BTCUSD Bitcoin

The Bitcoin price has crashed back toward the $56,000 level after a brief pump triggered by the CPI data release on Thursday, showing that inflation rates came out at 3%, lower than expected. This bearish trend has continued despite desperate attempts from bulls to keep the price up. Even then, one crypto analyst does not believe that the decline is done and expects the fall to continue from here. Bitcoin Dump Far From Over A crypto analyst on the TradingView website, who goes by the pseudonym ‘Luca VIP,’ has expressed bearish tendencies for the Bitcoin price going forward. In the analysis, the crypto analyst points out that the reason for the current Bitcoin price fluctuation is the fact that it has hit resistance at $59,000 following the pump.

As a result of this rejection, the cryptocurrency is currently in a consolidation phase, which threatens to continue from here. Furthermore, the BTC price is still showing sideways performance, even after the Thursday surge, which suggests that bears are still firmly in control of the price. Additionally, the crypto analyst maps out a possible decline trend from here, putting it as low as $56,000 until the decline is done. However, what’s important is what happens after the Bitcoin price hits this expected support level. Luca explains that despite the decline, the BTC price has formed a W pattern, which is historically a bullish pattern. In this case, a bullish reversal is expected that could trigger a retest of the $59,000 level. If the retest is successful, then the crypto analyst puts the Bitcoin price above $60,000 once again. “BTCUSDT may retest the resistance zone at $59,000. A successful breakout above this level could push the price to higher targets, potentially around $60,000 or higher,” the crypto analyst said. Is It Time To Buy BTC? While the market is still reeling from the Bitcoin price dip, some crypto analysts believe that this is a good time to time. Another pseudonymous analyst who goes by ‘RLinda’ on the TradingView website shared this sentiment recently.

Apparently, the BTC price is headed toward a renewal of local highs. RLinda’s stance is buttressed by the fact that the Crypto Fear & Greed Index has fallen into Extreme Fear, which has historically been the best time to get positioned for cryptocurrencies. If historical trends are anything to go by, then the price could trade sideways for a while before finally finding strong support and seeing a bounce.
