Bitcoin Holds Above $83k
Bitcoin is currently trading around $84,000 and successfully defending the key support at $83,000. A single weekly close below this level is not enough for bears to regain control. As long as there are not multiple weekly closes below, the status quo remains unchanged.
📈 Technical Analysis
- Bitcoin is bouncing off the 50-day moving average (approximately $81,700) and showing relative strength.
- Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and altcoin indices (Total 2, Total 3) have lost their 50-day moving averages – a sign of weakness.
- Bitcoin dominance is rising to 61% and is expected to increase further.
🔍 Macroeconomic Context
- Expectation of tighter monetary policy (Fed funds rate, 2-year yield) favors Bitcoin over altcoins.
- The next major catalyst is the FOMC meeting in about a week.
🕵️ Seasonal Pattern
- Bitcoin forms lows around the 15th of the month and rally highs around the 21st – with residual strength until early the following month.
- If this pattern continues, Bitcoin could rise further after the midterms.
Conclusion: As long as Bitcoin holds above $83,000, the burden of proof lies with the bears. The bulls are in control.
