Daily time frame is turning slightly bearish, a warning
Updated
Bitcoin is down approximately 5% from its high of $24 258. At the moment, we are paying close attention to the price trading near the 20-day SMA. If the price breaks and holds below this moving average (acting as a support), it will bolster bearish odds and hint at a potential trend reversal. Simultaneously, to support a thesis about the reversal, we would like to see the volume continue to grow and accompany the price drop. In addition to that, we will also seek clues in the stock market, which stays highly correlated with risk assets like cryptocurrencies. Therefore, we will watch Jerome Powell’s speech and expect him to reiterate a firm stance of the FED toward raising interest rates. As a result, this might spook a market that remains overly optimistic about the economic outlook in 2023. Over time, we expect the reality of bad earnings and more tightening to sink, leading to declines across the board for stocks and cryptocurrencies. With that said, our price targets for BTCUSD stay at $15 000 and $13 000.

Technical analysis
Daily time frame = Slightly bearish
Weekly time frame = Neutral/Slightly bullish
