Bitcoin Slumps by 10% in August – TradingView News Reveals Market Predictions for September

Bitcoin’s value has declined by 7% in the last month, and market analysts are suggesting there may be continued downtrends through September.

Recent Trends: Notable cryptocurrency trader Jelle has observed a roughly 10% decrease in Bitcoin’s price this August, continuing a pattern seen in the past couple of years. He forecasts a potentially challenging September, where Bitcoin could face an additional 5% loss in value.

Approaching mid-August, #Bitcoin exhibits a near 10% downturn — consistent with the trend from recent years.

September often brings further challenges, with average losses around ±5%.

Contrastingly, Q4 generally promises significant gains seasonally.

In another update, Jelle mentioned that Bitcoin has overturned a technical signal, resonating with the “sell in May” sentiment. He predicts, “The mean has almost reverted back, the slower season is nearly past us. Anticipate an upward move, and soon.”

A trader known as Scalping Pro noted that on the daily chart, Bitcoin demonstrated a ‘bearish cross’ with its 50-day moving average dipping below its 200-day one, pointing to near-term softness. A similar cross occurred only once before, in September 2023, when Bitcoin’s price hovered around the $25,000 mark. The price experienced sideways movement for weeks before a ‘bullish cross,’ which preceded a hefty upturn. He stated, “Should history repeat itself, we might witness some flat price action (PA) for a couple of weeks. A strong indication of bullish momentum would be the MA’s being overtaken again, followed by an emphatic bullish cross.”
