Analyst Warns Bitcoin Could Repeat 2018 and 2022 Capitulation Events if BTC Breaches Crucial Support

A widely followed analyst says Bitcoin may repeat an historical capitulation event if BTC fails to hold one key level.

The analyst pseudonymously known as Rekt Capital tells his 563,100 followers on X that if Bitcoin loses support at the 200-week exponential moving average (EMA) it may plummet in value similar to what occurred in 2018 and 2022.

“What would confirm additional downside for Bitcoin? Historically, a weekly close below the 200-week EMA (black) followed by a post-breakdown retest of the EMA into new resistance (red circles) has triggered additional bearish acceleration.

The 200-week EMA (black) represents the price point of ~$68,300. Therefore a weekly close below ~$68,300 followed by a bearish retest of it would likely position Bitcoin for a repeat of history with additional downside over time.”

The analyst notes that Bitcoin must convincingly breakout from the 200-week EMA resistance level to invalidate the likelihood of a collapse.

“Bitcoin has weekly closed above the 200-week EMA (black) for the second week in a row. This 200-week EMA is a key confirmation trigger for additional downside. So by Bitcoin weekly closing above it, it is staving off bearish confirmation.

However, this doesn’t mean Bitcoin is now in the clear. In fact, in the absence of any meaningful upside from here going forward, there is a risk that BTC loses the 200-week EMA in time. History suggests price won’t be able to produce much upside from this 200-week EMA before an eventual breakdown.”

Bitcoin is trading at $65,792 at time of writing, down 3.2% on the day.

Exploring Market Buzz: Unique Opportunities in Cryptocurrencies

In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, recent developments have sparked significant interest. A closer look at pricing forecasts for Cardano (ADA) and rumors surrounding a Solana (SOL) ETF, coupled with the emergence of a promising new entrant, Layer Brett, reveals a complex market dynamic. Cardano's Prospects: A Closer Look Cardano, a stalwart in the blockchain space, continues to hold its ground with its research-driven development strategy. The latest price predictions for ADA suggest potential gains, predicting a double or even quadruple increase in its valuation. Despite these optimistic forecasts, the allure of exponential gains drives traders toward more speculative ventures. The Buzz Around Solana ETF The potential introduction of a Solana ETF has the crypto community abuzz, potentially catapulting SOL prices to new heights. As investors await regulatory decisions, the impact of such an ETF on Solana's value could be substantial, potentially reaching up to $300. However, as with Cardano, the substantial market capitalization of Solana may temper its growth potential. Why Layer Brett is Gaining Traction Amidst established names, a new contender, Layer Brett, has started to capture the market's attention with its early presale stages. Offering a low entry price of just $0.0058 and promising over 700% in staking rewards, Layer Brett presents a tempting proposition for those looking to maximize returns. Comparative Analysis: ADA, SOL, and $LBRETT While both ADA and SOL offer stable investment choices with reliable growth, Layer Brett emerges as a high-risk, high-reward option that could potentially offer significantly higher returns due to its nascent market position and aggressive economic model. Initial presale pricing lets investors get in on the ground floor. Staking rewards currently exceed 690%, a persuasive incentive for early adopters. Backed by Ethereum's Layer 2 for enhanced transaction speed and reduced costs. A community-focused $1 million giveaway to further drive engagement and investor interest. Predicted by some analysts to offer up to 50x returns in coming years. Shifting Sands: Investor Movements As the crypto market landscape shifts, many investors, including those traditionally holding ADA and SOL, are beginning to diversify their portfolios by turning to high-potential opportunities like Layer Brett. The combination of strategic presale pricing and significant staking rewards is creating a momentum of its own. Act Fast: Time-Sensitive Opportunities As September progresses, opportunities to capitalize on these low entry points and high yield offerings from Layer Brett are likely to diminish. With increasing attention and funds being directed towards this new asset, the window to act is closing quickly. Invest in Layer Brett now to secure your position before the next price hike and staking rewards reduction.
