BTC dips under $89,000 as sentiment scrapes yearly lows

The price of BTC fell below $90,000 again on Wednesday after failing to defend the key support level and has been trading well below its 365-day moving average, a critical support level, for the last six days.

Bitcoin’s 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) has also crossed below the 200-day EMA. This signal, known as the “death cross,” suggests further downside for BTC.

Some analysts now forecast a drop to $75,000, where the price could bottom out before rebounding by the end of 2025, while others speculate whether the cycle top is already in. 

“The time for Bitcoin to bounce, if the cycle is not over, would start within the next week,” market analyst Benjamin Cowen said on Sunday.

“If no bounce occurs within 1 week, probably another dump before a larger rally back to the 200-day simple moving average (SMA), which would then mark a macro lower high,” Cowen added.

The forecasts came amid cratering crypto investor sentiment. Investor sentiment measured by the “Crypto Fear & Greed Index” is at 16 at the time of this writing, indicating “extreme fear” among investors. 

This places crypto investor market sentiment at just one point above the yearly low, according to CoinMarketCap.
