As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of market experience under my belt, I have seen my fair share of bull and bear markets. The current situation in the crypto market, particularly Bitcoin ($BTC), has me both cautious and optimistic at the same time.
Worry permeates the cryptocurrency sector as the value of Bitcoin ($BTC) persistently drops. The recent large Bitcoin transfers from government and Mt.Gox wallets have sparked concern. At its current level of $58,000, Bitcoin seems precarious, leading some to speculate whether a further decline is imminent.
Large-scale selling about to happen?
As a crypto investor, I recently learned that approximately 10,000 BTC, previously associated with the infamous Silk Road operation and now under the control of the U.S. Government, were transferred into a Coinbase Prime deposit wallet on Wednesday. If these coins aren’t moved to a custodial wallet, there’s a possibility they could be sold, impacting the market.
Additionally, approximately 34,000 Bitcoin (BTC) was moved to a Bitgo exchange wallet on Tuesday, with the intention of being distributed to Mt. Gox creditors. This transfer is part of the remaining 46,000 BTC that has yet to be disbursed by the trustees of Mt. Gox.
Even though no BTC mentioned earlier has been sold so far, the expectation that it might be sold seems to be negatively impacting the overall market mood.
$58,000 is a huge support level
Today’s graph indicates that Bitcoin’s current value is stabilizing around the crucial $58,000 level, acting as a potential safety net. Should the primary cryptocurrency fail to maintain this support, a possible decline towards the lower $50,000 region might occur.
A significant issue that warrants attention is the 200-day moving average (depicted by the red line). Typically, in a bull market, this line serves as a crucial benchmark to surpass, but unfortunately, Bitcoin’s price has fallen below it during the Japan crash and has only managed to challenge it as resistance in the most recent unsuccessful rally.
Short-term bounce likely
Despite all that’s been discussed, if a price correction occurs, it’s highly probable that it will happen around the current level. The 4-hour and 8-hour Stochastic RSIs are at their lowest points, while the 12-hour is trending downward. It seems likely that we might see a price reversal here, with $61,000 as a possible target for this bounce.
Summer doldrums about to end
As Autumn draws near, traditional and cryptocurrency markets often experience a shake-up in asset prices, signaling potential excitement for bullish investors as we approach the end of the year. However, it’s essential to note that while Bitcoin may navigate the upcoming weeks successfully, there’s no guarantee where its price will reach by the end of the year.
