Huobi Group Exec: ‘Downward Force Is Still Relatively Strong — Pay Attention to the Downward Momentum’

Speaking with Du Jun, co-founder of Huobi Group, Jun says that bitcoin began to fall again after jumping above the $48K region this past weekend. “According to data from Huobi Global, BTC began to fall after reaching a high of 48,300 on weekends,” Jun told our newsdesk. “It is now around 46,000 and the downward trend is relatively stable. It is likely to further break through the 45,500 pressure level. From 4h K-lines, the price is still in a stable downward channel. DIF crossed DEA and formed a downward signal.

“The K-line ran near the lower rail of the Bollinger Bands, and the trading volume was relatively sluggish,” the Huobi Group executive said. “At the daily level, price fluctuations have gradually slowed down in recent days, and price fluctuations were temporarily controllable. In short term, pay attention to the downward momentum and the breakthrough of the 45500 position below.”

Jun further added:

[Ethereum] declined steadily during daytime, falling from a high of 3980 to a low of 3760, and is now near 3780. Judging from the 4h k-line, the k-line fluctuated greatly today, which changed the stability of the past days. However, it is not difficult to see from the daily line that the drop is to pull the k-line back into the downward channel, indicating that the downward force is still relatively strong. In short term, pay attention to extent of the price drop.
