Analyst Notes
According to crypto analyst Michael Van de Poppe, the total market capitalization for #Crypto is currently testing the resistance level of the 200-week EMA.
"I think it’s just a matter of time until we flip above it. Probably 1-2 weeks if Ethereum ETF Futures could be approved and Uptober begins," he said.
Crypto Tony predicts a macro outlook for the Bitcoin market. According to his roadmap, he anticipates a drop in Bitcoin’s price to $20,000, which he believes will mark the bottom for altcoins. The rest of his analysis relies on resistance levels and historical patterns from previous cycles and bull markets.
Pseudonymous analyst Rekt Capital said Historically, the month of October has proven to be very favorable for Bitcoin. However, in the context of the similarities between the current year (2023) and 2019, it is surprising that there has been relatively little attention given to the potential for a price reaction akin to what was observed in October 2019.
The analyst believes that in October 2019, the price of BTC only rallied by 10%. If Bitcoin were to experience a similar 10% rally in October 2023, it would bring the price back to around $29,200.
"In such a scenario, BTC could form a long upside wick beyond the Lower High resistance (yellow) before potentially rejecting once again to confirm this current move as a relief rally."
