Crypto analyst Pejman has warned that the Bitcoin price could witness a further crash in the short term. He revealed the level the flagship crypto needs to hold to avoid these “heavy declines.” Bitcoin Price Could Witness Further Crash If It Falls Below This Level In a TradingView post, Pejman stated that the Bitcoin price could record heavy declines if it falls below $83,500. This warning came following a bullish analysis in which he remarked that BTC seems to be completing the bullish flag pattern. The analyst added that he expects the flagship crypto to rally to the upside as it looks to fill the CME gap at the $86,000 range. Related Reading This eventually happened as the Bitcoin price rallied to as high as $88,000 amid the massive volatility that occurred following Trump’s reciprocal tariffs announcement. However, Pejman suggested that the rally to $88,000 is likely the local top for BTC, stating that there is a possibility that Bitcoin will fall again following this price surge.

This price crash occurred as Trump unveiled the customized tariff rates for countries such as China, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Japan. This move from the US president is expected to trigger a trade war, with these countries retaliating with counter-tariffs, which is bearish for BTC and the broader crypto market. BTC Could Still Drop To As Low As $78,000 Based on crypto analyst Kevin Capital’s analysis, the Bitcoin price could soon drop to as low as $78,000. The analyst noted that there is a little bit of long liquidity at the $78,000 to $80,000 level, but there is also a lot of liquidity in the $87,000 to $90,000 range. Related Reading He further remarked that market makers could look to transact in that $87,000 to $90,000 range just before Trump’s tariff announcement, which happened as predicted. With the Bitcoin price sucking up the liquidty at the $87,000 to $90,000 range, it looks likely to drop to the $78,000 to $80,000 range to also suck up the liquidity at that range. Despite the Bitcoin price’s downtrend over the past two months, crypto analyst Rekt Capital is still bullish on the flagship crypto’s trajectory. He noted that BTC experienced a 32% downtrend from mid-March 2024 to early September 2024, a pullback that lasted almost six months before its price broke to new all-time highs (ATHs). As such, the analyst suggested this downtrend is nothing to worry about as BTC could still rally to new highs in a flash. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $83,000, down over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin Fills CME Gap Between $78,000 and $80,000 – Is A Reversal Around The Corner?
Este artículo también está disponible en español. Earlier today, Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $80,000 for the first time in over three months. According to data from Binance, BTC hit a low of $78,258, filling the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap between $78,000 and $80,000. Bitcoin Fills CME Gap, Is It Time For Rebound? With today’s dip, BTC has now filled every CME gap since March 2024. At the time of writing, the leading cryptocurrency is trading in the low $80,000 range. Related Reading For the uninitiated, the CME gap refers to the price difference that occurs on the CME Bitcoin futures chart between Friday’s closing price and Monday’s opening price, as CME does not trade on weekends. These gaps are often filled later as Bitcoin’s price naturally retraces to these levels, acting as key support or resistance zones. A new CME gap has now emerged due to the ongoing market sell-off, triggered by US President Donald Trump’s confirmation that trade tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico will take effect on March 4. According to crypto analyst Rekt Capital, the new CME gap lies between $92,800 and $94,000. If past data is anything to go by, this new CME gap may work as a price magnet, pulling BTC upward and initiating a bullish trend reversal. Source: Rekt Capital on X For example, back in January 2021, BTC filled a CME gap between $29,410 and $33,050. After filling the gap, BTC continued to dip further, before surging to as high as $40,000. That said, macroeconomic and geopolitical factors remain significant. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) and Trump continue to clash over interest rate policies. While the Fed has maintained that it is in no rush to cut rates, Trump has repeatedly called for immediate reductions. However, positive inflation data could pressure the Fed to accelerate rate cuts. According to an X post by The Kobeissi Letter, January’s PCE inflation – the Fed’s preferred measure – aligned with its projection of 2.5%. Similarly, core inflation – which measures the change in consumer prices excluding volatile items like food and energy – was in-line with expectations of 2.6% as well. However, data from CME FedWatch suggests that the Fed is likely to keep interest rates unchanged at the March 19 FOMC meeting. Is The BTC Bottom In? Although BTC has fallen nearly 20% over the past month, some analysts believe further downside may still be ahead. A recent forecast from Standard Chartered suggests BTC could decline another 10% before finding support. Related Reading However, there are also signs that BTC may be forming a local bottom. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that sell-side pressure is easing, which could indicate that BTC is stabilizing. Additionally, the Cryptoasset Sentiment Index recently flashed a strong contrarian buy signal, further hinting at a potential price floor for BTC. At press time, BTC trades at $83,508, down 2.5% in the past 24 hours.

Is Bitcoin Showing Early Signs Of Bullish Divergence? Analyst Explains
Este artículo también está disponible en español. According to a recent post on X by crypto analyst Rekt Capital, Bitcoin (BTC) may finally be showing early signs of bullish divergence. If this pattern plays out, BTC could target the $101,000 level as its first milestone before moving higher. Bitcoin Showing Signs Of Bullish Divergence? Analyst Weighs In Since the beginning of February, the flagship cryptocurrency has endured multiple macroeconomic uncertainties, including US President Donald Trump’s proposed trade tariffs, the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) hawkish statements, and the stock market downturn triggered by the release of China’s DeepSeek AI model. Related Reading Despite these challenges, BTC has remained range-bound between $93,000 and $98,000. However, early signs of a potential bullish divergence are beginning to emerge. Rekt Capital pointed out BTC’s repeated failure to achieve a successful daily close above the $97,700 level, forcing it to find support around $93,000 at the lower end of its trading channel. While BTC continues to consolidate within this tight range, it is displaying a bullish divergence, as the cryptocurrency’s relative strength index (RSI) has formed a higher low on the daily chart. Source: Rekt Capital on X In this context, bullish divergence occurs when the price continues making lower lows while the RSI reverses course and forms a higher low. This momentum shift often signals an impending trend reversal, potentially propelling BTC toward the crucial $100,000 level. However, not all analysts are convinced that BTC is out of the woods just yet. Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader shared his perspective on BTC’s price action, emphasizing how the top cryptocurrency recently touched the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $93,500. They cautioned: Historically, closing below this level often means a drop to the 200EMA—currently at $86k. But until the daily 100EMA breaks, there’s no need for panic. Stay sharp, the market is at a pivotal point! Will BTC Fill The CME Gap? Meanwhile, crypto market analyst CryptoBullet pointed to a CME gap from November that BTC may need to fill before resuming its upward momentum. The analyst highlighted a double-top formation, which could lead BTC to retrace down to $76,000 to close the gap. Source: CryptoBullet on X Related Reading For those unfamiliar, the “CME gap” refers to a price difference on CME’s Bitcoin futures chart that arises when trading pauses for the weekend while BTC continues moving on other exchanges. These gaps often attract price action, as traders anticipate a revisit due to liquidity, technical factors, and market psychology. On a more optimistic note, Bitwise executives maintain that Bitcoin currently offers a “generational opportunity” despite the ongoing global macroeconomic turmoil. At press time, BTC trades at $96,168, up 1.3% in the past 24 hours.
