Expert Commentary on Bitcoin
Readings above 50 and an uptrend suggest bulls still have the advantage, while readings below 50 indicate the opposite. The indicator has dropped below 70 and is moving downward. Crypto analysts and traders at X are mostly bearish on the short-term BTC trend. Altcoin Sherpa mentioned that BTC could fall to the 0.382 Fib retracement support level of $36,400. CredibullCrypto and TheTradingHubb, due to wave counting, suggest another low is on the way:
In my last video share, I wanted to review the LTF BTC count but forgot to mention it, here’s a chart. Also, it supports the idea of another small push down before we completely reverse.
However, IncomeSharks goes against the community consensus, suggesting that BTC could rise to $44,000 in the short term.
