Heads or tails for Bitcoin?

Wednesday, June 15, 2022

With Bitcoin battered amid inflation’s reign and worries about a hawkish Fed, the cryptocurrency has been in free fall in recent days. Moreover, with more than 23% of the market cap wiped out this week (as of Jun. 14), investors’ diamond hands aren’t as strong as they once were.
On June 14, CNBC reported that Coinbase – one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges – is laying off 18% of its staff. CEO Brian Armstrong told employees, “We appear to be entering a recession after a 10+ year economic boom. A recession could lead to another crypto winter and could last for an extended period.”
But could suppressed sentiment provide us with a buying opportunity?
Heads or tails for Bitcoin?

Aiding the bull case, Bitcoin futures crashed below the support of $28,800. However, the intraweek low was $20,775, and it’s no coincidence that support materialised near the 2017 weekly high of $20,650. As a result, if the latter holds, Bitcoin has a pathway back to $28,800.

 

Bitcoin’s weekly RSI fell below 27. The last time this occurred (December 2018), the selling stopped and consolidation ensued (see the arrows). Meaning that green shoots may provide a reprieve.

 

However, with the Fed on a hawkish warpath and global central banks also dealing with unanchored inflation, higher interest rates have been Bitcoin’s Kryptonite. Therefore, a breakdown below $20,650 puts $12,600 in play. This level is close to the 2019 and 2020 weekly highs.

 

Should you hold or head for the exit?

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
