BTC Outlook
After spending the first 8 months of the year trading above the 200 day moving average BTC is now trading bellow it and last week rejected it. This means for now the 200 day MA has flipped from support to resistance. Because of Bitcoin’s short history the 200 day MA has seen very few crosses and in fact the only other time in BTC’s history where the 200 day MA was rejected so quickly was in March 2020. After BTC spent only 2 days above the 200 day MA it feel -50% in the following week.
From the sentiment side, the market is in a lulled state. Everyone is “awaiting” the next catalyst, be it the Halvening, an ETF approval, the fed to cut rates. There’s nothing in the market right now driving price upward, and this could be taken as exhaustion. The only thing missing is positive price action. The narrative does appear to be saturated with everyone being incredibly bearish, and all news being bearish. A sign to look out for would be the price finally rising on bearish news. Until then the momentum does appear to be to the downside, and the 200 day MA is an important level to watch for a change in direction.
