Bitcoin - The bottom fishing turns out to be painful for retail

Yesterday, we warned that the (irrational) bullish exuberance among retail investors foreshadows more pain for the price of Bitcoin. Shortly after that, Bitcoin invalidated its bullish breakout for the third time and started to fall. Finally, after erasing more than 7%, Bitcoin halted its decline at 29 309.84 USD. Since then, BTCUSD has been mainly trading sideways. We continue to be bearish on Bitcoin, and we maintain our price target of 25 000 USD. Our view is supported by bearish fundamental factors like higher interest rates in the U.S. and economic tightening, which will put more pressure on the U.S. economy and cryptocurencies. As a result, we expect the downtrend to unravel in the coming months and Bitcoin to form a new low.

An hourly volume increase suggests dip buyers are returning to the market. We will monitor volume closely. Favorably, we would like to see an eventual decrease in volume accompanying the price increase.

The volume starts to flash a warning signal.

We will pay close attention to the volume at the U.S. market open; we will monitor it to see if it is sufficient to sustain a higher price.
