Analyst Notes: Famous cryptocurrency trader MartyParty noted that Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index was “nearly oversold,” a favorable condition for a rebound.
He predicted a subsequent move to $65,000 and then a rangebound move until the US elections.
Instead, a well-known analyst with the pseudonym HORSE raised a bearish alarm.
“I am quite confident that Bitcoin will trade below $60,000 again,” the analyst predicted. “I know we’re still at a medium level, but consolidation and weakness for this long, without a tailwind and already declining demand, almost always ends up going down and then up again.”
