Why did the market trend suddenly reverse?

In an official document released on Wednesday local time, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has rejected Wilshire Phoenix's application to launch a Bitcoin ETF in NYSE Arca. The SEC states that Wilshire has yet to prove that the Bitcoin market is sufficiently resistant to market manipulation. To date, the SEC has rejected all Bitcoin ETF proposals submitted by multiple companies.

Bloomberg commented on the SEC's decision, saying that it shattered the hope of digital currency enthusiasts that a Bitcoin ETF will be approved this year. The article states that the SEC has long urged issuers to address a variety of risks and concerns related to cryptocurrency funds, including market manipulation, liquidity and custody issues. This has obviously become a direct incentive for short-term Bitcoin diving.

The delay in Telegram and the SEC ’s ruling on whether the Gram sale is illegal has also delayed the Cryptocurrency world. Although the original ruling deadline was February 19, the magistrate did not announce the result. However, the SEC stated in its statement that the way Telegram sells products to qualified investors does not meet the Reg D standard, which is the key to the company's previous denial of sales violations. Therefore, the poor progress of the incident has caused significant pressure on the market in the past few trading days, and has also laid the groundwork for this short-term accelerated decline.

In addition, on Monday, Boerse Stuttgart, Germany's second largest stock exchange, officially launched a reverse bitcoin ETP called 21Shares Short Bitcoin ETP, allowing traders on this exchange to short bitcoin, as the exchange is the ninth in Europe. On the big stock exchange, the turnover in the exchange in 2019 is as high as 68.5 billion euros, so the launch of this new bitcoin short product will undoubtedly provide a very large “potential selling” for the bitcoin market. After the launch of the product, Bitcoin did very "tacitly" walk out of the recent round of rapid callbacks. The negative impact caused by this news cannot be ignored.

In addition, as the analysis of the previous article by Onion, in the context of global public health security issues causing panic outbreaks in the market, gold and U.S. Treasuries have been popular in the market, but were once regarded as emerging hedges. Bitcoin in assets has been left out of the market. In this special environment, Bitcoin has not stepped out of the so-called safe-haven market, which has caused a certain degree of gap in investor psychology, and the image of a "safe-haven asset" previously shaped has almost been damaged. With the recent negative correlation between gold and bitcoin, and the fact that gold has continuously refreshed the highest point in the past seven years, it is not surprising that bitcoin's steadily decline.

How do analysts look at the market outlook?

Market analyst Filb Filb pointed out that although the market has experienced a very large drop in the short term, it has actually come to an area with dense technical support. The 200-day moving average, 20-week moving average, and 50-week moving average are at 8500-8700. There is a dense overlap in the region, so the rising trend laid out by the rapid rise since the beginning of this year has not actually been reversed. If the market can complete the stop-stabilization near the support of the above several major moving averages, then the current price can be around Think of it as an ideal multiple entry opportunity with a "risk-reward ratio".

Market analyst Michaëlvan de Poppe pointed out that the current pullback is actually just a regular technical pullback after the big rally at the beginning of the year. Considering that Bitcoin has achieved an amazing increase of nearly 50% in the first two months of this year, the recent pullback It should not be interpreted excessively as a trend reversal. After Bitcoin has broken the 9100 integer support, the market has gradually become a new small-level descending channel. If the market cannot complete the rapid recovery of the previous key support of 9400 in a short period of time, then the bottom is strong The support needs to look directly down to 7460 where the mid-term trend line support is located. However, this trend line support does not break the upward momentum that has been maintained since the beginning of the year.

Market analysts have simplified the currency market and pointed out that the key line-level support of 8680 has been broken in a wave of second-time diving in early trading today. At present, the "air defense alarm" over the bitcoin market has completely sounded. This position serves as a strong semi-quantile support for the pullback of this round of rising market prices since the beginning of this year. If the market is broken by more than 4 hours of confirmation during the test of this wave, then the step of further opening down the space will actually be Just stepped out, after the support was confirmed to break, the market may quickly fall to around 7650, and the rise of the previous two months will be ended. Only by sticking to the 8680 line in the past two trading days can the bulls have the hope of quickly picking up the rally. Therefore, Bitcoin has now reached a "fortune in the fortune" that may determine the future weeks and months.
