Bitcoin - The bullish breakout and potential bull trap
Yesterday, Bitcoin broke above its resistance at 31 411.48 USD. In our last post on BTCUSD, we noted that this would be a bullish development. However, we also said we would pay close attention to volume if the breakout occurred. Currently, the volume does not seem sufficient to sustain the rally from the breakout zone (31 411.48 USD). In addition to that, the stock market shows weakness which weighs on the price of Bitcoin. At the same time, we also foresee pressure from fundamental factors like higher interest rates and economic tightening. As a result, we have no reason to change our bearish outlook for BTCUSD; we still expect it to make new lows.
*Although, in the short-term, if the stock market erases losses and continues to march higher, it will provide a further lifeline for BTC (temporarily).
