Crypto Crisis Incoming: Bollinger Bands Predict Bitcoin Price Drop!

The post Crypto Crisis Incoming: Bollinger Bands Predict Bitcoin Price Drop! appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Renowned trading expert and the inventor of Bollinger Bands, John Bollinger, is once again in the spotlight as his Bitcoin price prediction from over two months ago appears to be coming true. With Bitcoin stuck around $59,000 and showing signs of a possible drop, could we be on the verge of a major market move? Here’s what Bollinger’s bands signal now.

Bitcoin Performance Analysis

Over two months ago, Bollinger analyzed Bitcoin’s chart using his technical indicator and suggested that Bitcoin’s price might continue to rise. At that time, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $60,940.

Now, more than two months later, Bitcoin is trading around $59,480, slightly below the price when Bollinger made his prediction. Over this period, Bitcoin has largely traded sideways, showing no clear trend despite notable price swings. 

Throughout these months, Bitcoin has experienced both substantial declines and gains, with some weeks witnessing price increases exceeding 10%. Despite these fluctuations, the cryptocurrency’s price has remained relatively stable, indicating a lack of strong directional movement in the market.

What Are the Bollinger Bands Telling Us?

According to the Bollinger Bands, a popular technical analysis tool that helps predict price movements by indicating overbought and oversold conditions, Bitcoin is currently positioned closer to the lower band. The upper band is just above $64,000, while the lower band is around $56,290. 

Bitcoin’s current trading position below the middle line suggests a potential for further price decline, as it is more inclined to move towards the lower band than the upper.

Key Indicators to Watch

As the end of the month approaches, all eyes are on the upcoming closure of the weekly, monthly, and quarterly candlesticks, which will occur simultaneously on Sunday, September 1. This critical moment could serve as a major indicator of Bitcoin’s future direction.

Whether Bitcoin closes above or below the middle line of the Bollinger Bands on this day could determine whether the cryptocurrency is set for a rebound or further decline in the coming weeks.

What Next for Bitcoin Price?

However, if Bitcoin manages to hold above this line, it could suggest that the cryptocurrency is poised for a rebound, aligning with the upper band target of $64,000. This scenario could provide a more optimistic outlook for investors hoping for a price increase.
