Bitcoin - Deleveraging to accelarate soon
Updated
Our short-term price target of 37 500 USD was reached just recently. Therefore, we would like to update our thoughts and change our medium-term price target of 35 000 USD to a short-term price target. Subsequently, we would set a new medium-term price target of 32 500 USD. We continue to maintain a bearish stance on the overall cryptocurrency market as we expect deleveraging to continue. Our view is supported by a combination of bearish technical and fundamental factors. We will pay close attention to the FED meeting and the upcoming rate hike during the current week. We expect hiking rates to have a negative impact on the price of Bitcoin.

Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI has been choppy lately; due to that, it can be regarded as neutral. MACD remains bearish and Stochastic. DM+ and DM- show bearish conditions in the market. ADX continues to increase, which suggests the bearish trend is gaining momentum. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish.

The chart above shows BTCUSD on the weekly graph. It also portrays volume bars at the bottom of the chart. It can be observed that selling pressure has been increasing over the past three weeks. In our opinion, this foreshadows a further move down for Bitcoin.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI, MACD, and Stochastic are bearish; the same applies to DM+ and DM-. ADX contains a relatively low value, which suggests the presence of a neutral trend (of a higher degree). Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish.
