure to change. If the bullish momentum doesn’t pick up, the trend may change to a potential bearish market. 

The 50-Day SMA established a Death Cross by crossing below the 200-Day SMA, indicating a potentially bearish signal and suggesting a selling opportunity.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) analysis indicator enables traders to determine the momentum and strength of the price movement of an asset within a period.

At the time of analysis, the RSI of ATOM/USDT is at 61.74 above the neutral zone. Therefore, this shows that ADA is neither in the overbought nor oversold zone. However, the buyers are building momentum to take ADA to the overbought zone while the seller pushes it down despite weak momentum.
