Trading Bitcoin: Will Bitcoin Crash Again With Oil?

Daily

Bitcoin is in the middle of a price flip to a red 1. After being rejected at $7.3k, Bitcoin is down -1.15% today. Meanwhile, the $SPX is down -1%. However, the most prominent story of the day is USOIL, down -40% at the time of writing. USOIL crashed -30% on March 9th and less than a day afterward, Bitcoin fell over -40% in one day.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin is still in a bullish ascending triangle formation. However, if price breaks below the upward sloping trend line, bearish price action is likely to take over for the interim.
