Sink or swim at $27K? 5 things to know in Bitcoin this week
Bitcoin bulls and bears battle for control of a key area on the BTC chart, with network fundamentals due new all-time highs.
Bitcoin (BTC) is fighting for the bull trend as the new week begins with the market acting within a crucial zone.
After closing the weekly candle at just below $27,000, BTC/USD is attempting to cement support as a stubborn trading zone holds.
The stakes are already high — last week saw a flash dip below $26,000 and two-month lows for Bitcoin, making traders fearful of a larger bearish breakdown to come.
While this has not materialized, nerves remain on both shorter and longer timeframes.
Where is price action likely headed next? A relatively cool week of macro triggers means less chance of volatility from external sources.
Add to that the upcoming difficulty adjustment taking it to yet another all-time high, and the case could well be made for upside continuation.
Cointelegraph takes a look at some of the major BTC price factors affecting the week ahead.
Bitcoin price weekly close offers mixed signals
After clinching a weekly close at around $27,930, Bitcoin is already headed higher, reaching $27,550 overnight, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows.
While encouraging, the close nonetheless marked Bitcoin’s weakest since mid-March - something popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital is keenly aware of.
In part of Twitter analysis on the day, he warned that $27,600 was now the level to flip to support.
“First, BTC failed to reclaim the $28800 level on the Weekly (orange). And then $BTC Weekly Closed below $27600, failing to hold it as support (black),” he summarized alongside a chart showing recent weekly-timeframe events.
“Turn $27600 into resistance and this could enable further downside into the low $20000s.”

Continuing, however, Rekt Capital now sounded more upbeat about Bitcoin overall, looking beyond the current correction and its potential target.
“Bitcoin has already broken its Downtrend. Now it's all about continuing the new Uptrend,” another tweet reasoned.
“Whether a retest is needed or not is the question. But history suggests the mid-term to long-term outlook looks bullish.”
On weekly timeframes, the key trend line looming large thus remains the 200-week moving average (WMA), which at $26,200 has already received its first retest.

“Situation is very dynamic at this time,” he added.
Litecoin leads Bitcoin, altcoin "continuation"
Others gave more credence to the strength of short-timeframe rebound action into the new week.
Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, described BTC/USD as “ready for continuation.”
“Holding crucial level at $27K and we'll be ready for a potential run towards the highs,” part of a Twitter update stated, adding that Litecoin (LTC) was giving a taste of what might be to come.
LTC/USD traded up over 8% in the 24 hours to the time of writing, hitting its highest since May 6.

“Opinion remains unchanged. Just a breather before things go really crazy,” commentary on a chart of the total crypto market cap read.
“To the bears: I'll say it once and never again. You cannot compare a monthly chart with a daily chart.”

For him, even the weekly close was cause for optimism.

Flood of Fed speakers culminates with Chair Powell
Those seeking some macroeconomic risk asset price triggers may be left out this week, as events in the United States are set for calm.
After a ream of macro data prints the week prior, the event of the coming days is set to come in the form of a speech by Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve, on May 19.
As financial commentary resource, The Kobeissi Letter, notes, a total of 14 Fed officials are due to deliver commentary in the coming days, with plenty of potential conflicts in store.
You can't make this up, here the Fed members speaking this week:
— The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) May 14, 2023
1. Bostic - Monday
2. Kashkari - Monday
3. Barkin - Monday
4. Cook - Monday
5. Mester - Tuesday
6. Bostic - Tuesday
7. Barr - Tuesday
8. Logan - Tuesday
9. Jefferson - Thursday
10. Barr - Thursday
11. Logan -…
Kobeissi added that volatility “should start to return to markets” as a result.
A separate point of interest meanwhile comes in the form of U.S. dollar strength. In a market update on May 12, trading firm QCP Capital eyed a return to downside for the U.S. dollar index (DXY) as the key event needed for risk assets to get the green light.
“We see USD strength as the main reason capping BTC, which has led to the market's reflexivity blaming known bearish factors such as the large upcoming supply from the US government and Mt. Gox,” it stated.
DXY saw a week of recovery through May 14, having bounced at 101, near its lowest levels since April last year.

In a return to what has become classic behavior in 2023, Bitcoin network difficulty is once again due new all-time highs.
After its previous adjustment produced a slight retracement, difficulty is due to increase by around 2% this week, according to estimates from BTC.com.

The trend has been unaffected by recent short-lived upheaval in fee markets, and as Cointelegraph reported, miner revenues have increased dramatically as a result.

Some much-needed relief for those worried about overt “greed” impacting crypto markets - sentiment has seen a reset in recent days.

After hitting its highest levels since November 2021, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index shows irrational exuberance taking a major hit thanks to the recent cross-asset price comedown.
As of May 15, Fear & Greed measures 50/100 - exactly midway between its two extremes and characteristic of “neutral” market sentiment.

“With Bitcoin at $27.4k and #Ethereum at $1,825, traders continue to sour at the fact that markets have been stagnant,” it argued.
“Stablecoins are seeing major social volume upticks, typically indicative of disinterest in the markets Polarizing assets like $HEX & $PEPE have fallen big.”
