Bitcoin price prediction: BTC and the crypto market are back in the red, clawing back last week’s accrued gains. In the last 24 hours, the largest cryptocurrency extended its down leg, dropping by more than 6% and testing support at $65,000.
Major altcoins like Ethereum (<a href="https://coingape.com/markets/eth-shib-and-core-price-prediction-as-april-correction-in-crypto-market/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>), Binance Coin (BNB), and Solana (SOL) gasping for air, down 6.5%, 5%, and 8% respectively. If immediate rebounds fail to occur on Tuesday, more losses will engulf the crypto market whose total cap has fallen by almost 6% to $2.6 trillion,&nbsp;<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/">CoinMarketCap</a>&nbsp;data shows.
Bitcoin boasts the largest cap of $1.29 trillion amidst a 6% drop in 24 hours. Intriguingly, a 74% increase in the trading volume to $45 billion suggests traders are more willing to short BTC than buy the dip, at least for now.

Blockchain data by Santiment points to a noticeable increase in positive crowd sentiment as&nbsp;<a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-prices-today-april-2-bitcoin-plunges-to-66k-ethereum-below-3400-sol-xrp-crash/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>&nbsp;plummets to test the $65,000 support. The crypto space is experiencing an influx “of words like buy, buying, bought, and bullish,” igniting prospects of an immediate rebound.
“Historically, the best dip buy opportunities occur when the crowd consensus is showing a bit of fear toward a further drop. This usually results in small wallets dropping their bags for whales and sharks to scoop them up,” researchers at Santiment said via a statement on X.
Based on the four-hour chart&nbsp;<a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-price-risks-slipping-63k-crucial-level-breaks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin price</a>&nbsp;has since the beginning of the year tended to make quick trend reversals following market dips. Hence, investors have been quick to jump on the dips using various dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategies to maximize returns and in the process trigger bouncebacks.

Related blockchain data from Glassnode revealed that long-term holders are concentrating on the distribution of their holdings by “selling to new investors at higher prices.”
This trend, to a large extent, highlights the injection of fresh capital into Bitcoin, which eventually tends to raise the realized cap to new levels. The new capital influx implies that investors have a long-term bullish outlook for BTC price.

Bitcoin continues to form a series of red four-hour candles below the $70,000 mark, adding credence to the short-term bearish outlook. On top of the sell signal flaunted by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, a notable decline can be expected if losses overshoot the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

A death cross pattern brought to light with the 50-day EMA (line in red) and the 20-day EMA (line in blue) reinforces the bearish grip. Bitcoin price also trades significantly below the previous day’s open and this is also a bearish signal.

However, if broken, investors can anticipate BTC to sweep through liquidity at $64,000, the grey marked zone — not forgetting $62,000 and $60,000 are also within reach.
An indexed Bitcoin price performance chart by Glassnode starting in April 2021 around the previous all-time high and according to the firm’s analysts is “where the bear market sentiment set in,” BTC has approached its peak, with similarities to previous circles in 2020 and 2018-21.
