Why It Matters: This week the focus returns to the Federal Reserve ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting scheduled for Jan. 25 and 26.

The fall in Bitcoin came as cryptocurrency traders derisked portfolios following the bloodbath seen in stocks on Friday and ahead of the FOMC policy meeting, according to Edward Moya, a senior analyst at OANDA.

Moya pitched $30,000 as the level at which the apex coin may find support. Cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen also gave a similar reading of the situation.

Clearly $30,000 is a big area as well. I dont want to say theres necessarily an absolute floor, because if you do, and it goes below it, then you have to make a new floor, Cowen said.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index by Alternative flashed Extreme Fear at press time. A value of 0 on the index implies Extreme Fear while a value of 100 signals Extreme Greed. At press time, the index stood at 13.

Pseudonymous cryptocurrency investor Kaleo said on Twitter Sunday that the current dip in cryptocurrency valuations is unlike prior downturns.

I know a lot of you still arent believers in cycles, but unfortunately I really dont think this is one of those dips where well quickly reclaim highs within the next few months.

The conditions are different from last summer. Momentum has shifted.

Cryptocurrency trader Lark Davis pointed to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in a tweet on Sunday. RSI is a measure of the speed and magnitude of directional price movements.

An RSI value of 70 or above indicates the asset is overbought or overvalued, while a low RSI indicates oversold or undervalued conditions.
