Bears are in control: More downside to 57k expected

47
Price Action:

The price is currently around $58,527, with a significant bearish candle showing strong downward momentum.
The price has clearly broken below the 50 EMA, indicating a bearish trend. The next key support area to watch would be around the previous lows near $57,000, where there may be some buying interest.
MACD:

The MACD is deeply in the negative, with a widening gap between the MACD line and the signal line, which is a strong indication of bearish momentum. The histogram also supports this, showing increasing bearish pressure.
Volume:

The volume spike on the recent bearish candle indicates that sellers are in control. This confirms the bearish breakout and suggests that the downward momentum might continue unless significant buying interest emerges.

RSI:

The RSI is around 46, indicating that there is still room for further downside before the market becomes oversold. It’s not yet in the oversold territory, so the bearish momentum could persist.

2. Liquidation Heatmap:

Visible Liquidity:

Significant liquidity levels around $59,000 and $60,000, where the price has recently moved through, likely triggering liquidations. However, below the current price (around $58,500), there is some liquidity but not as much as above, suggesting that the market might slow down its descent as it approaches these lower levels.

Immediate Liquidity Concerns:
The lack of strong liquidity below $58,000 could mean that the price might find some temporary support around this area, but if selling pressure continues, the next significant level might be around $57,000 or lower.

Conclusion:
Bearish Outlook Continues: Both the technical indicators and the liquidation heatmap suggest that the bearish momentum is still strong. The break below the 50 EMA and the strong bearish MACD signal imply that the downside could continue. However, be cautious as the RSI is approaching levels where a short-term bounce might occur.

Next Steps:

If you’re holding a short position, it might be wise to stay in the trade but be prepared to take profits or tighten your stop-loss as the price approaches the next support levels around $57,000 or lower.

If considering a new trade, it might be better to wait for a potential bounce or consolidation before entering, as the market could either continue to drop or attempt a short-term reversal.
Overall, the charts suggest that the bears are in control, and the market could see further downside, but it's important to monitor key levels closely.
