Bitcoin - The downtrend is confirmed by several developments
تم تحديثه
Right after Jerome Powell's speech, the stock market dropped sharply, dragging cryptocurrencies with it. As a result, Bitcoin fell approximately 6%, dropping below 21 000 USD and subsequently below the immediate support. That is particularly bearish as this development constitutes a new low for BTCUSD, further confirming the downtrend. As if it was not enough, volume continues to grow while the price declines, suggesting a strengthening selling pressure.
As for the fundamental factors, it is clear now that the FED's pivot is dead, and there is no reversal in the central bank's monetary policy. As we previously noted, this will inadvertently drag the global economy into a deeper recession, leading to even a higher risk aversion. Consequently, we expect this to pull Bitcoin below its 2022 lows.
Concerning technical factors, these are flashing warning signs across the board. We expect a heavy selloff in the short-term future. Indeed, we would not be surprised to see Bitcoin break below 20 000 USD over the weekend. Accordingly, we stick to our price target of 17 500 USD and 15 000 USD.

The green arrow indicates growing volume, which supports our bearish thesis; indeed, in our previous post, we stated that this would be an ideal picture to confirm our hypothesis.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI, MACD, Stochastic, DM+, and DM- are all bearish. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish.

The picture above shows the monthly chart of BTCUSD. Again, extremely shallow volumes hint at brewing troubles for Bitcoin.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI, MACD, Stochastic, DM+, and DM- are all bearish. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish.
