Bitcoin fractal hints at short-term correction

Bitcoin’s price action in September 2023 and January 2024 were similar as pointed out on February 7. Following the September 2023 moves, BTC rallied from roughly $42,000 to $52,000 in a week. 

The price action that occurred between January 30 and February 1 seems to be repeating. 

Here’s what the price fractal looks like now. If history were to repeat itself, Bitcoin price could slide to $49,556. Hence, investors need to be cautious as this drop could cause altcoins to nosedive as well.

AI-related altcoins that show strength, however, might not draw down as much as other tokens, but still, caution is advised. Coupling this fractal’s potential bearish outlook with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on February 21, markets could get volatile.
