Over recent weeks, overall sentiment in the crypto market has seemingly begun to express signs of turning optimistic. A number of polls conducted on Twitter indicated that investors, by and large, thought that a Bitcoin (BTC) bottom was in. Cryptocurrency commentators began to tout the merits of a bull rally<\/a> in these depressed conditions. And bullish price predictions<\/a> trended on Crypto Twitter.<\/p>\n But, one analyst, who has yet to get fully inebriated on the improving market conditions, recently reminded his 100,000 plus followers that it would be wise to stay sober. Here’s why.<\/p>\n The Crypto Dog, as the analyst is best known, noted that this space is entering that “awkward place” where market optimism is trending higher, as BTC creeps up-and-up. But, he notes that despite the positive conditions, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remain at a key resistance level \u2014 BTC is seemingly trapped under the 800-pound gorillas that are the $4,200 and $4,000 in this case \u2014 with no “guarantees of breaking [them].”<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheCryptoDog\/status\/31728640<\/p>\n The self-proclaimed STEM dropout adds that every time BTC entered this market state in 2018, “we broke down,” likely touching on the moves the leading cryptocurrency made under $10,000, $6,000, among other key levels that only exacerbated the bear market when broken.<\/p>\n Funny enough, he was initially correct in making his call. Hours after he issued the tweet, BTC fell dramatically, seeing a $100 candle to the downside. While this was a sort of an ‘aha moment’, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have returned to the levels they were prior to the brief downturn, and continue to test the key support levels. As of the time of writing, it is unclear whether the assets will burst through.<\/p>\n In spite of Crypto Dog’s wary comment, this recent quip comes just days after he took to Twitter to lay out his rationale why BTC bears should “shut up.” For those not keeping an eye on the analyst’s feed, the following is a list of factors accentuating that by many measures, this space is doing better than ever.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nRelated Reading: Bitcoin (BTC) and Crypto Market Sentiment is Finally Beginning to Shift as Bears Lose Steam<\/a><\/h6>\n
