טריידערז שטימען פֿאַר וואַלאַטילאַטי פון ביטקאָין פּרייַז ווי DXY 2022 גיינז כּמעט 20%

ביטקאָין (בטק) volatility edged higher during Sept. 26 as the Wall Street open avoided significant losses.

Monthly close tipped to shake up BTC price

דאַטן פון קאָינטעלעגראַף מאַרקעץ פּראָ און TradingView showed BTC/USD circling $19,000 on the day, with hourly candles of 1.5%–2% not uncommon.

The pair was expected to break out of its narrow trading range in the short term, having consolidated since Sept. 22.

For Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, a tap of the area at the top of the range should signal acontinuation higher.

“Theory still stands for Bitcoin,” he דערציילט טוויטטער אנהענגערס אויף דעם טאָג.

“Crucial area at $18.6K holds for support, which we’ve been testing multiple times. Another test of the $19.4K–19.5K area (which we’ll be doing soon) is, most likely, giving a breakout to the upside. I’m targeting $20K and $22.5K.”

On-chain analytics resource Material Indicators agreed on volatility returning.

“BTC is trading in a tight range. Volatility will increase as the week progresses toward the Monthly Close, which coincides with Monthly and Quarterly Options expiry,” it געשריבן in a Twitter thread on the current state of the market.

“If bulls can manage a green M close above $20k, technical resistance is at the key MAs.”

Eyeing a longer-term range, meanwhile, fellow trader and analyst Josh Rager suggested that an optimistic scenario could see BTC/USD echo its growth from the first half of 2019.

“Uncertain if a bottom is in for Bitcoin but if $BTC price starts making its way back up to $24k+, I’ll certainly be paying attention,” he tweeted.

“Not saying that history will repeat but April ’19 took most people by surprise.”

Rager acknowledged that the macroeconomic environment this year was “different” from 2019.

Dollar strength sees best ever year

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index were down 0.35% and 0.65% on the day, respectively.

“The trend will stabilize & the RoC will normalize, but that doesn’t necessitate a decline in the $DXY.”
