After hitting $60,000 in the last 24 hours, a phase of profit booking has taken the Bitcoin trading cycle just below the mark, but crypto indicators look much better than earlier.
A minor correction has occurred in the crypto market after Bitcoin had surpassed the $60,000 trading level. As a result, the Bitcoin trading cycle has gone through a dip. Meanwhile, the technical crypto indicators all point to bullish market characteristics. Even the current decline could just be a temporary profit-booking event.
The increasing adoption of crypto by individuals and institutions worldwide has played a crucial role in the market’s resilience. Moreover, the entry of institutional investors, such as hedge funds and asset managers, has provided a much-needed boost to market stability and liquidity.
Besides, the current crypto indicators indicate a cycle where Bitcoin is attempting to consolidate above $60,000. It would need renewed strength from traders and investors at this juncture. At the same time, a further dip could take the level around $56,000 as BTC’s support, as in previous weeks.
The recent dip in BTC’s price a few weeks ago was analyzed by experts. According to a crypto analytics firm, short-term holders suffered the most from the dip, while long-term holders continued to lend support.
Analysts stated through the report, “Despite tumultuous and choppy price action, the conviction of Long-Term Holders remains steadfast and unfazed.”
