BTC/USD Price Analysis: Bitcoin bears bracing for a return to 3000 level and below

  • After the 2017 bubble, the Bitcoin bulls failed to create a meaningful recovery.
  • BTC/USD is most likely to drop to 3000 before breaking above 10K.
  • The current rebound is probably a dead-cat-bounce.
 

BTC/USD weekly chart

 
Bitcoin is consolidating the move down seen in the first months of 2020 as BTC/USD is trading below the 50 and 100 weekly SMAs but above the 200 one. However, this market remains weak and unless bulls can overcome the 10K hurdle BTC/USD is likely to remain under pressure for the remainder of the year. In fact, another bearish move below the 4000 mark could likely lead to the 3000 level and if the bulls lose this level, the cryptocurrency could spiral into selling off mode and revisit the early 2017 levels; that is to say BTC/USD would be worth 1000, conservatively speaking.

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

Cryptocurrencies are trading under pressure on Thursday, weighed down by risk-off sentiment driven by Middle East tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty. Bitcoin has extended its decline below $65,000 and is targeting the key support area at $60,000.

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

Bitcoin price action over the last few weeks has felt less like a normal, healthy correction and more like a slow grinding crash that continues to wreak havoc on holdings and trading accounts. And everything suggests that the dramatic crash isn’t over.

Hyperliquid and Near Protocol fall sharply as Arthur Hayes dumps HYPE and NEAR for Worldcoin

Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Near Protocol (NEAR) prices have dropped 11% and 17%, respectively, at press time on Thursday, erasing gains as the well-known investor Arthur Hayes dumps HYPE and NEAR holdings.

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.
