In brief
- Myriad’s prediction market indicates a 57% likelihood that Bitcoin reaches $100K before it hits $120K, a significant change from the previous day’s 60% bullish sentiment.
- Technical indicators for the short term suggest a bearish outlook, while longer-term signals show potential for a bounce due to oversold conditions.
- With 95% of investment on the prediction market betting against tomorrow’s $115K target, achieving that price appears very unlikely.
What’s next for Bitcoin? The consensus has shifted dramatically.
On Myriad, created by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, there has been a rapid shift in sentiment as Bitcoin prices continue to decline. Currently, there’s a 57% chance Bitcoin will drop to $100,000 before hitting $120,000, contrasting sharply with earlier predictions.
In volatile moments like this, significant shifts in prediction markets warrant cautious observation.
As Bitcoin trades below $108,000—having recently experienced a new all-time high over $125,000—it’s evident that we are facing a short-term bearish phase. The critical question is whether this constitutes a healthy 20% correction or reflects the onset of deeper issues.
Bitcoin (BTC) price: What the charts say
Technical indicators provide insights into Bitcoin’s current state. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sat at 37, indicating an oversold condition, although it’s not at panic levels. Currently, trader sentiment appears predominantly bearish, as corroborated by a Fear and Greed Index reading of 30, which indicates “fear.”
The Average Directional Index (ADX) checks trend strength, with a recent reading at 25.23 indicating a barely confirmed trend. However, moving to a four-hour view reveals troubling bearish signals.
The four-hour RSI dipped to 32.74 with an ADX soaring to 34.63, showing a strong trend. The shorter timeframe’s indicators, revealing a “death cross” and bearish Ichimoku cloud patterns, suggest worsening conditions for Bitcoin.
Gravity wins (most likely)
The cumulative data strongly favors the prospect of Bitcoin reaching $100K before $120K. The anticipated support around $106,000 must hold; if it fails, prices may gravitate toward $100,000 amidst potential algorithmic sell-offs triggered by psychological factors.
For the $115K target tomorrow, with 95% of traders predicting against it, expectations of a rapid recovery appear more aligned with hope than fact. Yet, the $120K goal isn’t entirely out of reach, contingent on a fundamental shift in momentum that is not currently in evidence.
Key levels to watch:
- Immediate support: $106,400
- Next Strong Support: $100,000
- Tomorrow’s resistance: $112,000
- Next Strong Resistance: $116,000
