Signal Behind Past 60% Bitcoin Crashes Returns, Price Hits $88,800

An analyst highlighted a technical analysis signal indicating potential price declines for Bitcoin. The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator has turned bearish, with the MACD line crossing below the signal line.

  • The MACD indicator consists of two lines: the MACD line and the signal line. Crossovers can signify buy or sell signals.
  • The recent crossover indicates bearish momentum, similar to past instances that led to more than 60% declines in Bitcoin's price.
  • Analyst Ali Martinez suggests this pattern could point to a $40,000 level if history repeats itself.
  • Additionally, a "death cross" between Bitcoin's 50-day SMA and 200-day SMA has formed, marking local bottoms in previous years but initiating a bear market in 2022.
  • Bitcoin's price is currently around $88,800, down over 4% in the past week.

The situation remains uncertain, as it is unclear whether these patterns will lead to similar outcomes as before.
