He added that U.S. dollar index’s (DXY) move to below 95.13 would be bearish and allow cryptocurrencies to strengthen.
If the $DXY is going to make good on the bearish engulfing week from early Feb., this is where I'd expect it to start.

Above 97.30 is bullish.
Below 95.13 is bearish.
We want the latter for #cryptos to strengthen. pic.twitter.com/kdbdPQBfNG

“The point is when we go below the bull market support band, it usually takes a while before we actually have a realistic shot at getting back above it,” Cowen said.
The analyst noted that the 20-week SMA (Simple Moving Average) for Bitcoin is at around $50,700, while the 21-week EMA (Exponential moving Average) is around $46,300.

Pseudonymous analyst Altcoin Sherpa said he does not believe Bitcoin has touched a bottom and was waiting to see where the apex cryptocurrency’s next lows will be printed.
$BTC: This is a market review and thoughts on #Bitcoin. I think it's really interesting to see where the next lows are printed.

Still not really ready to call this totally bottomed yet personally.https://t.co/xy86cljOzS
The analyst said on his YouTube channel it was entirely possible that the $34,000 to $35,000 range is the bottom for Bitcoin since the area is a high-volume node and a “pretty decent area” to fund support at.
Another pseudonymous analyst Credible Crypto said Bitcoin could move to the $45,000 to $47,000 region without filling the CME gap if it reclaimed the level below $42,625.
Still just chopping about and moving sideways. I know many are eyeing the CME gap and swing lows below and while these inefficiencies are often filled that is not always the case. A reclaim of RED and we likely head back to 45-47k without filling the gap. $BTC https://t.co/J2GW0QCs6N pic.twitter.com/hax8wIO2oe
