Decision: STAY OUT OF THE MARKET
Technical Analysis:
On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin shows weakening momentum with a bearish MACD(4H) crossover, as the histogram continues to decline further into negative territory. The RSI(4H) is at 42.85, reflecting bearish pressure and still indicating room for further downside without being oversold. Bitcoin recently rejected resistance around $69,000 and is now trading near $67,252, facing potential further downside risk near its next support level of around $65,000. While on the daily (1D) chart, Bitcoin remains above the 50-day ($63,425) and 200-day ($60,752) EMAs, a bearish divergence is visible in RSI(1D), which has started to decline below 70. The MACD(1D) histogram is flattening, indicating loss of upward momentum and potential consolidation or decline.
News Impact:
Recent market news reveals mixed signals. There are broad concerns around global macroeconomic uncertainty, with U.S. elections approaching, weighing heavily on investors' risk appetite. Additionally, a data breach affecting the crypto platform Transak has sparked some negative sentiment. However, key bullish developments, such as Bitcoin hashrate reaching an all-time high and optimism around institutional interest, continue to bolster the long-term bullish outlook for Bitcoin.
Market Sentiment:
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index currently sits at 70 (Greed), indicating significant optimism, which could suggest the possibility of a correction in the near term. At the same time, commentary from TradingView users highlights caution, with some expecting further retracements before any sustained upward movement. A key short-term support level near $65,000 is commonly cited.
Conclusion:
Although Bitcoin remains technically bullish at a broader level, the short-term indicators signal weakening momentum and the potential for further downside. With strong resistance encountered near $69,000 and sentiment favoring caution, it is prudent to stay out of the market for the time being. Waiting for a clearer reversal signal or a retest of the support zone around $65,000 would provide a better opportunity for re-entry.
