Bitcoin’s price has been subject to significant volatility in the past 24 hours, experiencing a 3.35% decrease. After reaching a peak of $70,041.27, the price eventually dropped to $66,356.95. Just three days ago, Bitcoin hit a monthly high of $71,979, but the bullish momentum couldn’t be sustained. Despite this setback, Bitcoin has seen a 2.30% increase over the past week, with trading volume rising by 42%.
Today marks a significant event for the cryptocurrency market as Ethereum ETFs have been approved. This news has generated anticipation among investors, reminiscent of the reaction when Bitcoin ETFs were approved, leading to market volatility. Ethereum saw a surge in price, reaching its highest point since mid-March at over $3,900 early on Thursday, only to then fall to around $3,700.
Analysts suggest that Bitcoin may need to reach a bottom below $56,000 before experiencing a historic bull run. Currently, it is 8.25% away from its all-time high. Additionally, the recent activity of “whales” – large Bitcoin holders – has caught attention. Two dormant wallets, inactive for almost 11 years, suddenly moved Bitcoin worth $60.9 million. This activity coincides with a decline in key on-chain metrics, which could unsettle market participants.
When analyzing Bitcoin’s price movements, it appears to be following a bearish trend. The 9-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is currently positioned below the trading price at $67,130. However, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests a neutral condition, standing at 53.
If the bulls regain control, Bitcoin could surge above $68,106 and potentially reach $73,877. On the other hand, if the bears prevail, the price could drop to $60,380 and potentially further to $50,274.
