Bitcoin proponents enjoyed the event right away, but frustrating pricing behavior meant that the area identified as the main resistance / support flip seemed fragile.
“If Bitcoin loses this level at 37 Kish, I think it will start to fall sharply towards the lower end of the region around $ 34- $ 35,” said Cointelegraph contributor Michaelëlvan de Poppe. Said One night.
Van de Poppe added that the stronger US dollar could be the key to understanding the future of the crypto market as a whole. The US Dollar Index (DXY), where cryptography is traditionally inversely correlated, has recently been significantly lost.
“It really depends on DXY for what we’re trying to see in the crypto market,” he says. Said Twitter followers.
“If the DXY is reversing towards a downtrend in the coming weeks, it should be a big accelerator for Bitcoin’s uptrend.”
