Analysts warn: BTC drop to as low as $ 44,000 possible

 


There was a double peak ahead of Bitcoin's dip to below $ 48,000 on December 28th. Some analysts believe the price could fall as low as $ 44,000 before resuming its upward trend.


It looks like the year-end rally that many crypto traders have been hoping for will have to wait until 2022. In Bitcoin ( BTC ), the bears gained the upper hand on December 28, bringing the BTC rate below the support at $ 48,000. 



This was followed by a second wave that caused the largest cryptocurrency to drop to a daily low of $ 47,318. Here the bulls were able to intervene and stop a further decline.


What are market analysts saying about the reasons for this latest correction and what should we look out for towards the end of 2021?


Bearish RSI divergence close to reversal


Twitter user John Wick gave some technical reasons for this correction shortly before the end of the year. He posted the following chart showing a bearish "fake out" as price gradually reversed.


Wick stated:


"There was a double peak, which was clearly determined by the bearish RSI divergence. Note how the price development trended up while the RSI trended down. There was also a bearish alpha thrust and squeeze fake out."

Potential decline to $ 44,000


Bitcoin's struggle with the 21-week EMA can be seen on the following chart by market analyst Rekt Capital. The weekly chart shows how difficult it was for BTC to break out of the technical indicator.


According to Rekt Capital, this price development is similar to a scenario that existed in May. "Bitcoin is consolidating for several weeks between the two bull market EMAs". The rate could soon drop back to $ 44,000. He further stated:


"Historically, BTC has seen wicks down into the orange zone on that red retest. Therefore, a further dip into the orange zone is possible."



Waiting for breakout above $ 52,000


The analyst Don Alt has made some suggestions of what traders should look out for over the next few days and weeks. He posted the following chart, which shows that Bitcoin is in a "fairly clear downtrend" for the time being.


Don Alt said there isn't much to see as long as Bitcoin is in a range at current levels. He is waiting for a clear breakout above the first red resistance zone on the chart above, which is around $ 52,000. Don Alt continued:


"Above $ 52,000 I would hope, above $ 60,000 the wild bull market would be back. Until either of those two levels is reached, I will keep an eye out for deep wicks and concentrate on more exciting things."


The total market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies is now 2.234 trillion. US dollars and Bitcoin's market share is 40.3 percent.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
