Bitcoin - It is game over for BTCUSD
Updated
Bitcoin had struggled around the 30 000 USD price tag over the past two weeks when low volumes proved insufficient to propel Bitcoin higher. After several false breakouts above the short-term resistance, Bitcoin always erased its profits immediately. Currently, BTCUSD trades slightly below 30 000 USD. We continue to be bearish on it as we expect economic conditions to worsen with the upcoming FOMC meeting next week. Therefore, our price target stays at 25 000 USD.

As the FED meeting approaches next week, the VIX started to manifest signs of awakening. We believe the FED will worsen economic conditions by hiking interest rates. As a result, we expect risk-aversion to return into the market, culminating in a selloff of risk assets like Bitcoin.
