Crypto Bloodbath Continues: How Low Can Altcoins and Bitcoin Crash?

The post Crypto Bloodbath Continues: How Low Can Altcoins and Bitcoin Crash? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Crypto traders with the necessary information had made smart decisions to exit the market before August and September bears took over. With the crypto market expected to rise again soon, the crucial question of how far the prices fall continues to linger in most traders. 

Moreover, Bitcoin price has not flashed any bullish signal in several time frames. As a result, Bitcoin’s fear and greed index has dropped below 25 percent, denoting extreme fear of further capitulation.

Major Crypto Targets to Watch Ahead

Bitcoin (BTC)

The sustained low demand for Bitcoin among institutional investors, as observed in the notable cash outflows from spot BTC ETFs in the past two weeks, has weighed heavily on the midterm bullish sentiment. 

From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin price is currently retesting the lower border of a falling correction channel that began in March. If Bitcoin price closes this week below $54, and consistently teases below this support level next, there is a high chance of further correction towards the support rate between $46k and $50k.

Ethereum (ETH)

I might be taking a trade that looks scary on $eth soon.

I am not scared, because I will just use risk management. If we break down this level, I will be looking for $1,500. #Ethereum https://t.co/zTV7GyvClQ pic.twitter.com/FyaHkGyyos

Ethereum price has suffered a bearish sentiment in the past five months but has escalated since several spots were approved for Ether ETFs in the United States. The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $277 billion and a daily average traded volume of around $27 billion, could dip further if Bitcoin price fails to regain bullish sentiment in the near term.

From a technical standpoint, ETH price against the US dollar is currently retesting a crucial support level, which could yield a rebound soon. However, a consistent close below the rising trend established year to date will lead to further weakness in the near term.

Altseason’s Timeline

Although Bitcoin dominance has risen for the past two years, rising crypto cash rotation favoring altcoins signals the onset of the much-anticipated altseason ahead.

However, with the positive correlation between altcoins and Bitcoin, there is a high chance that most Alta will continue to bleed with Bitcoin if the bearish sentiment rises.
