Cryptocurrency markets are extremely unpredictable and volatile, making forecasting difficult. This was proven in April when two crypto analysts made inaccurate predictions about Bitcoin’s (BTC) price. Notoriously bearish crypto analyst @CryptoCapo believed the monthly candlestick for April would fall to $12,000 area. While this didn’t turn out to be the case, the Bitcoin price failed to break through the long-term resistance level of $31,000 and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also pointed towards indecisiveness in the trend. Similarly, well-known crypto analyst @TheMoonCarl tweeted a trading chart that suggested the potential of a $40,000 price target, yet this price wasn’t achieved. Instead, Bitcoin created a lower high before moving down towards its possible support area of $23,250. Analyzing the cryptocurrency market is not easy, yet critical indicators such as the RSI can be useful in an overall technical analysis, allowing traders to speculate with more certainty. While the April predictions surrounding Bitcoin may not have come to fruition, this didn’t stop cryptocurrency traders from speculating with potential near-term price movements before what might be a long-term Bull Run.
