In a Wednesday report titled "Winter is Coming," analyst Wolf Rob Ginsberg stated that the recent weakness in cryptocurrencies was an early warning sign, and conditions continued to deteriorate as the year approaches its end.

Ginsberg points to negative trends prevalent across major currencies, with many trading below key moving averages (MAs) and many approaching or below 52-week lows. What is particularly concerning, he said, is the absence of overbought conditions, arguing that selling pressure remains strongly dominant.

"Negative trends remain at all levels," he wrote, adding that momentum indicators show no sign of a breakout.

Bitcoin was not exempt. Ginsberg stated that the recent rebound failed quickly and that sellers continue to dominate price movement. An additional test of support around $75,000 is expected, describing this level as the initial target for the drop after the recent collapse.

Ethereum shows a similar pattern, with the analyst noting that the rebound reversed at the 50-day moving average and that prices are now trending downward again, with a near-term retest of support around $2,600 seen as likely.

Relative performance trends also reinforce the negative outlook. Bitcoin has recently maintained better performance than most altcoins, with the alternative currency index returning to levels of 2023.The alternative currencies index has returned to levels of 2023.
