Bitcoin Rallies After Hitting 3-Month Low But Analyst Says Overall Bear Trend Remains

  • Bitcoin saw a brief 7% rally after hitting a 3-month low, but analyst Benjamin Cowen says overall trend remains bearish due to recent death cross.

  • Cowen outlines 3 potential scenarios - Bitcoin continues fading around $26.7k, rallies to $27.5k before dropping, or spikes just under $29.2k before fading.

  • Cowen believes Bitcoin's bounce was a typical "death cross rally" and it could move in any number of directions next.

  • Bitcoin is currently trading around $26,134, down significantly from its all-time high.

  • Cowen does not recommend buying or selling any cryptocurrencies and says investors should do their own due diligence.
