Bitcoin\u2019s price stabilized on November 18 as investors cautiously bought the dip while awaiting two major catalysts: the release of the Federal Reserve\u2019s FOMC minutes and Nvidia\u2019s earnings report. After sliding to its lowest level since April, the market is showing signs that BTC may be close to bottoming out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier in the week, Bitcoin touched a low of $88,790<\/strong> before recovering to around $93,700<\/strong>. Even with the bounce, BTC remains deep in a corrective phase down roughly 26% from its yearly high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the biggest market drivers now is fear. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, compiled by CoinMarketCap, has plunged to 15<\/strong> an extreme fear level not seen since April. This metric aggregates multiple factors such as Bitcoin\u2019s price momentum, overall market volatility, derivatives activity, and how BTC is performing relative to the broader crypto market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not just crypto sentiment showing distress. The CNN Money Fear and Greed Index has also dropped to 12<\/strong>, with all sub-indices including market volatility, safe-haven demand, and junk-bond appetite sitting firmly in the extreme fear zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Historically, Bitcoin tends to begin major rallies when fear is at its peak. Last year, when market sentiment fell to 26, BTC rallied from $54,000 to a new all-time high. More recently, when the crypto index dipped to 19, Bitcoin climbed to $79,000 before surging to nearly $109,000. Conversely, many bear markets begin when greed is at its highest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technical indicators suggest that a rebound may be near. Bitcoin\u2019s Relative Strength Index (RSI)<\/strong> has dropped into oversold territory around 30, while the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO)<\/strong> has hit its lowest point of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BTC has also touched the double-bottom target of $92,000<\/strong> and is currently forming a hammer candlestick<\/strong> a pattern that often signals a bullish reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If momentum shifts, analysts believe Bitcoin could reclaim the psychological $100,000<\/strong> level in the short term. However, if BTC falls below this week\u2019s low of $88,790<\/strong>, the bullish scenario would be invalidated and further downside could follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With fear dominating sentiment and technical indicators flashing potential reversal signals, traders are now watching closely to see whether Bitcoin is gearing up for its next rebound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bitcoin\u2019s price stabilized on November 18 as investors cautiously bought the dip while awaiting two major catalysts: the release of the Federal Reserve\u2019s FOMC minutes and Nvidia\u2019s earnings report.
