There is the endless argument about whether Bitcoin is a safe-haven asset like Gold. This could be true most of the time; however, Wall Street and the global markets are facing a difficult situation resulting in a fatal drop of almost 8% over the past four days, surrounding the coronavirus effects.
And Bitcoin, this time, correlates accurately with the global markets. The primary cryptocurrency continues its drop from yesterday, and completes over a $1000 loss of value in the past three days. This comes following yesterday’s bloodbath, which saw another 3% plunge in Wall Street’s major indexes.
Bitcoin had reached our yesterday’s mentioned target at $9000, and as of writing these lines, struggling to maintain the crucial support level.
Weekly Overview
Following the odd price action, let’s have a look at the bigger timeframe, which is the weekly chart shown below.
As we can see, Bitcoin is nearing the significant support of the 21-EMA line (exponential moving average, marked by the light blue line), which lies approximately at $8800. The latter price level is also the significant 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the Bullish move from the past two months (since 2020 begun).
The $8800 also contains the 200-days moving average line (marked by the light green line on the daily chart).
In case Bitcoin breaks down the $8800 support zone, then the next possible target could be $8400 – $8500. Further down lies $8000, which is the 61.8% Fib retracement level.
Total Market Cap: $255 billion
Bitcoin Market Cap: $165 billion
BTC Dominance Index: 64.5% (BTC Dominance continues to surge. Funds are moving from the altcoins into cash)
