Bitcoin Faces Challenges as Economic Events Loom

Bitcoin is struggling to keep its value steady at $88,000 while bracing for upcoming global economic developments. President Donald Trump’s upcoming national address followed by a dialogue with Waller concerning the Federal Reserve Chair position adds to the uncertainty. Notably, a prominent crypto analyst has maintained a bearish outlook, forecasting significant upheaval for altcoins if the predictions materialize.

What Concerns Are Affecting Bitcoin?

Several factors are contributing to the potential downtrend in Bitcoin. Among these, recent decisions by the Supreme Court, changes in classification of crypto reserve companies by MSCI, and possible interest rate adjustments in Japan are significant. Japan’s decision, expected this Friday, coincides with the U.S. inflation report, both of which are closely watched by market participants.

The general lack of risk appetite has led to Bitcoin surrendering its hold on the $88,000 mark. Roman Trading’s earlier prediction of a slight rebound from the bottom has come true, though the analyst still warns of a bearish target of $76,000.

“Bull waves have formed + volume was low during the drop. I predicted this rebound point perfectly. However, this is just a bounce; I don’t believe it will lead to anything significant.”

“In the near future, Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $76,000.”

How Might Bitcoin’s Value Shift?

Mark Cullen projects that short liquidity around $95,000 could soon be addressed. This may result in an upward move of roughly $8,000. However, a minor clearance at $83,000 might happen initially. Should these conditions materialize, the price could surge past $98,000.

Cullen’s technical analysis supports his forecasts, aligning with the recent price behavior of Bitcoin. According to him, despite recent sales driving BTC into a crucial Fibonacci zone, a recovery is plausible, though it might not prevent a retest of the November lows.

“With yesterday’s sales, BTC reached the Fib golden region of the upward movement. I want to see a rebound and a higher low from here, but as the pain continues, the lows at the end of November will likely be seen again.”

Key events coming up:

• U.S. inflation report release on Thursday.
• Japan’s interest rate decision announcement on Friday.

These economic developments suggest significant volatility, potentially confirming Mark’s predictions of Bitcoin hitting a short-term low. As these events unfold, the cryptocurrency market awaits new directions.
