🚀 Bitcoin Price Drop Activates Key Indicator Amid Fed Rate Cuts

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin's (BTC) price experienced a significant decline following the Federal Reserve's recent decision on interest rates. On Wednesday, the Fed reduced the benchmark borrowing cost as anticipated but indicated only two rate cuts for 2025, a decrease from the four cuts projected in September. The central bank also emphasized its disinterest in participating in any potential government initiative to establish a strategic BTC reserve.

Since the announcement, Bitcoin's value has fallen over 8%, reaching lows near $96,000. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading around $97,500, marking a nearly 10% decrease from the record high of $108,266 achieved earlier this week, as per CoinDesk data. This decline has resulted in the 50-hour simple moving average (SMA) dropping below the 200-hour SMA, confirming a bearish crossover. This pattern suggests the current pullback could deepen, although it has not consistently followed this trend during the recent bull market.

Bitcoin has encountered several pullbacks during its rally from $70,000 to over $100,000 post-U.S. election, with each dip concluding with a bearish crossover of the 50- and 200-hour SMAs. The latest crossover provides some optimism for bulls anticipating a return to six-figure values above $100,000. However, any potential rebound might face resistance near $10,600, a level identified by the descending trendline that reflects the recent price decline. Breaching this resistance could pave the way for new record highs.

It is crucial to note that market patterns do not always unfold as expected, and the contrary indicator mentioned may not hold, potentially leading to a more significant drop. The first indication of potential trouble would be if prices fall below the overnight low of $96,000, which could expose the swing low of approximately $91,000 recorded on December 5.

🚀 Bitcoin Faces Bearish Outlook Amid Nasdaq Decline

According to Foresight News, as reported by CoinDesk, Bitcoin's (BTC) technical outlook has worsened due to the Nasdaq index forming a 'double top' pattern. On Monday, the Nasdaq fell by 2.2%, breaking a critical support level, which has reinforced a short-term bearish expectation for BTC. Over the past 24 hours, BTC has dropped more than 10%, erasing Sunday's gains and testing the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) support level at $82,587.

Analysts suggest that BTC's long-term trend is closely correlated with the Nasdaq. If the Nasdaq continues to decline, BTC may face further downside risks. Should BTC fall below the 200-day moving average, the next support level is anticipated to be at $73,757.

🚀 Bitcoin Predicted to Reach New High in Mid-2025

According to BlockBeats, cryptocurrency analyst Titan of Crypto has expressed a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, forecasting that the digital currency could soar to a new all-time high of $137,000 between July and August 2025.

The analyst highlighted the formation of a bullish flag pattern on Bitcoin's daily chart, suggesting the potential for the price to break out to higher levels. However, for long-term investments, Bitcoin needs to break and sustain above its 200-day exponential moving average. If Bitcoin can stabilize above each moving average on higher time frame charts, this could further strengthen the bullish expectations, providing an opportunity to retest its six-figure target.

🚀 Bitcoin's Weekly MACD Histogram Signals Renewed Bullish Momentum

According to BlockBeats, Coindesk analyst Omkar Godbole has noted that Bitcoin's weekly MACD histogram has crossed the zero line, indicating a resurgence in bullish momentum. This bullish signal coincides with Bitcoin's rebound from the 50-week simple moving average (SMA), mirroring similar movements observed in mid-2024 and early 2023, which were followed by significant price increases.

The analyst highlighted that over the past five years, the MACD has entered the positive zone five times, with only one false signal occurring in March 2022, which led to a misjudgment of the market direction by bullish traders.

🚀 Bitcoin's Bull Market Indicators Suggest Potential for Further Growth

According to Odaily, analysis by Lookonchain indicates that four major technical indicators suggest Bitcoin has not yet reached the peak of the current bull market. The rainbow chart forecasts that Bitcoin's price could surpass $200,000 during this cycle. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 71.35, indicating room for further growth compared to historical peaks. The 200-week moving average heatmap is in the blue zone, suggesting the price has not yet peaked. Additionally, the two-year moving average multiplier shows the current price is between the red and green lines, signaling that the top has not been reached.

🚀 Bitcoin Faces Crucial Test at 50-Day Moving Average

According to Odaily, CoinDesk analyst and Chartered Market Technician Omkar Godbole has noted that Bitcoin's price has returned to the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), which has twice provided support and driven price rebounds this month. This latest test of the SMA offers bulls an opportunity to establish a trend, potentially using the 50-day average as a springboard for a new rally. Conversely, if the support at the 50-day SMA fails, it could trigger stronger selling pressure, leading to a drop below the $100,000 mark.

Market analysis suggests that bearish forces are currently dominant. The strength of recent rebounds from the 50-day SMA has been diminishing. On June 5, Bitcoin rebounded over $10,000 from $100,500 after testing the SMA for the first time. However, during the second test on June 17, the rebound was only from $103,000 to $109,000. A doji candlestick pattern formed over the past week also indicates waning bullish momentum above $100,000.

To revive short-term bullish prospects, Bitcoin needs to break through the key resistance level at $110,000 with increased trading volume.

🚀 Analysts Warn of Prolonged Summer Market Slump

According to BlockBeats, recent market adjustments have prompted warnings from analysts about a continued summer slump. FxPro's Chief Market Analyst, Alex Kuptsikevich, noted in a Thursday report that support at previous peak levels indicates a temporary market pause for profit-taking. However, the downturn is discouraging the most active traders, who are now focusing on smaller projects.

Bitcoin is nearing its 50-day moving average again, with frequent tests of this mid-term trend signal suggesting that the leading cryptocurrency is experiencing accumulated fatigue.

🚀 Key Support Levels Identified in Cryptocurrency Market Analysis

According to BlockBeats, CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr has identified significant support levels in the cryptocurrency market. The recent strong support zone is located between $100,000 and $107,000, where the short-term holder realized price intersects with the 200-day simple moving average.

Below this range, another support level is found between $92,000 and $93,000, representing a deeper support reflecting the cost basis of short-term investors holding for three to six months. If the market falls below the $100,000 to $107,000 range, this deeper support level will become a critical second line of defense.

🚀 Binance to Update Funding Rate Formula and Mark Price Calculations

According to the announcement from Binance, the platform will implement changes to its funding rate formula and mark price calculations, effective from 2025-09-18 08:01 (UTC). These updates are part of Binance's ongoing efforts to enhance user experience by refining its product and service offerings.

**Funding Rate Formula Update**

The funding rate formula will undergo a modification. Previously, the formula was defined as Funding Rate (F) = Average Premium Index (P) + clamp (interest rate - Premium Index (P), 0.05%, -0.05%). Post-update, the formula will be Funding Rate (F) = [Average Premium Index (P) + clamp (interest rate - Premium Index (P), 0.05%, -0.05%)] / (8/N), where N represents the funding rate settlement frequency. For instance, the PUMPUSDT funding rate, settled every 4 hours, will now be calculated as Funding Rate (F) = [Average Premium Index (P) + clamp (interest rate - Premium Index (P), 0.05%, -0.05%)] / 2.

**Mark Price Calculation Adjustment**

Binance Futures will also adjust the mark price calculations for USDⓈ-M and COIN-M perpetual contracts. The basis of Price 2 will shift from a 1-minute to a 30-second basis. The new formula will be Mark Price = Median (Price 1, Price 2, Contract Price), where Price 2 = Price Index + Moving Average (30 Seconds Basis). This adjustment aims to provide more accurate pricing by calculating the moving average over 30 data points every 30 seconds. Similarly, for USDⓈ-M and COIN-M delivery contracts, the moving average will be recalculated every 30 seconds, enhancing the precision of the mark price. These changes reflect Binance's commitment to maintaining a robust and efficient trading environment for its users.

🚀 Bitcoin's Potential Rally as It Retests Bullish 'Golden Cross'

According to PANews, cryptocurrency market analyst Mister Crypto has indicated that Bitcoin is currently retesting the 'golden cross,' a historically bullish technical pattern. The golden cross is a positive trading signal where a short-term moving average, typically the 50-day moving average, crosses above a long-term moving average, usually the 200-day moving average. This pattern suggests a shift from a bearish to a bullish market, indicating that prices may begin to rise. Bitcoin is currently hovering around $110,000, and maintaining this level could trigger another upward movement.

🚀 Bitcoin Faces Uncertain Future as Year-End Approaches Amid Market Volatility

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin (BTC) is poised to close the year 2025 in the red unless it can achieve a 6.24% increase above its yearly opening price of approximately $93,374. This marks a significant moment for Bitcoin, as it would be the first post-halving year to end negatively if the cryptocurrency fails to recover in the remaining days of the year. Nic Puckrin highlighted the urgency, noting that Bitcoin has only three days to reverse its fortunes and close the year positively.

Bitcoin reached an all-time high of over $125,000 in October, but a subsequent market crash severely impacted its rally, causing a widespread decline in cryptocurrency prices. Since then, Bitcoin's price has dropped by about 30%, hitting a local bottom around $80,000 in November. This downturn has sparked debates among analysts regarding the potential end of Bitcoin's bull rally and the onset of a new bear market. The uncertainty surrounding Bitcoin's future is compounded by differing opinions among market analysts, who are divided on whether a recovery is imminent or if the decline will persist into 2026. They often cite macroeconomic factors and liquidity conditions as key drivers of Bitcoin's price movements.

The focus is now on the U.S. Federal Reserve and its interest rate policies, which play a crucial role in shaping market dynamics. Bitcoin has been trading below its 365-day moving average since November, breaking the structural uptrend that began in 2023. Lower interest rates generally serve as positive catalysts for risk-on assets like cryptocurrencies, which tend to rally with fresh liquidity injections. In 2025, the Federal Reserve implemented three 25 basis point interest rate cuts, yet Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell provided mixed guidance at the December Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Powell's remarks have cast doubt on the likelihood of another interest rate cut at the upcoming FOMC meeting in January, with only 18.8% of investors anticipating such a move, according to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group’s FedWatch tool.

🚀 Bitcoin Futures Liquidation Dominance Oscillator Shows High Long Position Liquidations

Bitcoin futures liquidation dominance oscillator indicates that long position liquidations reached 97% yesterday. According to Odaily, the 30-day moving average has risen to 31.4%, suggesting that nearly all forced liquidations in the market are from long positions, with buyers facing systemic pressure over the past month. Despite price declines and consecutive liquidations, the perpetual contract funding rate for Bitcoin remains positive, with an annualized rate of 43.2% yesterday. Although this figure is below the peak of over 100% seen from October to November, it still demonstrates a strong demand for long positions in the market. The maintenance of a positive funding rate amid large-scale liquidations increases the risk of further deleveraging, indicating that long positions are recovering quickly or have not been fully liquidated. Currently, the funding rate has not shifted to a neutral or negative zone, reflecting that the derivatives market has not completed a thorough liquidation.

🚀 Bitcoin Remains Below Key Moving Average for Third Consecutive Week

Bitcoin has closed below its 100-week moving average for the third consecutive week, according to Coin Bureau CEO Nic. According to BlockBeats, the cryptocurrency has remained under its long-term trend line for 13 days.

Historically, after Bitcoin falls below this trend line, it tends to stay there for an average of 267 days. The shortest duration recorded was 34 days during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based on historical patterns, the market is more likely to remain at lower levels for an extended period. While a quick rebound is still possible, the longer Bitcoin stays at these lower levels, the less likely a rapid recovery becomes.

🚀 Bitcoin's Death Cross Signals Potential Price Decline

Bitcoin's daily chart has recently formed a death cross, where the 50-day moving average has fallen below the 200-day average. According to NS3.AI, this technical pattern often indicates potential further price declines. Historically, similar death crosses have preceded significant drops in Bitcoin's price, such as a 50% fall in 2022. Analysts suggest that Bitcoin might bottom out between $30,000 and $45,000, potentially implying up to a 30% further decline from current levels.
