A crypto analyst is predicting a potential Bitcoin price drop. Justin Bennett, who boasts a large following on X (formerly Twitter), believes Bitcoin’s recent price action suggests a downturn is coming.
Bearish Signals Ahead?
Bennett points to several factors supporting his bearish outlook. He highlights a “bear flag” pattern on Bitcoin’s chart, a technical indicator often associated with upcoming price declines. He suggests a potential drop of over 7%, targeting a price range between $97,000 and $98,000. However, he notes that his prediction is invalidated if Bitcoin stays above $106,600-$106,800.
He also cites the failure of Bitcoin to break through a key resistance level as another bearish signal. This, combined with the broken April trendline, strengthens his bearish prediction.
The Stock Market’s Influence
Bennett acknowledges a significant wildcard: the US stock market. Historically, Bitcoin’s price has correlated with the stock market. A continued stock market rally could potentially mitigate the predicted Bitcoin downturn.
Whale Activity Points Downward
Adding to the bearish sentiment, Bennett references the Whale vs. Retail Delta (WRD) indicator. This indicator shows that large investors (“whales”) are increasing their short positions (bets against Bitcoin rising), which is a bearish sign. He interprets this as whales anticipating a price drop, further supporting his prediction.
