Bitcoin Traders Fear Risks: Could BTC Value Plunge Below $95K?

Intensifying Bearish Momentum and Weak Indicators: Closer Look into Potential Bitcoin Decline Below $95K

Key Points

  • Bitcoin’s Inter-Exchange Flow Pulse (IFP) has turned negative, indicating a potential bearish market turn.
  • Weak momentum and resistance levels suggest further downside risks for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s market dynamics appear to be taking a turn for the worse as the Inter-Exchange Flow Pulse (IFP), a key metric monitoring Bitcoin movements between spot and derivative exchanges, has flipped to negative.

This shift has historically signaled a decrease in risk appetite among traders, often leading to a downward trend in price action.

Understanding the IFP

The IFP measures the net flow of Bitcoin between spot and derivative exchanges, offering insight into market sentiment and positioning.

A negative shift implies that traders are closing positions, deleveraging, or preparing to sell, typically coinciding with periods of increased selling pressure and potential price declines in Bitcoin’s market cycle.

Negative IFP readings have historically aligned with market corrections or extended bearish phases. For instance, the metric turned negative in early 2018, aligning with Bitcoin’s descent from its cycle peak into a year-long bear market.

Recent data shows the IFP has once again turned negative, raising concerns about a potential repeat of previous bearish cycles. However, the impact’s severity varies — some negative IFP periods led to short-term corrections before Bitcoin resumed an uptrend, while others signaled prolonged downturns.

Current Market Conditions

Bitcoin is having a hard time gaining upward momentum, trading around $97,605 at the time of writing, with key technical indicators suggesting a cautious outlook.

The 50-day SMA at $98,815 was acting as immediate resistance, while the 200-day SMA at $80,002 remained a crucial long-term support level.

The RSI was at 46.88, hovering below the neutral 50 level, indicating weak buying pressure. Meanwhile, the MACD remained in negative territory, with the signal line below the MACD line, reinforcing bearish sentiment.

If Bitcoin fails to reclaim the 50-day SMA, a drop toward $95,000 or lower could be in play. On the upside, a breakout above $100,000 is needed to invalidate the current bearish bias and reignite bullish momentum.
