Last week, it looked like our price momentum indicator was on the brink of passing into bullish territory. Looking at our speedometers, the opposite happened: We’re back in the deeper negative. Not surprisingly this puts us solidly in Bitcoin Season territory (market type speedometer): Higher beta Altcoins are less desirable in a negative momentum environment.
The price momentum of Bitcoin has taken a significant hit due to the FUD created by movements in the U.S. government's BTC holdings. Additionally, the transfers from Mt. Gox, which moved just over 47,000 BTC as part of their refund programming, compounded the situation. Nevertheless, these recent movements have not triggered the fear among investors that was seen in previous weeks, as it appears the creditors have not sold off significantly. In the short term, we interpret this loss of price momentum as a delay in Bitcoin's price push toward the $70k zone and beyond.
A significant development here is that fundamentals moved to bullish. The market is slow to follow them, but they show ecosystem health and underline the lack of sustainability we see in the current bearish price action that we will explore below.
