It’s been a brutal weekend for the crypto market which has witnessed severe liquidations following the U.S. inflation numbers released last Friday. As of press time, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading 6.57% down at a price of $25,673 hitting its 18-month low. On the weekly chart, Bitcoin has corrected more than 18%.
However, some technical indicators suggest that it might be the right time to add BTC, especially for the long-term holders. Bitcoin’s relative-strength-index (RSI) has touched the oversold territory for the first time since 2018, says crypto analyst Lark Davis.

Another interesting point that Davis points out is that the volume has been very less in today’s BTC price crash to $25,000. If the buyers step in, we can see a reversal from here anytime. Unfortunately, the buyer participation seems subdued as of now.

Just as the U.S. released its inflation numbers last Friday, Bitcoin critic and gold advocate – Peter Schiff – predicted a sharp fall in BTC. He advises investors not to buy the dips. Schiff napisao:
Ovo bi mogao biti težak vikend #crypto. Bitcoin izgleda da će se srušiti na 20 hiljada dolara i #Ethereum do $1K. Ako je tako, cjelokupna tržišna kapitalizacija od skoro 20 digitalnih tokena bi pala ispod 800 milijardi dolara, sa skoro 3 biliona dolara na svom vrhuncu. Ne kupujte ovaj dip. Izgubit ćete mnogo više novca.
What Shall Bitcoin Investors Do?
The crypto market is highly volatile and unpredictable at this stage. Furthermore, it has corrected faster than the U.S. equity market. With this hot inflation in the U.S, the Federal Reserve is likely to initiate quick actions with interest rate hikes.
But this also poses the risk of the U.S. slipping into a recession. In this case, we might see a further sell-off in the U.S. equity which might put selling pressure on crypto as well. Antoni Trenchev, co-founder and managing partner of crypto lender Nexo rekao:
“Cryptos remain at the mercy of the Fed and stuck in a merry dance with the Nasdaq and other risk assets. We’re hearing Bitcoin forecasts in the mid-teen and single-digit thousands which tells you the type of macro environment crypto is facing for the first time—and the levels of fear.”
But some analysts feel that this could be a good time to stack some more Sats, but with caution. Rick Bensignor, president of Bensignor Investment Strategies and a former strategist at Morgan Stanley said:
“Typically, I’d suggest being a buyer here. But if you do get long, perhaps think about doing so with either a long call spread or short put spread to limit risk. If this dives, there’s no reliable support nearby.”
