  • Bitcoin remains in a downtrend on the four-hour chart defined by a series of lower price highs since the April 14 all-time high of around $64,800.
  • There is strong resistance from the $60,000 level and around $56,000. The 100-period moving average on the four-hour chart has kept a lid on price movements since the April 17 sell-off.
  • The relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is around neutral territory after reaching overbought levels on Tuesday.
  • For now, it appears that buyers are still in profit-taking mode as BTC drifts toward lower support around $52,000. A decisive break above $56,000 is needed to resume the roughly 15% price recovery from the April 25 low.

K33 Research says market fear is outweighing fundamentals as bitcoin nears key levels. December could offer an entry point for bold investors.

What to know:

  • K33 Research says bitcoin’s steep correction shows signs of bottoming, with December potentially marking a turning point.
  • The firm has argued that the market is overreacting to long-term risks while ignoring near-term signals of strength, like low leverage and solid support levels.
  • With likely policy shifts ahead and cautious positioning in futures, K33 sees more upside potential than risk of another major collapse.
