The analyst further stated that he expects BTC to experience another interim bounce at around $60,000 before the Bitcoin price crash to $50,000. Meanwhile, CrediBULL Crypto expects a rejection soon, meaning a price correction from the $66,000 range could be imminent. In another X post, the analyst provided more insights into why he was still bearish.

He stated that the recent BTC rally was primarily driven by the perpetuals market, not the spot market. He highlighted the divergence between the perp and spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) and how short liquidations helped fuel the move up.

CrediBULL Crypto added that the spot market has already begun selling off the spike while the open interest (OI) rises and perp CVD continues to climb without funding.

Basically, the analyst suggested that a Bitcoin crash is likely to happen after this rally since the price surge has pushed the flagship crypto into the local supply from the last breakdown. This means that many sellers are waiting to sell at this level, with such selling pressure likely to send BTC tumbling again.

Another crypto analyst, BTC Insider, shares a similar bearish sentiment as CrediBULL Crypto. He predicts that there will still be a price crash to $50,000. The analyst stated that he will still be looking to short the flagship crypto even if its price reaches between $68,000 and $70,000.

BTC Is At A Crucial Point

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also suggested that the Bitcoin price is at a crucial point, stating that the flagship crypto is, for the fifth time in recent times, testing its 200-day moving average (MA). A rejection at this level would likely spark another price crash, although it remains to be seen if it would drop to $50,000 as CrediBULL Crypto predicts.

Martinez had earlier predicted that there could be a Bitcoin price crash to as low as $57,000 once the crypto rebounds to $66,000, as it has done. However, he isn’t as bearish as CrediBULL Crypto as he expects BTC to break out to a new all-time high (ATH) of $78,000 once it retests $57,000. For now, the analyst believes that Bitcoin would need to hold above $65,000 to confirm a bullish reversal.

This aligns with a CoinGape analysis, which noted that a weekly candlestick close above the $65,000 support level could propel a rally to $70,000.

Meanwhile, based on an analysis by trading firm QCP Capital, BTC is on the right path to hitting a new ATH. The firm noted that the crypto is following historical patterns. In 2016, BTC didn’t begin its rally until three before the US election and its price doubled by January 2017.

Something similar happened in 2020 as the Bitcoin price started rallying from $11,000 just three weeks before the US election, reaching a high of $42,000 by January the following year. As such, BTC could well be on its a way to a new ATH which it could reach by January next year.

Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part – in fact, far from it.

Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.

When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.

Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books – ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.

Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.

Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time – he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.

Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon – cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment – spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.

With the recent spurt of bullish momentum, Bitcoin (BTC) retested the $64K hurdle but failed to sustain it. As a result, BTC is retracing. The daily chart shows a bearish outlook for Bitcoin price that could undo the past week’s gains. 

Bitcoin Price Stumbles At $64K

Crypto markets enjoyed bullish sentiment in the past week as Bitcoin price hit $64K over the weekend. This enthusiasm continued into the weekday as BTC saw another buying spike in the US trading session. In hindsight, the uptick pushed Bitcoin deep into the $64K territory, forming a local top and leading to a 3.49% crash.

As of Tuesday, October 8, Bitcoin price is up 0.58% and remains indecisive. 

Let’s explore why BTC could be crashing. 

US-Listed Chinese Stocks Plunge After Historic Rally

The Chinese stock market saw a massive uptick after China announced aggressive stimulus plans in late September. This move caused a historic rally that led some of the Indices to observe the best performance since 2008. The stimulus-led rally pushed the CSI 300, HSI, and SSE Composite to rally 36% and 30%, respectively.

Additionally, US-listed Chinese stocks like Ali Baba, BiliBili, Baidu are down 8.9%, 17.2% and 10.1%, respectively.  Analysts attribute the downfall of Chinese stocks to a loss of momentum. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index (HSI) tumbled 9.5%, which is the worst performance seen since 2008. 

BTC Price Analysis: What’s next for Bitcoin?

The outlook for Bitcoin remains bearish is as explained in a previous CoinGape article. BTC price is following scenario one and has promptly retraced 3.54% after piercing the daily resistance zone, extending from $63.9K to $65K.

The RSI surged from around 50 to 65 but failed to hit the overbought zone of 70. As Bitcoin price trades around $62.5K, investors must pay attention to the $61.8K support level, which provided a massive foothold last week, facilitating a 4.25% rally.

According to the previous Bitcoin price forecast, a breakdown of this level seems likely and could trigger a 7% correction that stabilizes around the $57.9K to $57.2K support levels. 

Popular Analyst Forecasts New ATH For BTC

While the short-term outlook remains bearish, Philip Swift, a popular crypto analyst, notes that timeframe analysis that compares BTC and global liquidity is noise. A zoomed-out chart shows that the global liquidity has hit a new ATH, which should lead to Bitcoin hitting a new high as well.

While the long-term outlook for Bitcoin price remains bullish, investors need to understand that the short-to-mid-term scenario remains indecisive due to multiple reasons – uncertain macroeconomic policies, geopolitical tensions, risk-off factors due to the war between Iran and Israel, and so on.

Regardless, a swift breakout and flip of the $65K hurdle into a support floor will suggest that bulls mean business. This move will invalidate the bearish thesis and propel BTC to $70K. In some cases, this development could also push Bitcoin price to set up a new all-time high.
