In our previous posts, we warned about the decrease in volume which accompanied the rally. Since then, BTCUSD saw a reversal, and the price faltered by 7%. Technical and fundamental factors continue to point to the downside for Bitcoin. Therefore, we would like to update our short-term price target for BTCUSD to 42 500 USD. Additionally, we would like to set a medium-term price target to 40 000 USD.
Technical analysis - daily time frame RSI is very bearish. The same applies to MACD and Stochastic. DM+ and DM- performed bearish crossover just recently, suggesting the beginning of the bearish trend. ADX contains a relatively low value which means the trend is still in its early stage. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish and forecasts more downside for BTCUSD.
Illustration 1.01 RSI shows a steep decline on the daily time frame. We will watch whether it will manage to continue lower and potentially break below 30 points. If there is such an occurrence, we expect it to be accompanied by a catastrophic selloff in BTC.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI continues to develop the long-term bearish structure. MACD failed to cross above 0 points into a bullish area. DM+ and DM- are bearish. ADX suggests the presence of a neutral (or weak trend). Overall, the weekly time frame bolsters the bearish case for BTCUSD.
