Bitcoin price metrics hint at a potential rebound as the market recovers from a $6.3 billion Binance hack and a tech-stock sell-off. Despite dropping to $76,320, Bitcoin (BTC) traded above $77,000 on Friday, with liquidations reaching $1.5 billion in the past 24 hours.
Key Points:
- Bitcoin showed resilience, holding above $76,000, following the Binance hack.
- The hack, valued at $6.3 billion, and tech-stock losses, marked by Intel's premarket decline of 26%, contributed to market jitters.
- BTC's relative strength index (RSI) printed a bullish divergence on four-hour timeframes, indicating potential mean reversion.
- Liquidations, totaling $1.56 billion, primarily involved long positions, according to CoinGlass data.
- Binance characterized the attack as "complex," acknowledging multiple security breaches.
Technical Analysis:
On lower timeframes, BTC price returned to levels last seen in June when it hit multiyear lows near $57,000. The Bollinger Bands and RSI indicators suggest a potential price rebound. The 20-day SMA currently stands at $81,324.
