Stock sell-off tanks Bitcoin price, but traders expect a bounce near $42K

Fear over the Evergrande situation weighed heavily on equities markets and Bitcoin price, leading traders to expect a bounce in the $42,000 to $38,000 zone.

The cryptocurrency market faced a fresh round of selling on Sept. 20 as global financial markets fell under pressure thanks to fears surrounding the potential default of Evergrande Group, a China-based real estate company whose collapse could send ripples across equities markets. 

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the early morning sell-off in Bitcoin (BTC) intensified into midday as the price dropped to a low of $42,493 before bulls managed to bid it back above $43,500.

With fear on the rise and uncertainty spreading across the market, here’s what analysts are saying about Monday’s price move and what to expect in the days ahead.

The bearish reversal provided a warning

Bitcoin’s price drop caught many in the crypto market off guard but according to analyst and pseudonymous Twitter user John Wick, the price action leading into Monday’s pullback formed a confirmed bearish reversal bar on the 4-hour chart, signaling that the move was an imminent possibility.

According to the trader, the drop follows the most recent developments regarding Evergrande which really started to gain attention last week at the time as the bearish reversal pattern for Bitcoin was forming.

It will likely take several weeks for the developments surrounding Evergrande to play out and ripple through the global financial markets, indicating that traders could be in for a period of increased volatility.

Traders expect a bounce between $42,000 and $44,000

Insight into the key levels to watch was provided by crypto analyst and pseudonymous Twitter user ‘CryptoCapo’, who posted the following chart highlighting the support zone between $42,000 $44,000 and a lower zone of support at $38,000.

CryptoCapo said:

“I bet for a bounce from the blue zone, but if it breaks and retests this zone, the green one will be in play. Both are good entry prices for what is to come in the next months ($100k+).”

The market now looks oversold

One final bit of analysis came from crypto trader and independent market analyst Scott Melker, who posted the following tweet showing that the drop in price has led to an oversold bullish divergence on the 4-hour chart.

As highlighted by Melker, BTC’s price action over the weekend gave a warning ahead of Monday’s pullback as it formed an overbought bearish divergence with its RSI declining.

Now that the market has flipped back to oversold, the analyst is on the lookout for another bullish divergence to form as a signal that it is safe to re-enter the market.

The overall cryptocurrency market cap now stands at $1.952 trillion and Bitcoin’s dominance rate is 42.5%.

Bitcoin breaking new highs in Q4 will ‘temporarily turn alts to dust’ — Analyst

Things will get exciting in quarter four, but not before a convincing floor is put in across crypto, analysts say this week. Bitcoin ( BTC ) was busy losing its overnight gains on Sept. 27 as resistance continued to prove too much for bulls.  BTC/USD 1-hour candle chart (Bitstamp). Source: TradingView Analyst on Bitcoin: “Right now, we’re stuck” Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView  showed BTC/USD dropping to around $1,000 below overnight highs of $44,400 on Bitstamp on Sept. 27.  The move constitutes a rejection at a “critical” zone to break, Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe explained, with $42,000 now the key level to hold for a higher low. Bitcoin is acting in an increasingly narrow range, he summarized in his latest YouTube update. “Right now, we’re stuck,” he said, pointing to $47,000 as next should the $44,600 zone be reclaimed.
