❗ Bitcoin collapses for three reasons, bounce limited to 20,334
BTC/USD had never recovered from the issues at Silvergate, a lender to the crypto-sphere. That is one reason for the fall.
The second reason is the run on Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) which reverberated through broader markets and triggered a flight to safety – bonds instead of Bitcoin.
The third reason is the Federal Reserve's move to examine cryptocurrencies, part of a regulatory crackdown.
All that sent BTC/USD below support at 21,398 and diving through 20,334, which now words as support. The next cushion is only at 19,156. As BTC/USD is extremely oversold on the 4h-chart – RSI at around 5 – there is room for some bargain-seeking. Nevertheless, there is no fundamental upside driver, and I cannot see Bitcoin recovering above resistance at 20,334 today.
A strong NFP could send Bitcoin lower, and a weak one would boost it. But, the correlation between economic indicators and cryptocurrencies has been weakening in recent
