The U.S. stock markets have commenced the day on a positive note prior to the holiday break. Historically, the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas often witnesses a strong stock market performance. Such favorable outcomes are crucial because the stock markets are substantially influencing cryptocurrencies amidst debates surrounding the AI bubble. Today marks an important decision-making day, and analysts have shared the key levels they are monitoring closely.
Crypto Decision Day
As this article is being prepared, U.S. stock markets have opened positively. Should this trend persist, cryptocurrencies might perform well during the holiday break on Thursday and Friday. On Friday, U.S. markets will operate for half a day. Analyst Jelle highlighted the significance of today, emphasizing that all eyes are on the $89,000 mark.
“Bitcoin is surging again as we approach the NY opening. It tends to trigger volatility — this week has shown a rising trend during U.S. hours so far. The last trading day before Thanksgiving weekend is crucial; if the bulls want to act, today is the day. Eyes are on $89,000.”
Therefore, we are bound to witness volatility today, and the positive start of the U.S. markets following Jelle’s remarks offers hope for cryptocurrencies.
Analyst Bitcoin Insights
We will dive into evaluations from two different analysts today. This approach provides valuable insights into viewing the market from diverse perspectives. According to TraderXO, based on historical data, Bitcoin has fallen below the 50-week moving average, and we might experience a deep dip towards the 200MA or even the 300-week MA. This expectation aligns with the base scenario of the bears during this phase, as seen with Roman Trading.
The attached chart underscores a consistent pattern since 2015: Bitcoin tends to regard the 200-week MA as a significant cycle support area. This accentuates the potential for downward movement.
“Historically, prices have only dipped below the 300-week MA once, and movements below the 200MA have been brief during major cycle lows. If we retreat to these levels and the broader market context aligns, I view this as a high-opportunity buying zone… assuming this time isn’t different?”
Should this scenario hold, BTC may even briefly dip below $50,000 — only time will tell.
TraderLeevis believes a robust close above $88,150 could bolster upward momentum once again. He mentioned the possibility of attempting aggressive long positions if a negative deviation towards $84,000 occurs. At the time of writing, BTC is at $87,268.
