Bitcoin is back below $40,000 as the general sentiment in the market seems to turn pessimistic. The first crypto by market cap has been unable to climb back to the $50,000 area and has been moving in a tight range around its current levels. Related Reading | Bitcoin Follows US Stock Dive, Experts Predict $37,500 Price Level Negative predictions for Bitcoin and other larger cryptocurrencies are increasing. The uncertainty around the war between Ukraine and Russia, and the U.S. Federal Reserve (FED) hike in interest rates seem to be the two main catalysts for the weakness in the global market. Legendary trader Peter Brandt seems to favor the short-term bearish thesis. Pseudonym users shared a Bitcoin price prediction with Brandt which suggest the cryptocurrency could revisit critical areas of support below $30,000. This could BTC’s price to $28,000 or $27,000 as soon as May or June this year. This prediction matches that of BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes. He expects BTC and ETH to crash to $30,000 and $2,000, respectively. As seen below, in the chart presented to Brandt, Bitcoin would drop to its support zone before resuming its bullish momentum into uncharted territory. In the months after that, the first crypto by market cap could rise by about $100,000. Brandt said: Very possible. This has been my guess for many months. We will see. The crypto market is currently correlated with traditional finances. The price of Bitcoin has been moving in tandem with the Nasdaq 100. When big tech stocks show weakness, so does the price of BTC. In that sense, the bearish thesis could find more support in the following chart. Shared by Brandt, it suggests a bigger drop in big tech equities which could impact the price of Bitcoin and put additional selling pressure on the crypto market. Bitcoin Could See Short Term Relief However, traders should take any prediction with a grain of salt especially coming from Brandt or Hayes. They can change their opinions and forecasts if the market conditions support them. For my uninitiated followers on TwitterI'm guided by following principles as chart trader-Strong opinions, weakly held -Flexible, not dogmatic about anything-An opinion is not a position, a position is not an opinion-A chart is not necessarily my opinion https://t.co/WwfqyYgx3O — Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) April 22, 2022 In the short term, Bitcoin has managed to stay at its current levels despite the increase in selling pressure. Data from Material Indicators shows important support below the price. There are over $33 million in bid orders from $39,000 to $38,000 which suggest BTC could bounce back from here in case of future downside price action. To the upside, $41,500 stands as the potential biggest resistance with around $8 million in asks orders.

There has been an uptick in calls selling for May and June and an increase in demand for put options. In other words, traders are getting bearish.

As the external factors become more uncertain since the first quarter of 2022, the crypto market has kept fluctuating. Recently, it is reported that the Federal Reserve might hike up interest rates by 50 basis points in May, and the crypto market would go through a sharp price correction along with the US stock market. According to alternative.me, Crypto Fear & Greed Index has seen wide swings during the past three months and plummeted at 11 (0 means “extreme fear”). Generally speaking, market fears have increased over the recent period, and the excitement has been dampened, which is related to the recent volatility of the crypto market. Source: alternative.me Many investors believe that the crypto market would witness a period of volatility if the Fed were to raise interest rates by a scale that exceeds market expectations in May. That said, couldn’t we profit from market swings? In fact, investors can still profit during market swings. PREDICTION, which is a new feature that OneSwap will soon launch, allows investors to bet on crypto rises/falls and win prizes. With PREDICTION, investors will be able to profit whether the crypto price goes up or down. Profit from PREDICTION despite market swings According to official news, OneSwap will introduce a new feature called “PREDICTION” on April 29. After the function is launched, investors who hold CET can easily win prizes by betting on the market trend of a certain crypto per round (every ten minutes). Suppose that OneSwap opens a BTCUSDT prediction market, and users could then predict the USDT worth of BTC 10 minutes later and choose “Bet on rise” or “Bet on fall” and submit the amount of bet (CET). The bet would be temporarily deposited into the Prize Pool until the end of the round, and winners can get back their bet and earn prizes. As PREDICTION only accepts CET, OneSwap will also kick off a Prediction Trial Fund Competition that offers free CET trial funds to users on April 23. Please follow OneSwap on Twitter (@OneSwap: https://twitter.com/OneSwap) to stay updated. Activity website:https://gleam.io/competitions/ccSRs-oneswap-prediction-trial-fund-competition After this new feature goes live, OneSwap will also launch the “Win Rate Ranking Reward Game” that will last from April 29 to 09:00 on May 6 (UTC). The winning records of all users who have made a bet via PREDICTION during this period will be covered by the Win Rate Ranking. After the event ends, the top 3 winners who have placed no less than 50 bets will receive incredible CET rewards. According to the official announcements, OneSwap will kick off a series of events relating to the new function over the recent period. All users who followed @OneSwap on Twitter could win the following rewards: Collect CET trial funds for PREDICTION on April 23; Earn prizes by betting on price trends via PREDICTION on April 29; The top 3 winners of the Win Rate Ranking Reward Game who have placed at least 50 bets before May 6 will get CET rewards.

PREDICTION, a new OneSwap function coming soon, helps investors win prizes through crypto volatility and will start a betting spree after it goes live.
