Bitcoin, that enigmatic digital darling, has clawed its way back from the abyss of monthly lows, only to stumble at the $85,000 resistance like a tipsy aristocrat at a ball. 🕺
On Saturday, Bitcoin (BTC) flirted with $84,525, a modest 10% rise from its monthly nadir. Yet, it remains ensnared in a local bear market, having tumbled over 22% from its yearly peak. At press time, it was trading at a rather unremarkable $84,335. 🐻
Friday saw Bitcoin and its altcoin entourage rise slightly, mimicking the performance of stocks and gold. The Dow Jones surged by over 650 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 leapt by 117 and 450 points, respectively. Gold, ever the show-off, soared to a record high of $3,010. 📈
Bitcoin’s Perilous Path
Bitcoin’s recovery is fraught with two potential risks and two opportunities. First, investors remain gripped by fear, as evidenced by the fear and greed index lingering at 22, just above the extreme fear zone of 18. Historically, Bitcoin thrives in the greedy zone, but alas, fear reigns supreme. This explains why spot Bitcoin ETFs bled $143 million in assets, with weekly outflows hitting $870 million. Outflows have persisted for five consecutive weeks. 💸
Second, Bitcoin has formed a death cross, with the 50-day and 200-day Weighted Moving Averages crossing each other. This ominous signal often heralds further decline. Bitcoin may yet retest $73,900, its March 2024 peak. ☠️
Bitcoin’s Glimmer of Hope
For Bitcoin’s first opportunity, investors should keep an eye on the Federal Reserve’s second meeting of the year on March 18-19. Recession fears might nudge the central bank toward a dovish tone, hinting at more interest rate cuts. Such a shift would be a boon for Bitcoin and its altcoin brethren. 🕊️
The second opportunity lies in investors embracing a risk-on sentiment and buying the dip in the stock and crypto markets. With the most extreme tariff risks already priced in, the stock market has shed trillions in value. This scenario has played out before, notably during the COVID-19 pandemic, when investors panicked, sold stocks and crypto in March 2020, and then bought the dip as the Fed adopted a highly dovish stance. 🛒
