Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen has predicted that while the overall trend remains bearish for Bitcoin BTC/USD, brief moments of bullishness may still occur.
What Happened: In a YouTube video, Cowen discussed the recent death cross formation in the Bitcoin market. "Typical death cross rally has materialized," he said on Twitter.
The formation of a death cross in Bitcoin’s market occurs when the 50-day moving average, a short-term trend indicator, crosses below the 200-day moving average, a long-term trend indicator. Traders and technical analysts often view this pattern as a bearish signal. It suggests a potential shift in the overall trend of Bitcoin’s price, signaling the possibility of further downward movement or a prolonged period of price decline.
Despite the bearish signal, Cowen believes that Bitcoin may experience intermittent rallies.

Why It Matters: Cowen outlined three potential scenarios that could unfold following the recent “death cross rally.” The first scenario suggests Bitcoin might consolidate around the current level of approximately $26,700 before declining further, potentially dropping below $24,500.
The second scenario envisions Bitcoin rising to the 50-day moving average, a level seen during a previous rally above $27,500. Cowen approximated this range to be around $27,600 to $27,700 before a subsequent decline.
According to Cowen, the third and more optimistic scenario involves Bitcoin surging back to a position just below the recent breakdown point of around $29,200, following which it would eventually fade back down.
“All three of those scenarios, I think, are possibilities,” Cowen emphasized.
In a separate tweet on Tuesday, Cowen added, "While BTC likes to rally when the death cross hits, remember that the rally typically leads to lower highs."
