Bitcoin Weekly - Edition 46

Bitcoin (BTC) had the first weekly death cross in its 14-year history last week as it closed below $22K falling close to $1,000 week over week. The question we now face is how Bitcoin will perform after seeing its first death cross which typically implies some significant downside risk. BTC had its lowest weekly close in three weeks after a nice January rise.

Valentine's Day this week also happens to mark the day in which fresh CPI (consumer price index) data will be released in the United States. There is other financial data due out this week that should see a fairly volatile market including risk assets like crypto. Throw in a rather worrisome regulatory environment in the US and plenty of pressure exists that could cause BTC to test the $20K market again soon. The next major resistance level appears to be around $21,500 which now sits within striking distance.

The bulls are pulling uphill this week unless the macroeconomic news is much better than expected. Analysts are split on what they expect to see and stock markets are treading water waiting to see what happens starting Tuesday. With a strong jobs report last month and December CPI data revised higher, a higher-than-expected CPI data print could be disastrous for the markets along with Bitcoin.

What is interesting is that with each of the last few CPI releases the markets have immediately sunk only to recover after investors have time to digest and fully consider the implications of the figures they are seeing. We also need to keep an eye on the dollar which fell on Monday after a strong week. The US dollar hit six-week highs against the Japanese yen which tends to signal investors think the Fed will continue to have a tight monetary policy for longer than previously thought.

Lots to digest this week, stay tuned!

The Crypto fear and greed index highlighted below, is at 48 and down8 points from last week and moving into the "neutral" category.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital cryptocurrency.  Bitcoin was invented by the person or persons under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto as described in the Bitcoin Whitepaper released on October 31, 2008.  The original cryptocurrency began trading in January of 2009 and could be transferred in a peer-to-peer fashion implemented using open-source software.  The transactions are recorded and stored on a public ledger called a blockchain.  Only 21 million Bitcoins will ever be minted with one million being owned by its creator(s).
