Bitcoin's Rollercoaster: A Temporary Respite or Precipice of a CBitcoin, the digital currency that once seemed invincible, has undergone a tumultuous period. A dramatic plunge from its peak to a low of $49,300 sent shockwaves through the crypto market. However, a surprising recovery has seen it rebound to $56,000. This raises a critical question: is this a reprieve before another, more devastating crash, or the beginning of a renewed bull run?
Factors Fueling the Fall
To understand the potential trajectory of Bitcoin, it's essential to examine the factors that precipitated its decline. Macroeconomic conditions, including rising inflation and interest rate hikes, have cast a long shadow over risk assets, and Bitcoin is no exception. Regulatory uncertainty, particularly in the United States, has also contributed to market volatility. Additionally, concerns about the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining have led some investors to reconsider their positions.
The Rallying Cry
The recent recovery can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, a wave of buying from institutional investors has helped to bolster Bitcoin's price. These large-scale investors often view market downturns as buying opportunities, believing that Bitcoin's long-term value proposition remains intact. Secondly, the ongoing development of Bitcoin's underlying technology, including advancements in scalability and privacy, has continued to attract investor interest. Finally, the growing adoption of Bitcoin as a payment method by major corporations has reinforced its status as a digital store of value.
A Fork in the Road
While the current rebound is encouraging, it's crucial to approach it with caution. The cryptocurrency market is inherently volatile, and past performance does not indicate future results. Several factors could derail the recovery and push Bitcoin back into a bear market. For instance, a more aggressive monetary tightening policy by central banks could trigger a renewed sell-off in risk assets. Additionally, increased regulatory scrutiny or negative publicity surrounding Bitcoin could erode investor confidence.
Looking Ahead
Predicting the future of Bitcoin is a complex endeavor. However, investors can make more informed decisions by carefully considering the factors outlined above. Those with a long-term investment horizon may view the recent dip as a buying opportunity, believing that Bitcoin's underlying value proposition remains intact. On the other hand, short-term traders should exercise caution and be prepared for increased volatility.
Ultimately, the fate of Bitcoin will depend on a confluence of factors, including macroeconomic conditions, regulatory developments, and technological advancements. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, it's essential to stay informed and adapt to changing circumstances.

$BTC forecast and current situation video. Resume of all my ideaThis video summarizes my CRYPTOCAP:BTC analysis, which I have published in several ideas. I hope it helps people understand what is going on. This is my first video, and I hope to improve my speaking skills in the future. Thanks for watching.
$BTC supply crash: fairy tale, the untold story."Bitcoin price is set to skyrocket in the near future, claims an analyst on X. The analyst pointed out that the supply of BTC on exchanges has crashed."
There is this common misconception that because the number of Bitcoins held on exchanges is getting lower every passing day, this will create a supply crash and push Bitcoin to the moon!
Actually, if you scratch the surface, the opposite is likely to happen.
Historically, after the halving, the division by two of the number of Bitcoins mined has done exactly that. After a period of time, the demand exceeds the supply, creating a massive bull run.
But this cycle in 2024, everything is different.
Most people only see the superficial aspect: yes, there are fewer Bitcoins available for trading. But what they forget to mention is that in this cycle, a lot of the supply is held by governments and agencies, outside of the market.
Let's summarize the situation. As I am writing, there are 2.8M Bitcoins on the exchanges. However, outside the market:
- 210,000 CRYPTOCAP:BTC are held by the US government.
- 200,000 CRYPTOCAP:BTC are held by Mt. Gox litigators.
- 136,295 CRYPTOCAP:BTC are held by an unknown wallet.
- 285,105 CRYPTOCAP:BTC are held by GBTC,
and many anonymous addresses who can sell at any time.
That means at least 700,000 BTC are held by institutions and government agencies and are about to be sold.
The big difference with this 2024 cycle is that:
- The ones who own these BTC do not care about the price. They are not traders but rather employees with obligations to sell when required.
- About 40% of the available supply is not in the market and therefore will have to be sold.
Today, CRYPTOCAP:BTC dropped 2%, with about 2,000 CRYPTOCAP:BTC sold on Binance. Imagine if one of these entities sold 10,000 CRYPTOCAP:BTC at once?
My point is that the normal CRYPTOCAP:BTC cycle is totally invalidated by this supply of $BTC. Their sale will affect the price of CRYPTOCAP:BTC negatively, at least until the demand catches up. The sale of these BTC might create a panic sell from the ETF issuers, which would wreck the whole crypto space for a while.
Conclusion: the supply crunch will not happen. Instead, these institutions will increase the supply by selling their holdings on the market, negatively affecting the price of Bitcoin.
It is even possible that the bull market could be canceled if too many of these CRYPTOCAP:BTC are sold, nullifying the halving effect and creating a never-before-seen early bear market.

Last 4H close looks good, $56,557 key support to be regained which will resist, $50,552 next key support from here, and $48,362, $46,979 if drops further.

BTCUSD - Short Term RSI Divergences and Key Price MovmentHello, Despite the recent bearish trend, the bullish RSI divergence suggests a potential rebound. This divergence often signals a weakening of the bearish monentum and a possible upward price movement.
My Bias Bearish in the short term due to the series of lower highs and lower lows. However the bullish RSI divergence suggest a potencial rebound or at least a temporary halt to the downtrend.
My Entry/Exit Strategy:
Entry Point: Considering the bullish divergence, entering a long position around the current price level of $60,900 could be a strategic move
Stop Loss: To manage risk, set a stop loss slightly below the recent low at around $56,000.
Take Profit: Potential profit targets could be set around the $64,000 resistance level an d if bullish momentum continues towards the $72,000 peak
Future Prospects Watch for a break below the $56,000 support level to confirm continued bearish momentum break above $64,000 signal the end of downtrend and a resumption of bullish activity.
For Traders: Given the bullish RSI divergence, consider entering a long position while monitoring key support and resistance levels. Ensure proper risk management with stop losses in place.

BTC Swing Short Liquidity Zones:
Sellside Liquidity: Two key levels are identified:
- Near-term sellside liquidity around the support zone (approximately $53,423.59).
- Mid-level sellside liquidity marked above the current price.
Gap Analysis:
- CME Gap: Indicated within the blue shaded area, suggesting a potential drop to fill the gap left by CME futures.
Current Setup:
- The chart shows a potential bearish scenario where the price might drop to fill the CME gap and tap into the identified sellside liquidity areas.

BTC live analysis and Prediction on 8/4/24 My overview is bullish in BTC as per current buyers and sellers activity.
if price test resistance and retrace not more than 50-60% then a bounce is expected.
If price fail to test resistance then this overview will consider as NULL (conditions not fullfilled)
BTC is going to do something interesting...CRYPTOCAP:BTC update
As I mentioned, the $63.8k level is very important, and we are currently at this point. We should either bounce from here or stay around this level for a few days before rallying to $72k.
The high of July 1st ($63.8k) is crucial to hold. If we trade below it for several days, we may see a deeper pullback, which I am not expecting. A prolonged dip below $63.8k could be the first sign that we are heading towards a new macro low (below $53k), potentially leading to a bear market for the rest of the year. In that case, the next significant opportunity might not come until 2025.
For now, I am holding everything tightly. This is a consolidation phase, not a bear market, although altcoins might take a hit due to BTC dominance being very bullish. Only strong coins are likely to move with BTC.
MIDTERM BEARISHWe are entering the strongest resistence area that was not successfullly broken yet (4 years).
Also we are at the VAH of this huge consolidation! Bearish divergence is looming on 4H charts... A lot of bearish confluence!
Playing some shorts at this lvl is in your favour.
Always take partial profit on the way down.

Good Bounce in BTC as expectedBTC created a sharp bounce from 50-60% Retracement levels which was expected. But I was expecting price will consolidate near resistance level but price directly break the resistance in this quick move thats why there this a retracement. People booked there profit after a quick move
IF there was consolidation near resistance then sharp continuation was expected.
