Bitcoin - Not bullish yet
After hitting a low near 17 500 USD and reversing back above 21 000 USD, Bitcoin has been trading mostly sideways. So far, it has failed to move above the 22 000 USD price tag, which hints at a loss of momentum within the bear market rally. Despite that, we remain neutral and abstain from setting a price target for BTCUSD. However, we are growing inclined toward the notion that Bitcoin has not formed a bottom yet. Therefore, we will monitor its price action closely and look for more clues as to the resumption of the selling pressure.
Fundamental factors
We foresee bearish fundamental factors like higher interest rates and less money printing as damaging for the U.S. economy and cryptocurrencies. As a result, we expect these issues to weigh on the price of Bitcoin and drag it lower.
