Bitcoin’s Downward Trend: Focus on Future Support Level

Bitcoin’s recent downward trend has sparked concerns about its future support level. The release of the US non-farm payrolls report on August 6th revealed a lower-than-expected increase in non-farm payrolls, leading to a significant downward revision of the July job increase figure. As a result, fears of a US recession have resurfaced, putting pressure on risky assets like Bitcoin.

Market analysts are divided on the key support level for Bitcoin. Alex Kupchikevich, an analyst at FXPro, believes that the current important support level is $54,000, with the possibility of a temporary fall below $53,000 in the event of high volatility. CoinDesk, on the other hand, has analyzed that Bitcoin’s key support level is around $50,000.

Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX, has predicted that Bitcoin will fall below $50,000 this weekend. As of 11:14 am (New York time) on August 6th, Bitcoin was trading at $54,596, down 3.56% from the previous day. This downward trend has been ongoing since its all-time high of $73,750.07 on March 14th.

Bitcoin’s price fluctuations have been closely tied to the performance of the New York stock market. Immediately after the employment report was released, Bitcoin briefly rebounded to near $57,000, only to turn downward as the stock market fell again.
