Bitcoin Risks Further Decline As Bearish Death Cross Returns

As a seasoned crypto analyst with over a decade of experience navigating the ever-evolving cryptocurrency market, I find myself cautiously optimistic about Bitcoin’s short-term future based on the latest bearish death cross and the conflicting bullish predictions.


As a dedicated researcher delving into the intricacies of the digital currency market, I’ve recently observed an ominous bearish death cross formation for Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency on the global stage. This technical pattern suggests that Bitcoin could experience more price downturns before potentially regaining momentum upward.

Bitcoin Prints Another Bearish Death Cross

On August 15th, in a post on the platform that was once Twitter, a cryptocurrency analyst known as ‘Mags’ offered insights into Bitcoin’s recent price fluctuations. Highlighting crucial trend formations and Bitcoin’s upcoming prospects, Mags provided a chart depicting Bitcoin’s price trends from October 2023 to August 2024. This chart showed that BTC had formed a bearish death cross on the daily chart, meaning that its 50-day moving average (50 MA) dipped below its 200-day moving average (200 MA).

As an analyst studying the Bitcoin market, I’ve observed a potential red flag – the formation of a death cross. This pattern usually indicates a short-term weakness in the market. In simpler terms, it suggests that the short-term moving average has crossed below the long-term one, which historically signals increased bearish momentum and a possible drop in price. It’s essential to keep a close eye on market trends and adjust investment strategies accordingly.

As Mags explains, Bitcoin has formed a second death cross since it hit a bottom price of $15,500. He points out that the first such bearish cross happened in September 2023, when Bitcoin was being traded at $25,000 – which is significantly lower than its current value, making up less than half of the present price.

Over the past few weeks following the bearish cross in 2023, I’ve observed Bitcoin trading sideways amid significant market fluctuations. However, the cryptocurrency managed to regain its footing and recover the moving averages, which subsequently led to a bullish cross occurring when the 50 MA surpassed the 200 MA. This shift sparked a robust upside rally in Bitcoin’s price.

Mag’s idea is that Bitcoin’s current trend mirrors the “death cross” pattern seen in past instances. He believes that Bitcoin may go through some volatile price fluctuations over the next few weeks. If Bitcoin manages to regain its moving averages, it could signal a bullish confirmation. Moreover, he foresees a potential strong upward trend, marked by a significant bullish crossing, for Bitcoin. The analyst is looking forward to this bullish cross.

Bullish Rise To $143,000?

In another post on the topic of cryptocurrencies, an analyst known as ‘Milkybull Crypto’ expressed a positive prediction about Bitcoin’s future price. This prediction was based on a chart showing Bitcoin’s price movements from 2022 to the end of 2024, which compared Bitcoin’s current market conditions with specific events that transpired in 2023.

As a researcher, I’ve been closely monitoring the predictions made by Milkybull Crypto regarding Bitcoin’s future price movements. Despite several analysts foreseeing a substantial drop to $10,000 in 2023, the market has surprisingly shown resilience, bucking these bearish forecasts with an unanticipated surge in positive momentum.

The crypto expert has shared insights suggesting a comparable market scenario at present, where many analysts anticipate a peak in the Bitcoin cycle. He predicts that by the last quarter of 2024, Bitcoin could surpass all expectations, climbing towards an astonishing $95,000, and then undergoing a significant jump to reach around $145,000.

Currently, according to recent updates, Bitcoin’s trading value is just under $59,000. As per CoinMarketCap, over the last seven days, Bitcoin has dropped by approximately 4.32%, causing its price to drop to around $58,484.
