Bitcoin correction below $50,000 is ‘normal’ 

Bloomberg Intelligence (BI) pointed out that strength of Ethereum and launch of US crypto ETFs underpin the bullish trend.

Bitcoin correction below $50,000 is ‘normal’ for bull markets as it probes for support and flushes out excesses, but key underpinnings remain in place, a new report published by BI says.

The strength of Ethereum – the number two crypto – which is above its $2,000 threshold price and the imminent launch of US crypto ETFs point to continued growth in Bitcoin, BI says, with the market seeming to play out the old traders’ adage of ‘if it seems easy, something’s wrong’,

Recovery trend

Stabilisation, base-building and recovery around the $50,000 mark is what we expect from the benchmark crypto, which remains on track to becoming the global digital-reserve asset in a world heading that way,” said BI Commodity Strategist Mike McGlone.
No x, BI says.

The BI report, Bitcoin Bear-Market or Dip in the Uptrend, notes that Ethereum’s performance provides good technical guidance for Bitcoin as it represents investor interest in the rising tide for crypto assets, fintech, decentralised finance (DeFi) and exchanges (DExs).

Bitcoin may dig for support near its late-February level of around $43,000 and its 20-week moving average closer to $44,000, but BI believes the fluctuations are ‘normal noise’ within a broader bull market.

The possibility of risk

A key risk for investors would be the rejection of ETF applications by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, but that’s a fading possibility, the report adds.
