Bitcoin has seen another massive drop and recovery, which is commonplace during parabolic moves higher.<\/p>\n
One analyst explained that he is now watching for the entire market to see continued weakness, noting that high funding rates on margin trading platforms indicate that a wave of selling pressure could be imminent.<\/p>\n
That being said, from a technical standpoint Bitcoin appears to be building strength, as its recovery from the overnight drop below $30,000 is beginning to pick up steam.<\/p>\n
Where the market trends next should provide some serious insight into the aggregated market\u2019s mid-term outlook.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading down just under 5% at its current price of $31,600. This is where it has been trading throughout the past few days but does mark a decline from its recent highs of nearly $35,000.<\/p>\n
Where the market trends in the near-term will undoubtedly depend on whether or not bulls can confirm that the lower-$30,000 region is a strong support zone.<\/p>\n
A continued bout of trading above here following the dip below this level would be a promising sign.<\/p>\n
One on-chain analyst explained in a recent tweet that he believes Bitcoin is still in a dangerous position following the overnight decline because funding rates are still incredibly high.<\/p>\n
He notes that although BTC could continue higher in the short-term, it may not be as strong as it looks.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI’ll patiently wait for the moment the funding rate cools down. BTC could go up more, but it’s too dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
