3 Signs Of Crypto Market Crash After Bitcoin Halving

The upcoming Bitcoin halving has sparked a lot of speculations on the direction of assets in the near term with users looking to spot signs of a crypto market crash. In recent weeks massive liquidations have been recorded in the crypto market caused by macroeconomic factors.

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) stands at $63,140 while other crypto assets witness sell-offs days before the halving. The halving event is perceived as ushering in bullish momentum. However, some analysts say this year might be slower due to present factors.

If the crypto markets go on an uphill run before a bearish trend or simply trades sideways, here are 3 signs of a crash after the Bitcoin halving.

Whale and Miner Movements

Bitcoin whale and miners’ assets movements are a way to track the direction of the market. This is due to the large amounts of assets they control. If Bitcoin whales move BTC off centralized exchanges to other custodians, it pointed in an upward direction because they would likely hold for long periods.

However, assets flowing to exchanges indicate an imminent sale. This might not apply to miners as they can hedge assets to build mining capacity. This trend was seen this year as whales moved assets after the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States.

Reduced Trading Volumes

A gradual drop in trading volumes shows a reduced market sentiment leading up to a bear phase. On-chain activities stall during a bear market and pick up with net inflows and positivity. In 2022, the crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi) market saw a significant reduction in trading volumes as the bear trend dominated narratives. This is a sign of a crypto market crash to look out for after the Bitcoin halving.

Relative Strength Index and Greed

This is another sign of a market crash after the Bitcoin halving because of a possible reversal. The RSI shows buying pressure compared to selling pressure and is measured from 0-100. A higher RSI generally means an upward movement but when figures get too high, it indicates a possible reversal.
