The chances of another volatile move are growing
After Bitcoin's route two weeks ago, when it briefly jumped above $28,000, the price action started to trend sideways again. In addition to that, technicals on the daily chart began to flatten, suggesting the short-term bearish trend is weakening and turning neutral. To support a bearish case, we want to see RSI and MACD start declining and Stochastic continue oscillating within the bearish zone. On top of that, we want to see ADX resume growth, which would imply that the bearish trend is regaining momentum. On the contrary, to support the bullish case, we want to see the mentioned indicators turn to the upside and bullish crossover between DM+ and DM-.
At the moment, we continue to be inclined toward the bearish outlook and expect Bitcoin to drop to the area near $24,000. However, considering that volatility dropped significantly over the past few days and the trend is turning neutral, the chances of a volatile move to either side grow again. Though, there is one thing we want to point out. The data from LookIntoBitcoin indicates no accumulation among large players following the price bust two weeks ago, suggesting “smart money” is not buying yet. As a result, we think the next volatile move may favor the downside over the upside.

On the weekly chart, we continue to observe MACD. If it breaks below the midpoint, it will be very bearish for Bitcoin.

As Bitcoin dropped to the vicinity of $25,000, there is one more support level we are paying attention to (at $24,756). If this level is broken to the downside, it will mark a new low since mid-June 2023 and strengthen the bearish case.
