The post Crypto Analyst Warns Bitcoin Remains Vulnerable Above $50,000, Says Zero Reasons To Be Bullish on One DeFi Altcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

A widely followed crypto strategist thinks that Bitcoin (BTC) is in a tough spot even as it trades above $50,000. Analyst Justin Bennett tells his 112,000 followers on the social media platform X that BTC has hit the diagonal resistance of an ascending channel. An ascending channel is typically viewed as a bullish pattern as it suggests that an asset is going through an uptrend and printing higher highs and higher lows.

The analyst notes that the pullback will be confirmed if INJ dips below $31. “I’ve only seen one bearish take on INJ all week out of dozens. I see zero reasons to be bullish here. Confirmation below $31. Invalidation above $37. Zero emotion needed.”  Source: Justin Bennett/X At time of writing, INJ is trading for $36.97, just slightly…
