Bitcoin (BTC) bounced back to around $121,500 after dipping below $120,000 late Thursday. Further gains may be difficult to achieve or could prove short-lived for two reasons.<\/p>\n

First, momentum indicators on short-term charts have turned bearish. On the hourly chart, the 50-, 100-, and 200-candle simple moving averages (SMAs) have aligned bearishly, now stacked one below the other \u2013 a classic bearish configuration. Additionally, the pattern of consecutive lower highs points to weakening buying pressure.<\/p>\n

Second, key ETFs are signaling a risk-off sentiment. <\/p>\n

The iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) has broken below its bullish trendline from May lows and slipped beneath its 50-day SMA for the first time in six months. <\/p>\n

As HYG holds high-yield (“junk”) corporate bonds, a downtrend here typically reflects rising investor aversion to risk, with investors moving away from riskier, lower-rated bonds.<\/p>\n

While BTC is often called digital gold, it has historically correlated with stocks, reflecting broader market risk sentiment.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the financial sector, the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF), which tracks major banking stocks, has lost momentum since late August and appears to be forming a rounding-top pattern suggestive of a bear market. Similarly, the regional banking ETF (KRE) has also broken below its bullish trendline established since April.<\/p>\n

Key levels<\/h2>\n

BTC’s bearish technical setup on short duration charts, coupled with caution in key bond and banking ETFs, indicate a market environment leaning towards risk aversion. <\/p>\n

The immediate support for BTC is seen at $120,000 followed by $118,000. A move above $124,000 would weaken the case for a deeper pullback. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
