Bitcoin - BTC lacks a trend at the moment
After reaching our price target of 40 000 USD, we predicted a temporary bottom for Bitcoin. We suggested that the price of BTCUSD might be setting itself for sideways price action. That has been the case for the past week. The prevailing trend in Bitcoin weakened even further, and volume declined. In the short term, we remain neutral on BTCUSD. However, in the medium term, we remain inclined towards the bearish scenario. Despite that, we decided not to set any price target for BTCUSD, mainly due to a lack of momentum within the prevailing trend. Although, we think Bitcoin is likely to drop to 35 000 USD (and possibly lower) if the general stock market continues lower (or if BTC sees more decoupling in the positive correlation between the two). We also see additional pressure for the higher price of BTC from the FED and higher interest rates.
