A popular crypto analyst believes Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC<\/a>) price is heading much lower based on one key indicator.<\/p>\n

In a new market update, Benjamin Cowen tells<\/a> his 993,000 YouTube subscribers that Bitcoin remains in a bear market after hitting resistance at the the 200-day simple moving average (SMA).<\/p>\n

Cowen says the 200-day SMA is an accurate indicator of future Bitcoin prices, citing 2018 and 2022 as previous examples when BTC hit the 200-day SMA and then crashed.<\/p>\n

Cowen outlines two possible bearish Bitcoin scenarios that could play out in the coming months based on historic precedence.<\/p>\n

\u201cRejection off the 200-day: the more bearish view is it comes down into May, holds there for a little, and then sells off into June, and then sweeps the February low like it did at the end of 2018. From there, you could have a counter trend rally in July and August, before then going lower into October, and then marking the market cycle bottom.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking at his chart, Cowen suggests that Bitcoin will bottom at around $46,000.<\/p>\n

In the other bearish scenario, Cowen says Bitcoin would have another big rally into the $80,000 range before bottoming.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see we always tag that .382 level [Fibonacci retracement level] before you get that final drop\u2026 before really selling off into the the end of the bear market\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n

And so there\u2019s another path that would call for Bitcoin to drop into June. I get all beared up again, and then it just goes right back up to the highs [around $87,000]. People dunk on me again, and then you sell off into into Q4.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
