While Bitcoin is touted as uncorrelated, the cryptocurrency has been following the inverse of one asset over the past few months: the U.S. dollar. Like gold, BTC’s price action is partially dictated by the value of fiat currencies.

Over the past few months, the negative correlation gold and Bitcoin have with the U.S. dollar has been exacerbated.

Unfortunately for BTC, then, there are analysts expecting the U.S. dollar to bounce in the coming weeks. This could put pressure on Bitcoin, forcing it back under $10,000.

The Dollar Could Soon Bounce: Here’s What That Means for Bitcoin

A leading cryptocurrency trader believes that the Dollar Index, which tracks the value of the U.S. dollar against a basket of foreign currencies, is in a textbook bull pattern.

He shared the chart below, depicting that the asset is trading in a textbook descending broadening wedge:

“My thoughts on $DXY. Now I’m not a fan of descending broadening wedges and this isn’t the cleanest example out there- but I think it could play out. Probably one of the rare instances you will ever see me post a broadening wedge-ish like pattern. Chart from yesterday and today.”

The abovementioned analyst isn’t the only one that thinks the U.S. dollar may be bottoming to undergo a bullish reversal, thus harming the Bitcoin bull case.

One cryptocurrency and foreign cryptocurrency trader shared the chart below late in August. It suggests that the Dollar Index is bottoming, which could harm the trajectories of Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and silver:

“$DXY finally finding support? Keep an eye on this chart, if we regain that top level expect $BTC, $ETH, $Gold and $Silver to fall further.”

More Stimulus?

The one factor that could cause the U.S. dollar to ease its rally, fiscal stimulus, is on hold.

Bloomberg just reported that the odds of another stimulus bill from the U.S. government has dropped due to political trends:

“Odds of another round of fiscal stimulus for the U.S. economy dropped on Thursday as senators headed out of Washington for the weekend following a partisan split over a slimmed-down package proposed by Republicans.”
