Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, said: “In last week’s report, we stated that BTC appeared to be overbought in the short term. As reflected by the increase in the Greed and Fear Index, the reversal signal has turned bearish, indicating that the next few days may There will be a callback.”
There are two major changes in the market in the past week. 10x Research maintains its optimistic outlook for the fourth quarter.
Markus Thielen added: “Since June, the first week of every month (when US ISM manufacturing data is released) has been characterized by a 10% price drop. This drop is consistent with this pattern.”
The September report is due out on Oct. 1 and is expected to show continued tightening in manufacturing data in the final month of the third quarter. “ISM manufacturing data showed that forward-looking indicators have dropped to near-recession levels, making tomorrow’s data uncertain.
