New ‘death cross’ is coming for Bitcoin, will a bounce follow?

Even the end of the US shutdown can’t seem to lift the price of  Bitcoin. In fact, we’re even heading for another death cross on the charts. However, historical trends show that Bitcoin bounces strongly after each death cross. Will that be the case this time as well?

At the time of writing Bitcoin trades for $97,000.

Bounce

A death cross is a technical pattern that typically indicates bearish momentum. It occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average. Should we be worried?

Pension funds and institutional investors paying attention to such technical signals will receive a warning: Bitcoin is about to establish a “death cross” on the daily chart. This means they likely have a few days, according to their own rules, to decide whether to reduce their investment (which is most likely through Bitcoin ETF fund) or leave it alone.

Crypto investors and whales see this differently. They view these death crosses as lagging indicators and therefore historically hope for a bounce, which is what happened the previous three times this phenomenon was observed.

Analysts calculated that if Bitcoin follows the historical pattern, a drop to $90,000 would occur in the following week (at least before November 21st), followed by a rise of around 50% from the current price, meaning the new high would be $145,000.
