Bitcoin hits downside target near 76K, bounce expected next
Bitcoin dropped to its expected low and is now bouncing, which is mildly good news short term but still points to a couple of quiet weeks ahead.
- Bitcoin fell to just above 76K, clearing out the sell pressure that had been building there, and is now holding as support.
- The short-term selling signal has reset, so a small bounce toward 80K looks likely over the next few days.
- Longer-term signals still look bullish, echoing the setup seen at the end of the 2022 crypto bear market.
- Ethereum keeps poking at resistance without breaking through yet, while Solana and Chainlink are cooling off after running too hot.
- Bitcoin's share of the market is slipping, which usually gives the bigger altcoins a bit of room to outperform.
Outlook: Expect a modest bounce over the next few days, then range-bound, choppy trading for one to two weeks before the larger uptrend can resume.
