Bitcoin's dangerous fall

Expert market comment from senior analyst Alex Kuptsikevich of the FxPro Analyst Team: Bitcoin's dangerous fall
FxPro | 1188 дней спустя

Market picture

Bitcoin fell all day yesterday, losing around 6% to $27.6K, raising the question of whether we are seeing the start of a prolonged decline.

Bitcoin closed below its 50-day moving average on Monday. The price stays below that curve and is stuck at $28.0K after rising 1.3% to today. If it can't quickly surpass it again, Bitcoin's fall below $27K will pave the way for a move to $22K, where the 200-day passes, which became a turning point in March.

Twitter analyst Bluntz, who predicted a bear market bottom for BTC in 2018, expects Bitcoin to fall to $25K. In his view, the first cryptocurrency is unlikely to break $30,000 soon. BTC has completed a 5-wave and is now in a corrective A-B-C formation.

News background

Cryptocurrencies will outperform other asset classes amid the continued devaluation of fiat currencies and the ongoing banking crisis, Real Vision CEO Raul Pal said following the bankruptcy of First Republic Bank (FRB).

Peter Brandt, tech analyst and head of Factor LLC, believes Bitcoin will soon overtake all other cryptocurrencies and "bury all the imposters". He pointed to the chart of the BTC dominance index, which he believes is poised for a breakout after two years of consolidation.

According to Santiment's research, crypto asset prices in April were "very broadly dispersed" and barely correlated with each other.

Brent - Trump Calls Off the Strike, and Oil Drops 5%

Oil fell more than 5% to around $82 after President Trump said he cancelled a planned attack on Iran and that talks would resume Monday. Only days ago, the market was preparing for a new wave of strikes and prices were climbing. This is the third sharp reversal in a month, and it shows how much of today's oil price depends on headlines rather than actual supply.

Bank of Japan's Historic Intervention: Tactical Victory or Temporary Relief?

Bank of Japan's Historic Intervention: Tactical Victory or Temporary Relief?

The Bank of Japan finally stepped into the FX market, triggering one of its most powerful interventions in years and sending USDJPY tumbling from 164 to 158. Whilst the move temporarily disrupted the carry trade, unchanged interest rates and limited scope for further tightening suggest the underlying pressures on the yen remain firmly in place.
