Bitcoin took a tumble, but the news is surprisingly positive
Bitcoin’s price on July 5th recovered to $56,485 after hitting a low of $53,831 earlier that day. Despite this rebound, the BTC/USD pair has seen a notable decline from $62,829 in the last four days, registering an 11.5% dip for the week.
On June 29, Bitcoin was hovering around $60,920, reflecting a period of relative stability before the recent market upheaval.
Experts at Skew noted Bitcoin’s recent movements concerning the 200-day moving average (DMA) as an indicator of market adjustments post-halving. The halving event, which reduces the creation rate of new Bitcoins, typically sparks strong optimism among investors.
Data spanning from 2014 to 2024 reveals that when Bitcoin’s price dipped below the 200 DMA in the past, it often presented significant buy opportunities to investors.
Is Bitcoin’s Plummet to $53K Indicative of a Major Reversal?
Looking at Bitcoin’s daily chart, there is a consistent downtrend from $72,949, with a swift decline from the $60,000 range to around $53,550. Increased volume during price drops implies phases of capitulation and accumulation.
The key support level is at $53,550, with resistance noted near $58,000.
Technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 26, Stochastic at 13 indicating oversold conditions, and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) at -217 reflecting strong bearish momentum. The Average Directional Index (ADI) stands at 36, portraying moderate trend strength.
Momentum indicators like the momentum at -6792 and MACD level at -2210 further emphasize the prevailing bearish sentiment.
Moving averages over significant periods reinforce the sell signal. The 10-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $59,931 and Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $60,332 point to a downward trend.
According to the latest report from Glassnode, the MVRV Ratio indicates that overall investor profitability remains solid, with the average coin still holding a 2x profit multiple. Typically, this level separates the ‘Enthusiastic’ and ‘Euphoric’ phases of a bull market, hinting that a bullish reversal could be on the horizon.
