Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) is due to give a definitive signal that a macro bottom is in this month, one analyst has concluded.<\/p>\n In a Twitter thread on July 6, popular commentator Wolf eyed key moving average data as proof that BTC price action will not be going lower.<\/p>\n Amid repeated calls for BTC\/USD to revisit levels not seen since Q4 2020, one simple historical trend is now saying that the pair has already seen its latest macro lows.<\/p>\n Analyzing the 3-day chart, Wolf argued that the 100-day moving average (MA) crossing the 200MA will act as a price floor signal \u2014 just like in previous bear markets.<\/p>\n \u201cNegative 3d MA100 will cross positive 3d MA200 by half July, that would confirm that bottom is in,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n Specifically, the crossover of the two MAs is due on or by July 15 \u2014 in just a week\u2019s time \u2014 after which future trajectory should be confirmed. Should Bitcoin avoid major downside in the meantime, $17,600 will thus remain as the latest long-term BTC price bottom.<\/p>\n Negative 3d MA100 will cross positive 3d MA200 by half July, that would confirm that bottom is in. pic.twitter.com\/WgPMUkWIoy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Wolf (@IamCryptoWolf) July 7, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Despite historical precedent, such an outcome is nonetheless far from certain. Prior to the July 15 deadline, crypto markets will have to weather an ongoing macro economic storm<\/a>, which has so far proved deadly for risk assets across the board.<\/p>\n July 13 will be of particular interest to market participants, this date marking the release of Consumer Price Index (CPI) data from the United States for the month of June. <\/p>\n As Cointelegraph reported<\/a>, inflation is already at 40-year highs, and CPI readouts have shown a consistent uptrend throughout 2022.<\/p>\n The faster inflation is shown to be accelerating, the more likely a reaction from the Federal Reserve, with monetary tightening having a direct negative impact on risk asset performance.<\/p>\n BTC\/USD meanwhile circled $20,500 at the time of writing on July 7, approaching weekly highs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Related:\u00a0World’s first short Bitcoin ETF sees exposure explode 300% in days<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In a thread of his own on July 6, analyst Keith Alan flagged various other daily, weekly and monthly MAs as zones of interest should Bitcoin manage to sustain upwards momentum.<\/p>\n “Continued rejections at the 21 DMA would indicate there isn’t enough bullish sentiment to push higher, which brings downside targets into focus,” he explained.<\/p>\n He noted, however, that should a resistance\/support flip (R\/S) occur, the 50-month MA would come into play, followed by the essential 200-week MA which has formed a key focus<\/a> in prior bear markets.<\/p>\n 1\/8 Yesterday #Bitcoin<\/a> retested the 21-Day Moving Average.
