The market is uneasy ahead of the halving event
Aktualisiert
After failing to gain bullish momentum earlier this month (with a breakout to the upside from a triangle-like pattern), Bitcoin continues to trade erratically. Currently, it hovers around the $63,500 price tag, which appears close to the ascending trendline that connects peaks from December 2023 to mid-January 2024. If this trendline is broken to the downside, it will bolster a bearish case in the short term. The same will apply to a breakout in MACD below the midpoint (on the daily time frame), a bearish crossover between 20-day and 50-day SMAs, and a further uptick in ADX (on the daily chart, signaling bearish momentum is growing). Considering these developments could foreshadow a significant correction (or even a trend reversal), we think it is proper to stay highly cautious. While technicals on the daily chart are growing increasingly bearish, there have not been any significant changes in the number of Bitcoin addresses with balances exceeding 100 BTC and those exceeding 1,000 BTC. This is quite odd, as we would expect large players to unload some more coins amid high prices and the approaching halving event.

Anmerkung
Bitcoin broke below the ascending trendline and formed a new low at $59,672 before retracing higher. By establishing these new lows, BTCUSD could be forming a descending channel. Illustration 1.04
