Bitcoin is declining again. How deep it will plunge, let’s try to forecast. Last week bitcoin showed a good rise. Starting the week lower $7,000 it surged to $8,500 on Sunday.
The unsteady rise of bitcoin last week was caused by several reasons. First of all, such famous families as Soros, Rockefeller, and Rothschild plan to invest in bitcoin. Secondly, news on the legalization of bitcoin in the Muslim countries opened the market for a big number of investors. However, even those events could not support the cryptocurrency and on Monday bitcoin has fallen below $8,000.
Why cannot bitcoin gain a foothold?
The fall of the digital currency between the end of March - the beginning of April can be related to the tax season in the US. According to the estimation of Tom Lee (a co-founder and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisor), American traders have to pay about $25 billion taxes for cryptocurrency operations. That is why a lot of traders sold their bitcoin assets to lower taxes. Tom Lee predicts that the cryptocurrency will reach the bottom after April 17 the last day of the filling of return.
Let’s look at the chart. The first support lies at $7,700. If bitcoin breaks it, the 200-hours Moving Average will be the next level of the support at $7,550.

Last week the speech of the Fed's Chair Jerome Powell led to big swings in the market. The USD jumped, while EURUSD and GBPUSD revisited lows. Gold and US500 also got under pressure.
The gold has made a perfect retest, but will it hold against the rising dollar? Also, the Jackson Hole Symposium and Jerome Powell's speech may become critical for most assets, and finally, more economic releases and earnings reports await you.
Although the last week was intense, this one may be more dynamic and volatile. After the FOMC meeting and controversial decisions from the Bank of England, we saw a historical pound decrease, and the gold plunge. And there’s even more for you.
After the US CPI last week came out above the forecast, traders started expecting a 75-basis point rate hike…
