Cryptocurrencies are retreating from recent record highs as the sell-off on the Nasdaq gains strength and concerns around a slowing US economy have increased. A weakening consumer could mean lower risk appetite and a narrower range of potentially interested buyers of speculative assets. A recession would likely do nothing good for the crypto market. With its declining reaction in recent days, bitcoin has confirmed that its role as a recession or banking crisis hedging asset is still uncertain. Is the king of cryptocurrencies in for a trend change?
A change in the crypto trend?
Looking at the chart of BITCOIN on the D1 interval, we can see that the RSI indicator has risen since the beginning of the year, but since then it has been recording lower and lower levels, although the price of the largest cryptocurrency has been steadily rising. This phenomenon is called a bearish divergence, and it can signify the weakening strength of buyers and a change in the trend. The closest support level for declines is the 23.6 Fibonacci retracement of the upward wave initiated on March 11, when the cryptocurrency rebounded sharply amid the collapsing SVB. Source: xStation5
