Yashu Gola48 minutes agoIs Bitcoin price going to crash again?Bitcoin is still down 60% from its November 2021 all-time high, so many traders wonder if the BTC price could crash further in the coming months.636 Total views4 Total sharesListen to article 0:00Market AnalysisJoin us on social networksBitcoin (BTC) is still in a bullish reversal when looking at this year’s price chart. The BTC price has gained 70% after bottoming out at around $16,800 in November 2022, defying rate hike fears while riding on growing exchange-traded fund approval optimism. 


However, in recent months, Bitcoin bulls have failed to sustain the BTC price above $30,000. Therefore, with the “bullish” halving still over 200 days away, many traders wonder if the Bitcoin price will crash again in the coming months.

From a technical standpoint, the Bitcoin price has stabilized around the 0.236 Fib line of its Fibonacci retracement graph drawn from the $69,000 swing high (the market top) to the $15,900 swing low (the local market bottom).

In 2018, the BTC/USD pair stabilized around its 0.236 Fib line at around $6,790 for months before dropping toward $3,000 in December. The $3,000 level coincided with what is now multiyear ascending trendline support (marked as bear market support in the chart above).


Bitcoin is now halfway repeating 2018 already with price flatlining at the 0.236 Fib line. A breakdown from this level means BTC price will see $21,500 as the next major support level, down 17.75% from current levels.Strong dollar adds to Bitcoin’s downside risks


Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the greenback’s strength against a pool of top foreign currencies, has reached its highest level since November 2022.

In other words, Bitcoin’s upside prospects could be limited if the dollar continues to climb following the DXY golden cross.“Old” Bitcoin being sold?


Bitcoin’s on-chain metrics are painting a mixed outlook.


Bitcoin’s coin days destroyed (CDD) metric, measuring long-term investors’ actions, spiked on Sept. 19, indicating that some long-term BTC holders moved their coins, suggesting possible profit-taking or repositioning.

On the other hand, Bitcoin reserves across all crypto exchanges continue declining, which hints at increasing hodling behavior among investors.Bitcoin exchanges’ BTC reserves. Source: CryptoQuant What Bitcoin trading analysts are saying


Bitcoin analysts are also divided over where BTC price may be headed in the months ahead. 


Popular trader Skew argues that the BTC price can hit $30,000 by October, citing thin ask liquidity near $27,000, possibly leading to a breakout.

“History suggests that the next 140 days will be crucial for dollar-cost-averaging in preparation for the Post-Halving parabolic rally,” said Rekt Capital, adding:“If Bitcoin is going to retrace from [the current price levels], it will most likely be during this current 140 day period.“
