While mere days ago analysts were calling for Bitcoin (BTC) to correct higher to $9,000 and potentially even higher, this bullish scenario has not panned out. On the contrary, in fact. Since the weekend, the leading cryptocurrency has returned to $8,000 and has even started to flirt with the $7,000s once again.<\/p>\n

This renewed selling pressure has reignited the fears that things are about to get ugly for this market once again \u2014 (as if the 45% correction from $14,000 wasn’t bad enough).<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Death Cross Looms<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Analyst Chonis recently noted<\/a> that Bitcoin’s 50-day and 200-day moving averages are currently preparing to see a “death cross” in the coming ten days.<\/p>\n

For those not versed in technical analysis, a “death cross” is when a short-term moving average, often the 50-day as it is indicative of short-term trends, crosses below a long-term moving average, often the 200-day. As Investopedia accurately defines the term,<\/a> “The death cross is a technical chart pattern indicating the potential for a major selloff.”<\/p>\n
