The RSI\u2019s sideways movement reflects the current indecision in today\u2019s market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n BTC\u2019s <\/span>Moving Average Convergence\/divergence (MACD)<\/span><\/a> has dropped below its signal line, confirming the bearish trend.

These factors are listed below.<\/span><\/p>\n 1) Macroeconomic Factors:<\/b> Global issues such as wars, inflation, recession, and flooding could affect crypto and mining activities, thus reducing productivity. If mining activities reduce, Bitcoin’s price will decline since it uses a proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism.<\/span><\/p>\n 2) Crypto Regulations:<\/b> Some nations have suppressive crypto laws that hinder the growth and expansion of cryptocurrencies. Others have <\/span>absolute bans<\/span><\/a> on crypto, such as China and Qatar. This could affect the performance of cryptocurrencies.<\/span><\/p>\n 3) Supply And Demand:<\/b> The laws of supply and demand remain relevant for any financial market.
