Bitcoin could be done with a fakeout rally

Yesterday, Bitcoin dropped below an important support at $26,800. Currently, it trades slightly above this level. As a result, we will pay attention to Bitcoin’s ability to stay above $26,800; if it fails, it will be negative. Besides that, we will also watch RSI, Stochastic, and MACD on a daily time frame, all of which started to flatten recently and now point to the downside; furthermore, MACD is approaching the midpoint. Overall, technicals are turning increasingly bearish again, suggesting that the recent rally might have been only a fakeout after all.

Comment:

The number of Bitcoin addresses with balances of 1,000 BTC or more began to trend down in the past three days, which is particularly bearish.
