BTC/USD 4-Hour Chart

Bitcoin is moving lower on Friday but it has found some short term support.

The BTC/USD found support at the 2.00 Fib extension level close to 8,500.

On the topside, the area to watch for resistance is marked in red.

This red zone has been used as support and resistance in the past and if broken could indicate the move lower was just a blip.

If the price bounces off there and moves down, this could indicate we are in the 3rd wave of an Elliott structure and more pain is to come.

If this ends up being the case the 2.618% Fib extension level could be the target for the bears.

Lastly, if you monitor the volume, you can see the sell candles have much more participants. This is also a signal the bears are in control.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP extend decline, pressured by increasing ETF outflows

Bitcoin’s massive storm is back: Why the sell-off is far from over

Pi Network hits record low as market-wide risk-off sentiment weighs

PI price hovers around $0.1300 at press time on Thursday, reflecting a mild rebound from the $0.1186 record low reached earlier on the day. Deposits totaling roughly 1 million PI tokens on exchanges over the last 24 hours suggest waning investor confidence amid a broader market risk-off sentiment.

Billions in ETF outflows don’t bode well

Bitcoin (BTC) remains under pressure, trading below $74,000 on Friday, and is set to post its third consecutive week of losses. The institutional sell-off continues, with spot BTC Exchange-Traded funds (ETFs) recording billions in outflows. In addition, sticky inflation and macroeconomic headwinds suppress the Crypto King’s upside potential. Institutional demand continues to weaken so far this week.
