Is Bitcoin (BTC) losing its bullish momentum?

After a number of weeks of growth, we see that the Bitcoin (BTC) price is falling back somewhat after attacking the $25,000 resistance at the beginning of the week. In doing so, as we indicated earlier, it is especially significant that the currency has now been trading below $24,000 for some time. With that, analysts fear that the currency is losing its bullish momentum and there are indications of that.

Thus, we see that the open interest in the futures market is falling, which is a bearish signal. On top of that, the so-called funding rates are shooting below neutral. This is an indicator that traders do not expect a recovery of the BTC price in the short term.

Furthermore, we see that the price of the US dollar is recovering. This is not a good sign according to analyst Justin Bennett.

GM legends!

Expect #stocks and #crypto to struggle while the US dollar is doing this.

The $DXY just took out 107 on its way to 107.40.

In doing so, he expects that the bottom for the BTC price and other crypto has not yet been reached.

This is mind-blowing.

The S&P 500 is mimicking the 2008 crash. Even the timing since the ATH is nearly identical.

What is the BTC forecast for the rest of the year?

He is not alone in that opinion. Indeed, the analysts at Crypto Quant note that the bear rally of the beginning of this year was less drastic in both duration and percentage decline than the crypto winters of 2014 and 2018. With Justin Bennett, they conclude that the bear market has not yet bottomed out. They assume a consolidating, slightly bearish phase that will lead to a sharp decline towards the end of the year.

With that, they believe the price will end the year between $10,000.00 and $14,500.00 based on historical analysis. So that’s not even enough for an imitation Bugatti. Fortunately, after that they do expect a bull phase that will continue until the next halving in 2024.

By the way, the question is whether we can still use these analyses as a guide. After all, these are based on the “halving cycles theory” and this was broken earlier this year. In addition, there are many more institutional investors active in this bear market than during the previous crypto winters.

Our Bitcoin (BTC) price forecast for the weekend

Currently we see that Bitcoin (BTC) is trapped in a bandwidth between resistances at $24,500 and $25,000 on the upside. After the previous repelled attacks and the subsequent decline in the BTC price, we do not expect a bullish breakout this weekend.

With that, a consolidating Bitcoin (BTC) price is obvious, with the psychologically important $23,000 threshold and the support below that at the 200-week moving average (around $22,800). As long as the currency manages to stay above this, we can expect a consolidating picture. If the currency drops through these support levels we expect a bearish price development.
