Bitcoin Faces Potential Correction: Ichimoku Cloud Breakdown and Tax Loss Harvesting Pressure

Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: ‘Ominous Sing’: Bitcoin Suddenly Plunges Lower Original Link: Earlier today, the price of Bitcoin dropped to an intraday low of $86,673 after experiencing extreme volatility. The flagship coin is currently trading at $87,208 after paring some losses.

An Ominous Sign

Prominent trader Josh Olszewicz has warned that Bitcoin could be on the cusp of another correction. Using the Ichimoku Cloud indicator, Olszewicz has noted that Bitcoin is currently on the verge of breaking down into the cloud on the weekly chart.

This essentially means that Bitcoin’s uptrend is ending, and the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of dropping to the bottom of the cloud.

Another Bearish Factor

The trader has identified tax harvesting as yet another major bearish factor.

Tax loss harvesting is a strategy where investors sell assets that are at a loss before the end of the calendar year in order to be able to offset capital gains taxes on other profits.

Olszewicz expects tax-harvesting to create more artificial selling pressure in December.

A Bear Flag Breakdown

The flagship cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a bear flag breakdown.

This pattern looks like a flag pole followed by a flag, which represents a period of slow sideways movement. The breakdown occurs when the price drops to the bottom of the flag.

Dropped again... Can't hold 86k? Looks like the tax loss harvesting season has truly arrived.

Dropped again? Tax loss harvesting this time is really aggressive. Let's wait and see if we can catch the bottom.
