- Mark Thielen warned against dip buying and expects a further decline before a recovery
- Alex Krüger highlighted factors such as excessive leverage, negative Ethereum sentiment and altcoin speculation
In the midst of a crypto market downturn, the age-old mantra of “buying the dip” has resurfaced, tempting traders and investors with potential bargains. And yet says Markus Thielen, CEO of 10x Research, urges caution. In fact, he believes the timing may not really be right for such optimism.
Thielen commented the same about this:
“Buying this dip is still too early. Technically, we still expect Bitcoin to trade below 60,000 before a more meaningful rally attempt is initiated.”
He added:
“Based on the previous new high signals, we could paint a rosy picture of 83,000 and 102,000 upside targets, but for now we are more focused on managing the downsides.”
Thielen’s market insights
His analysis offers a cautious view on Bitcoin [BTC] and ether [ETH], advising against hasty dip purchasing strategies. Thielen’s approach uses analog and data-driven models, which expose the complexity of market evaluation. Furthermore, Thielen’s company, 10x Research, has gone out of its way to highlight the key factors underlying this bearish outlook.
For his part, the director expects a further decline in the market before there is any significant recovery in the charts. However, he does expect BTC to maintain a long-term bullish outlook and reach $100,000 over time.
Insights from Alex Krüger
Alex Kruger’The company’s analysis also sheds light on the multifaceted factors contributing to recent price volatility, providing a nuanced view of the current landscape.
He noticed,
“Reasons for the crash, in order of importance (for those who need them).
#1 Too much influence (financing is important)
#2 ETH drives the market south (the market decides the ETF is off)
#3 Negative BTC ETF Inflows (note, data is T+1)
#4 Solana shitcoin mania (it went too far)”
With excessive leverage, negative Ethereum sentiment, and speculative activity in altcoins all at play, the market is now at a critical juncture. As investors await the Fed’s decision, the crypto world remains tense, poised for potential turbulence and significant swings in the coming days.
