Bitcoin Price Downtrend Continues: Brace for More Losses

As a researcher with experience in cryptocurrency markets, I have closely observed the recent price action of Bitcoin (BTC). Based on my analysis, it appears that the price has failed to start a sustainable recovery above the $58,500 resistance zone. Instead, BTC has resumed its downward trend and is currently trading below key support levels such as $56,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.

Bitcoin Price Turns Red

The price of Bitcoin rebounded above the $57,000 mark and reached beyond $58,000. Nevertheless, bears put up a strong resistance at the $58,500 level.

At a peak of $58,396, a new downtrend began with the price dipping beneath the thresholds of $57,000 and $56,500. The price then reached a bottom at approximately $54,301, where it currently pauses to recover losses. There was a slight uptick in value, drawing close to the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the descent from $58,396 to $54,301.

The price of Bitcoin remains under $56,500 and below its 100-hour Simple Moving Average. Nearby resistance lies around $56,000. Initial significant resistance can be found at approximately $56,400.

On the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair, a bearish trend line is developing with a resistance level at $56,350. This trend line is close to the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the price drop from $58,396 peak to $54,301 low. Should the price break above this trend line, it could potentially advance toward $57,400. The subsequent resistance might be found at $58,400.

Bitcoin Price Downtrend Continues: Brace for More Losses

As a researcher studying the market trends, I would propose that surpassing the $58,40 resistance level by a narrow margin could potentially trigger a steady upward momentum, leading the price to challenge the next resistance at $60,000 in the upcoming trading sessions.

More Losses In BTC?

If Bitcoin doesn’t manage to surpass the $56,400 barrier, there’s a possibility it might keep declining instead. The closest support lies around the $54,400 mark.

As a crypto investor, I’d interpret it this way: The price of my cryptocurrency has found its first significant support at around $53,650. Currently, a new support level is being established closer to $53,200. Should the price continue to drop, it may head towards the $52,000 zone in the short term as that area offers another potential level of support.
