Bitcoin Price Begins Consolidation; Markets Cooling Down

2019-7-5 07:35

As the parties wind down in the US and the impending hangovers begin to fester, Bitcoin is taking a breather. In what appears to be the beginning of a consolidation phase, BTC has dropped around 8% on the day.

Bitcoin Price Falls Back To $11000

The epic 25% bounce back from the depths of $9,600 took Bitcoin price to $12000 briefly yesterday. For the duration of the fourth, it managed to consolidate around $11,800 but has fallen sharply a few hours ago. The latest dip has returned BTC back to $11k, and it is currently holding just above there at 00.

Daily volume has retreated back to $25 billion and BTC market capitalization has just dipped below $200 billion again. As Bitcoinist reported earlier this week, BTC may have found a new floor at around $10,000 but a drop below this could signal a deeper dip than the previous one, possibly somewhere back in the $8k region.

The CT traders seem to have taken the day off for the US holiday and things are pretty quiet in crypto land at the moment. Looking at next levels of support, the 50-day moving average is currently at $9,200 so this may serve as the next lower low if BTC heads south again.

On the four-hour chart, Bitcoin price has already dropped below the 50 MA and could head towards the 200 which is currently at $9,600. As in previous cycles, there was a lot of buying pressure at four figures but this may not be of the same magnitude if BTC drops below $10k again.

CNBC, which often serves as a counter trade signal, seems to be bullish on Bitcoin however with this rather festive tweet posted a few hours ago.

Altcoins Getting Battered Again

Total crypto market capitalization has dumped over $15 billion on the day but Bitcoin dominance remains over 65% according to Tradingview.com. Yet again the altcoins, which are already in bad shape, are getting battered.

Ethereum has dumped 5% to return to $285 and XRP has shed a similar amount falling back to $0.387. Litecoin is holding $120 at the moment but Bitcoin Cash and EOS are both down 4%. There is a lot of red on the altcoin markets during Asian trading this morning and only a handful of the very low cap ones are making any progress.

The weekend may see more consolidation from Bitcoin which appears to result in a dump in the altcoins. It might be time for the daddy of crypto to take a breather for a bit.

Will Bitcoin price make another lower low or remain here for a while? Add your thoughts below.
