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?
