What the daily BTC/USDT chart says
From a technical analysis point of view, Bitcoin is once again in overbought territory as shall be explained via the following daily BTC/USDT chart.
From the chart, the following can be observed
- Bitcoin’s current price at $27,576 is less than $500 away from $28k
- Bitcoin is in parabolic territory as seen through the large deviation from its daily moving averages
- The daily MACD further confirms an overbought situation that is yet to show signs of slowing down
- Trade volume is in the green, albeit reducing
- The daily MFI and RSI are high at 88 and 84 respectively
Summing it up, Bitcoin has once again gone parabolic with $28k looking like the logical next level that BTC will conquer. However, as with all parabolic movements of any asset, Bitcoin risks undergoing a heavy correction in the near future. Bitcoin testing $30k increases the chances of such a correction being a large crash as explained by Timothy Peterson of Cane Island Alternative Advisors.
Quick take:
- Timothy Peterson has identified $30k as a possible ‘red alert’ zone for Bitcoin
- At this level, Bitcoin has a higher chance of experiencing a future large crash such as the ones witnessed in 2012, 2014 and 2018
- Bitcoin has broken the $25k, $26k and $27k price ceilings in less than 24 hours
- $28k is a few hundred dollars away for Bitcoin and could be the logical next target
Bitcoin and crypto analyst Timothy Peterson has identified $30k as a ‘red alert’ zone for Bitcoin using his Metcalfe Model. Mr. Peterson shared his analysis via Twitter and explained that Bitcoin breaking this level, would increase its chances of a future large crash similar to those experienced in 2012, 2014 and 2018.
His exact analysis was as follows with a chart highlighting the ‘red zone’ for Bitcoin according to his Metcalfe model.
“Red Alert” would be at $30,000 #Bitcoin. Doesn’t mean sell, just means the risk of a future large crash (2012, ’14, ’18) is nearing 100%.
