Data from TradingView shows that Bitcoin price fell to $ 42,000 for the first time since December.
While not the bullish breakout that many expected, the move is anticipated nonetheless. Essentially, Bitcoin “fills in” the void that remained after falling rapidly to $ 41,800 early last month.
These lows were the result of a mass liquidation. While long positions have lost money during this time, many remain skeptical that a return to $ 42,000 will be enough to create a bottom.
“It’s really surprising that we don’t see many daily sales these days when a lot of longs have already been built. An upward movement is still possible. All I know for sure is that this party is just getting started, ”wrote analyst William Clemente in a series of articles. tweets about this action.

Clemente is among those who predicted more volatile conditions this month and notes that much of the Open Interest (OI) of Bitcoin futures remains. Open interest hit an all-time high over the week.
According to analyst TechDev, the Fibonacci levels suggest that Bitcoin is at least still trying to copy the patterns from the previous halving cycle.
“Compared to previous cycles, the price action / indicator and volume behavior suggest that 2021 is indeed a year of consolidation (similar to 2019-Q3 / 2020) and this will likely result in further market momentum ahead of the next big correction. ”

For the average retail investor, however, there seems to be little hope left – at least for the day.
The fear and greed index halved to 15/100 as prices traded lower – deep in the “extreme fear” zone and at their lowest level since last July.
At that point, BTC was trading at a maximum of $ 33,000.
