After incurring a bout of capitulation throughout the latter part of yesterday, Bitcoin (BTC) has been able to post a decently strong rally that has allowed it to recapture its position within the lower-$7,000 region, and its recent lows may ultimately mark a long-term bottom for the crypto.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that the latest rally came about after the cryptocurrency tapped a key trendline that kicked off the 2019 bull run earlier this year, and a continued defense of this level could help bolster the crypto\u2019s mid-term price action.<\/p>\n
At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> is trading down marginally at its current price<\/a> of $7,200, and it has been able to erase a significant amount of the losses that were incurred yesterday evening when BTC dipped to lows of $6,500.<\/p>\n It appears that $6,500 is a strong level of support for the cryptocurrency, as its visit to this region was instantly followed by a strong influx of buying pressure that sent it back to the $7,000 region, leading some analysts to believe that this could mark a mid-term bottom.<\/p>\n One factor that should be carefully considered while determining whether or not $6,500 is a bottom for Bitcoin<\/a> is that the \u201cfear and greed\u201d index \u2013 which is widely viewed as a contrarian indicator \u2013 is showing that the market sentiment surrounding BTC is \u201cextreme fear.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Anderson, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, spoke about this in a recent tweet, saying:<\/p>\n \u201c$BTC Fear & Greed: Extreme Fear is warranted. They will push until pushed back. The novice should stay on the sidelines. Pros should enjoy the volatility. Typically, the only way out of these scenarios is to bounce out.
