Undermining the bullish divergence visible in the 4-hour RSI line, the breakdown rally could find support at the $54,552 support level or the $51,348. The 4-hour chart also reveals the 50-day and 200-day EMA in a bearish alignment post-death cross trend downwards.
In case of a bullish reversal, the uptrend will find dynamic resistances at $59,661 and $60,722, respectively. The Bitcoin price action levels at $61,451 and $64,596 are secondary targets.
Will Investors Continue to Hold Bitcoin?
According to a recent update by Ali Martinez, trading activity has plummeted, with capital flows for major assets like Bitcoin falling below those of stablecoins. This significant decline suggests a cautious market, where investors are opting for the relative safety of stablecoins.
This shift in investor behavior often indicates market uncertainty, prompting investors to seek refuge in stablecoins as a defensive strategy. It may also be a sign that investors are positioning themselves for potential future buying opportunities, waiting for a more favorable market environment to re-enter the market.
However, despite the recent decline in market enthusiasm, a notable trend has emerged among long-term Bitcoin holders. According to data from Santiment, the number of Bitcoin addresses holding at least 100 BTC has increased by 283 wallets in just one month, reaching a 17-month high of 16,120 wallets.
This suggests that some investors remain committed to holding onto their Bitcoin, potentially indicating a strong conviction in the asset’s long-term value.
