BTCUSD Forecast: #Bitcoin Continues to Drift Lower as Interest Rates Stay High (9 May 2024)

  • Bitcoin has drifted a little bit lower during the early hours on Wednesday, as we continue to see interest rates in the United States cause issues for crypto in general.
  • Keep in mind, things have changed. Bitcoin is no longer trading like crypto because it’s also held by a lot of people on Wall Street. They are concerned about interest rates. So, if interest rates stay higher for longer, it’s very likely the Bitcoin will struggle.

Breaking below the $60,000 level would be negative, but if we were to break down below the latest swing low, then I think Bitcoin has a real shot at dropping all the way down to the $52,000 level. This would bring the 200-day EMA into focus as potential support. If you give that up, then the trend is over.

While I am not calling for that right now, I’m just laying out the possible scenarios. If we turn around and break above the $66,000 level, then I think it’s likely that we will go look into the $73,000 level above, which of course is an area where we’ve seen a lot of resistance previously. This area would obviously attract a lot of attention, and therefore volatility as well. A break above it could open up a move to the $80,000 level fairly quickly.

Are We Forming a Base?

In general, this is a market that I think is in the midst of trying to form some type of base, and therefore you would expect a lot of volatility. 60,000 does matter. And at this point in time, I think you will continue to look at that as a magnet for action in the market. It is worth stating that we are still in an uptrend, but the recent swing high was lower than the one before it. So, beware of how this market can move, as it is historically volatile, and the last thing you want is to be on the wrong side of a Bitcoin move, as they can be quite brutal.

Precious Metals: Retreating From Resistance After #Bullish Move (7 May 2024)

  • Gold and Silver are holding up relatively well despite the generally strong bearish reversals we have recently seen in commodity markets.
  • Silver is outperforming Gold, so traders should be more confident of being long of Silver than of Gold.
  • Neither precious metal looks like an immediate buy. It will probably be wise to wait for Silver to clear $27.50 or for Gold to clear $2330 before entering any new long trades.
  • Stock markets are generally rising again, which is probably good news for further rises in Gold and Silver.

Gold (XAU/USD): Technical Analysis

The price chart below shows that Gold is still established within a long-term bullish trend despite retreating from its record high made just a few weeks ago. Bulls still need caution as the price is not trading in blue sky and is prone to hitting resistance and swinging lower.

A few hours ago, the price made what seems to be a significant bearish reversal at the resistance level just below $2330. The price is currently sitting on the nearest support level at $2315 and looks quite likely to fall to $2308.

Silver is more bullish, but a long trade here in Gold could be a good idea if we get a bullish bounce at $2315, $2308, or even $2290. In the current technical circumstances where the price is not making any bullish breakouts, trading from bounces at support, even after a deep retracement, will likely be the best approach.

Silver (XAG/USD): Technical Analysis

The price chart below shows that Silver is still established within a long-term bullish trend despite retreating from its multi-year high made just a few weeks ago. Bulls still need caution as the price is not trading in blue sky and is prone to hitting resistance and swinging lower.

A few hours ago, the price made what seems to be a significant bearish reversal at the resistance level just below $27.50 which is a major quarter-number. The price is currently sitting on the nearest support level at $27.18 and looks quite likely to reject it, giving a possible long trade entry now.

A long trade here in Silver could be a good idea if we get a bullish bounce at $27.18, $27.00, or even $26.84. In the current technical circumstances where the price is not making any bullish breakouts, trading from bounces at support, even after a deep retracement, will likely be the best approach.

I see Silver as a better potential buy than Gold right now, but more conservative traders might prefer to wait for a bullish breakout above $27.50 instead of buying on the dip after a bounce at a key support level.

Bitcoin Forex Signal: Bitcoin Forms a Bullish Pennant Pattern (6 May 2024)

Bullish view

  • Buy the BTC/USD pair and set a take-profit at 66,000.
  • Add a stop-loss at 62,000.
  • Timeline: 1-2 days.

Bearish view

  • Set a sell-stop at 63,000 and a take-profit at 60,000.
  • Add a stop-loss at 66,000.

Bitcoin price staged a strong recovery in the past few days as a sense of calm returned to the market. The BTC/USD pair surged to over 64,000, which was much higher than this month’s low of 56,540.

A sense of calm returns

Bitcoin and other risk assets like global stocks have rebounded in the past few days as bad news became good news for the market. The Dow Jones index rose to over $38,800 while the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 soared to $17,900 and $5,130, respectively.

Meanwhile, the US dollar index (DXY) tumbled to a monthly low of $104.51 while bond yields slumped. The 10-year yield dropped to 4.50% while the 30-year and the 5-year fell to 4.66% and 4.48%, respectively.

This performance happened after the US published weak economic numbers last week, signaling that the Fed may deliver more rate cuts than expected. The first report came from the Conference Board, which revealed that consumer confidence dipped to its lowest point since 2022.

Further data by the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) revealed that the manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMI numbers retreated in April. That is a sign that the economy was slowing.

And finally, the most-anticipated jobs report revealed that the economy added fewer jobs than expected while the unemployment rate rose to 3.9%. The economy added 175k jobs, down from 315k in March. The average hourly earnings fell to 3.9%, missing the estimated 4.0%.

The implication of all this is that the Fed will start to cut interest rates in the coming months. Analysts see the bank delivering two cuts later this year. This is in line with the Fed’s meeting, in which the officials noted that they would be data-dependent.

BTC/USD forecast

The BTC/USD pair has been in a strong recovery in the past few days as some Bitcoin ETFs added some inflows. On the 4H chart, the 25-period and 50-period moving averages have formed a bullish crossover.

Bitcoin has also formed a bullish pennant pattern, which is a positive sign. The MACD indicator has moved above the neutral level while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching the overbought point.

Therefore, the pair will likely continue rising as buyers target the key resistance at 66,000. The alternative scenario is where it drops to the intersection of the 25 and 50-period moving averages at 62,000.
