Bitcoin (BTC) bulls have continued to lose grip heading into Wednesday. As of the time of writing this, BTC sits at $7,750, up by $300 from Tuesday’s $7,450 low. Despite this recovery, some analysts are still leaning bearish, expecting for cryptocurrencies across the board to continue to slump lower to begin a much-needed bout of consolidation.<\/p>\n

From Capitulation to Greed: Bitcoin Poised to Head Lower<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After weeks of nonstop upward price action, Bitcoin bulls have begun to relent. While there have been some optimists, claiming that BTC’s parabola remains intact<\/a>, bears have begun to dominate the feeds of Crypto Twitter and industry forums.<\/p>\n

In a recent tweet, legendary Bitcoin investor Trace Mayer noted that the Mayer Multiple, which is calculated by putting BTC’s current price over its 200-day simple moving average (currently $4,595), is showing that the market is still “slightly frothy”.<\/p>\n

More specifically, the multiple is reading a 1.82, the highest this indicator has been since early-2018, which was when BTC was trading well above $10,000. (It is important to note that according to Mayer’s simulations, accumulating when the multiple is under 2.4 produces the “best long-term results”.)<\/p>\n

With this in mind, the American investor, an anti-establishment figure that is an angel\/early-stage investor in Kraken and Armory, added that he expects for the multiple to undergo a “gentle retreat” to anywhere from 1.4 to 1.6, which would result in prices of anywhere from $6,500 to $7,500. From there, a Mayer would be healthy.<\/p>\n

A move to $7,000 from current levels would see BTC fall another 11%, cementing a short-term bearish reversal in the eyes of analysts.<\/p>\n

@TIPMayerMultple<\/a> is at slightly frothy 1.82 & 200DMA at $4,595; rising about $10\/day. Gentle retreat to 1.4-1.6 would be range around $6,500-7,500 for consolidation.<\/p>\n
