The Bitcoin (BTC) chart is hinting toward a massive price drop. The coin has already been struggling with an extended consolidation period, and this potential decline could make the situation worse. It is not a minor decrease; we are talking about a drop of almost 45% in the BTC price. This is a serious warning for the community, as it can have broader impacts on the market.
Ali Martinez, an experienced trader and on-chain analyst, shared his analysis of this potential price dip on X (formerly Twitter). He explained that history suggests that when the Bitcoin price is trading above its 200-day moving average, it rallies higher and witnesses strong returns.
However, Martinez warned that if BTC drops below this level, the market usually witnesses sharp price declines. Sharing the current scenario and analysis of the BTC price chart, Martinez highlighted that Bitcoin is currently trading below this crucial 200-day moving average of $64,000.
In fact, the leading coin on the market has remained below this level for more than a month now. Consequently, Martinez suggested that a massive Bitcoin price drop may be in the cards. He even predicted that this dip may take BTC to its realized price of $31,500. According to estimates, this will be a price decline of almost 45% from the current trading price of the coin.
Bitcoin market sentiment
As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $58,333, after a minor increase of 0.66% in the last 24 hours. The price is down 4.66% in the last 30 days, which truly reflects the sideways movements and the bearish sentiment on the market. The 24-hour trading volume of BTC is also down 19.3%, currently at $29.6 billion.
This shows a lack of interest and confidence among investors as they appear to be sitting on the sidelines. The decreasing trading activity is a troubling signal for BTC and the broader community. Bitcoin, along with other notable coins like Ethereum (ETH), have remained in an extended consolidation phase, and it may continue in the near future.
