Analyst Notes: Just when most of the traditional macro crypto drivers turn bearish, Bitcoin tries to show some resilience. Bitcoin is posting a modest rise as the January inflation report suggests the Fed could keep rates higher for longer. The market might be pricing in a little more Fed tightening but that isnt weighing that much on cryptos today. Regulation and contagion risks have pressured Bitcoin this month, so the downward move was potentially exhausted,"said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA.
"Bitcoin has massive support at the $20,000 level, which means something major probably needs to break in the cryptoverse for selling momentum to resume. It seems everyone is focused on what the SEC will say on staking and this wait-and-see period could support sideways price action for cryptos."
Crypto analyst Michal van de Poppe is optimistic that markets are bouncing upwards. He believes that it's only a matter of time before we hit high number targets again.

Pseudonymous analyst Kaleo said every single time Bitcoin has broken out of a major long-term bearish resistance against the Nasdaq, it has resulted in a powerful rally. Given this track record, it is highly likely that this time won't be any different

This is your last reminder that every single time BTC has broken out of a major HTF bearish resistance vs. NDX it’s had a face melting rally follow.
I have a hard time believing this time is going to be any different. pic.twitter.com/0FSFmMngAI K A L E O (@CryptoKaleo) February 14, 2023
Analyst Jason Pizzino saidBitcoin is still in a bullish market, but cautionedthat Bitcoin may experience short-term dips. He outlines three key levels of support at $20,700, $19,800, and $18,600 that the market should aim not to dip below. If Bitcoin falls further than $18,000, he said that the structure of the bull market may be radically altered.
