Bitcoin

April

Bitcoin flash crashed on July 4 and 5, extending losses from all-time highs to about 30%. Though there was a relief bounce over the weekend, forcing the world’s most valuable coin up by nearly 11%, BTC remains within a bearish formation.

One analyst who <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://x.com/bitcoinmunger/status/1810010996414513254" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">took</a> to X confirmed this assessment, adding that the optimism over the last 48 hours could be quashed in the coming sessions. With BTC not out of the woods, at least from technical formation, the analyst predicted not only will the coin sink below last week’s lows, but it will likely break the psychological $50,000 mark.

Pointing to historical price action, the coin said Bitcoin could drop to as low as $48,000 in the coming days, roughly 40% from its all-time high. 
When this happens, and following the price action seen in 2017, when the coin also crashed by 40% after local peaks, the coin will resume the uptrend. 
Even so, looking at the analyst’s assessment, the swing high and low anchoring of the Fibonacci retracement tool is subjective. For now, if September 2023 to March 2024 range acts as swing and lows, a 40% drop from local highs places Bitcoin $10,000 lower at around $37,000. <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/x/A9SBx7sz/" rel="nofollow"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full" src="https://www.tradingview.com/x/A9SBx7sz/" alt="Bitcoin price trending downward on the weekly chart | Source: BTCUSDT via Binance, TradingView" width="1233" height="592"></a> 
Cracks are beginning to form on the weekly chart. After last week’s losses, the coin firmly closed below the 20-period moving average, placing sellers in control. Confirmation of last week’s losses could set the ball rolling, sparking more losses in the short term, pushing the world’s most valuable coin to $50,000 or even $40,000.

However, after the cool-off and the depth doesn’t matter, another analyst predicts the coin will bounce off strongly. If BTC finds support at around the $47,000 to $50,000 level, the probability of it floating to at least $102,000 is high. 
This is the first level of the Fibonacci extension. At its high, the coin could soar to as high as $242,000 in the sessions to come.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
The confidence that BTC will bounce back after the current sell-off, sparked most by Mt. Gox liquidation fears and the constant dump by the German government, is based on history. After the Halving, Bitcoin prices tend to recover steadily.
