Cryptocurrencies have suffered a major setback today, with significant drops in major alternative coins including Bitcoin. The market conditions deteriorated following the recent announcement of interest rates by the Federal Reserve, leading to continued price declines. In the midst of this turmoil, a renowned market analyst has provided a more hopeful outlook, offering temporary relief to market observers.
What does the TD Sequential indicator show?
Renowned analyst Ali Martinez has suggested that a key indicator may signal an upward trend for Bitcoin. Martinez used the Tom DeMark (TD) Sequential indicator on the social media platform X to point out a potential buying signal on the hourly chart for Bitcoin. The DeMark Sequential indicator is a tool used by traders to identify potential reversal points in asset prices. Martinez emphasized that historical data shows that Bitcoin often experiences a strong rebound in July after negative growth in June, with an average return rate of 7.98% this month and a median return rate of 9.60%.
Has the decline of Bitcoin ended?
Despite the optimistic indicators, Martinez warned that the downturn of Bitcoin may not be over yet. He noted that the liquidation of long positions totaling $2.809 billion and short positions of $25.4 million is relatively low, indicating that the market has not yet finished its decline. He pointed out that previous liquidation events have exceeded $1 billion, indicating that either the decline is not over yet or that short positions are about to disappear.
Key takeaways for investors
Monitor the TD Sequential indicator for potential buying signals. Consider historical trends, especially the rebound trend of Bitcoin in July. Exercise caution with low liquidation volumes, which may indicate further market declines.
Current market snapshot
At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin is $58,100, a 2.5% decline in the past 24 hours. Earlier this week, BTC had surpassed $63,000, indicating a larger decline than expected. BTC market capitalization has dropped to $1.147 trillion, consistent with the overall market downturn. However, trading volume has surged by 43% to $401.11 billion, indicating panic selling by investors due to the continued market downturn.
Factors such as government selling of BTC and the repayment of creditors by Mt. Gox have also had a significant impact on market dynamics. Although analysts remain hopeful, these factors may lead to a more pronounced market decline. Disclaimer: The information contained in this article does not constitute investment advice.
