Bitcoin may be bruised, but big names are keeping the faith as data shows investors have seized the chance to “buy the dip” on BTC.
Bitcoin $16,605 starts a new week on shaky ground after its lowest weekly close in two years.
The largest cryptocurrency considerably weakened after last week’s implosion of exchange FTX, continues to grapple with the fallout.
In what is becoming an increasingly erratic market, investors are unsure what will happen next as more firms sound the alarm over solvency and regulators step up investigations in the crypto space.
The mood among the majority is intensely fearful, and even some of the industry’s best-known names warn that it has been set back several years as a result of last week’s events.
At the same time for Bitcoin, it is business as usual. FTX is not the first such debacle it has weathered, and under the hood, the network remains as robust as ever.
Cointelegraph takes a look at the factors set to influence BTC price action in the coming days as the average hodler gets to grips with major losses and ongoing volatility.
Crypto braces for fresh FTX fallout
While little is for certain in the current crypto market environment, it is safe to say that FTX and its aftermath is now the number one source of Bitcoin price volatility.
The weekly chart says it all — a -$5,500 “red” candle for the seven days through Nov. 13 to the lowest weekly close since mid-November 2020, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows.
At the time of writing, BTC/USD is still around that close — $16,300 reappearing as a relief bounce after the pair wicked to just $15,780 on Bitstamp overnight.

Against the backdrop of ongoing uncertainty, making BTC price predictions is thus no easy task.
Turning to the moving average convergence divergence (MACD), analyst Matthew Hyland warned that the BTC/USD 3-day chart was about to repeat a bearish setup, which led to losses both times it appeared in 2022.
“Bitcoin 3-Day MACD is in position to cross Bearish tomorrow for the first time since April,” he wrote:
“It can be avoided if BTC can get positive price action before the 3-Day closes. Previous two crosses in the past year resulted in further downward price action.”
