 <h2 id="btc-price-grayscale-hype-disappears">BTC price “Grayscale hype” disappears</h2> 
 <p>Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed weakening BTC <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> performance, which hit its lowest since Aug. 22.</p> 
 <p>Bitcoin bears took full advantage of the August monthly close, with downside volatility characterizing Bitcoin and crypto markets overnight.</p> 
 <p>Overall, BTC/USD lost 11.2% in August, and looking ahead into September, there was little optimism regarding a rebound among market observers.</p> 
 <p>In his latest YouTube update, popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital delineated Bitcoin’s potential next steps.</p> 
 <p>BTC <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> had failed to hold on to gains coming courtesy of “Grayscale hype,” he said, with selling pressure strong and weekly relative strength index (RSI) values dropping toward a key rising trendline.</p> 
 <p>A cluster of exponential moving averages (EMAs), previously acting as support, were also now flipping to resistance.</p> 
 <p>“We’ve seen for a very long time, multiple months — over a year now, actually — that this trendline is holding, and if we lose this RSI trendline, we’ll probably see further downside,” Rekt Capital explained. </p>

 <p>Targets for a fresh drop lay at various points on the way to $23,000, now a favorite among traders.</p> 
 <p>“Somewhere between 7% and 13% should be reasonable” for September losses based on historical norms, he added, referencing data from on-chain monitoring resource CoinGlass.</p>

 <p>Should a relief rally occur, Rekt Capital continued, this could top out at $27,200 — a line in the sand that used to act as support.&nbsp;</p> 
 <h2 id="u-s-dollar-strength-retests-june-highs">U.S. dollar strength retests June highs</h2> 
 <p>Bitcoin’s performance was not helped by a second day of solid upside for U.S. dollar strength.</p> 
 <p><strong><em>Related:&nbsp;Why is the crypto market down today?</em></strong></p> 
 <p>The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) was above 104 at the time of writing, having made up for recent losses and apt to continue an uptrend that began in mid-July.</p> 
 <p>A previous local high in June acted as resistance upon a retest in August, with this now the level of interest.</p> 
 <p>Market participants are split over the current role of the DXY’s strength in suppressing BTC <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a>, with an inverse correlation between them repeatedly challenged over the past year.</p>
