Why Bitcoin Price Remains Stable Before the Expected Hike
The cryptocurrency rallied a few days back, but now, it has moved closer to 38.2% Fib level. Investors are enthusiastic that as it remains at this level for some time, and stabilize. The next move in Bitcoin price will take it to the 61.8% Fib level. This is when the hike in the price of the cryptocurrency will occur towards $4,200. However, after the surge in price, the upcoming weeks will see the Bitcoin falling swiftly to $3,000.
The truth is that if this move fails to occur, there may not be an improvement in the value of the digital currency. Also, this movement will enable the “bullish gartly pattern” we saw on the BTC/USD 4H chart to become a reality. Also, we are expecting that the Bitcoin price will decline the same way it has been recovering since early February.
Why this week’s closing price matters
Presently, Bitcoin price is still trading above what the intrinsic value is showing on larger time frames. However, we can see adequate room to accommodate short-term rallies. The price at which Bitcoin closes this week is very critical. It will be a clear indication as to how the digital currency will move in the coming weeks.
If Bitcoin closes at a price above $4,000, we are hopeful that the correction may come from early next week. On the other hand, any price of around $3,800 might delay the correction until two weeks ahead. Right now, it is very clear that BTC/USD is still not stable yet. Meanwhile, before investors of the digital currency can start investing aggressively again, the price has to be above $6,000. However, if the price falls below what it is currently, investors will turn bearish.
There may be disagreements as to whether the cryptocurrency has hit its lowest level. One thing is clear. Currently, there is a higher possibility that the price might decline more instead of rising. That said, we don’t believe that the time is ripe for shorting the digital currency yet. From what we saw on the BTCUSDShorts chart, the total margined shorts is still holding on strong.
Future outlook of Bitcoin
Investors are expecting BTCUSDShorts to move towards the trend line resistance very soon. If the rejection is strong as expected, then BTC/USD will recover faster in the short term. When this occurs, the Bitcoin price will surge above $4,000. Bear in mind that if BTCUSDShorts break supports at 17,347, there may be a swift decline of sell pressure. This reduction in sell orders may cause the price to hike towards $6000.
The long-term move for Bitcoin, we are not sure that BTCUSDShorts will break support, but there is still a possibility. One thing that may happen is that BTCUSDShorts will face rejection as it tests the trend line resistance. When this happens, the result may lead to a fall back to its support line and also restarts the process. Finally, investors might start selling off their Bitcoin in panic thereby leading to huge drop very soon.

Macroeconomic Concerns

Bitcoin’s price was gaining on Tuesday on the back of greenlight of some retail crypto trading by Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission announced on Monday that it would allow retail traders to trade certain crypto assets beginning June 1 on registered platforms. Markets widely anticipated the move amid Hong Kong’s broader efforts to become a global crypto hub.
Even so, Hong Kong’s new guidelines are in sharp contrast with China’s ban on crypto trading in 2021, as well as the continued US regulatory crackdown on cryptocurrencies since the fall of crypto exchange FTX. The Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC) has already licensed two digital asset platforms, Hash Blockchain and OSL.
Despite Hong Kong’s move to support crypto assets, concerns about the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy outlook have continued to weigh on markets…

Additionally, the congestion also saw transaction fees jump to their highest level in six years. Binance announced that it would work to enable the Bitcoin Lightning Network which will help in such situations in the future.
