BTCUSD weekly price action has pushed directly into the highly publicized \u201cdeath cross\u201d of the 50-week and 200-week moving averages \u2014 the first one in Bitcoin\u2019s history.\u00a0 Related Reading: Forget The Moon: Bitcoin Could Target The \u201cCloud\u201d At $40K The death cross signal itself is bearish, and because it\u2019s never happened before, even bulls should be weary of how the market reacts at this key level.\u00a0 A death cross typically tells investors that the longer term trend is possibly changing.\u00a0 Moving averages send several other signals to the technical analyst \u2014 a crossover is only one. A moving average turning up or down after an extended trend is another. Finally, passing above or below a moving average is yet another possible signal.\u00a0 Bitcoin price is smashing into the weekly death cross head-first | BTCUSD on TradingView.com R.I.P. Or Time To Rip Higher? In addition to providing potentially useable signals, moving averages act as dynamic support and resistance. A cluster of moving averages suggests a strong area of support or resistance. And because of that, whatever happens next will send an important message to the market. \u00a0 Bitcoin passing above the duo of dynamic resistance levels could flip them into support and cement the idea the bear market is over. Meanwhile, rejection from the key resistance level could be demoralizing for bulls and give bears the upper hand to push cryptocurrencies to dramatic new lows.\u00a0 Related Reading: Total Crypto Market Triggers Golden Cross, Despite \u201cDeadly\u201d Bitcoin Counterpart The fate of the next several months of price action could be decided with the outcome of this important inflection point.\u00a0The death cross itself hasn\u2019t yet confirmed until the Sunday evening, giving bulls less than 72 hours to rise substantially above the two moving averages for a chance to avoid it.\u00a0 After touching the moving averages initially today, Bitcoin suffered a more than $1,000 correction back to below $24,000. Although historically Bitcoin has always narrowly avoided the crossover, the lack of time left to avoid the death cross make a confirmation likely.\u00a0 Follow @TonyTheBullBTC on Twitter or join\u00a0the TonyTradesBTC Telegram for exclusive daily market insights and technical analysis education.
