$50,000 range now “potential” BTC price target
In its latest findings, onchain analytics platform CryptoQuant, meanwhile, warned that the Bitcoin bear market was already underway.
A combination of downward-sloping simple moving averages (SMAs) and price trading below key trendlines formed the basis for a grim new crypto market prediction by contributor Pelin Ay.
“Price reactions are being sold at declining moving averages, meaning these averages have turned into dynamic resistance levels. Attempts to break higher occur with low volume, showing that buyers lack strength. Selling volume on red candles is noticeably stronger than buying volume on green candles,” she wrote in a “Quicktake” blog post Sunday.
“During recovery attempts, buying volume fails to confirm upside moves. In short, Bitcoin is currently in a reaction phase within a bear market. The structure remains bearish, and upward moves lack conviction.”
While acknowledging that Ether (ETH) had staged a stronger recovery from recent long-term lows, Ay said that even here, there was little reason for optimism.
“For now, the Bitcoin rally appears to be over,” she concluded.
“A deeper bear market phase, potentially toward the $50K region, is likely before the next major upward move.”
As Cointelegraph reported, calls for much lower BTC price support retests have been growing throughout December.
