Bitcoin Price Slips Again: Is This the Start of a Bigger Drop?

Bitcoin Price Takes Hit

The price of Bitcoin continued to fall below its support at approximately $57,500, dipping further down to trade near $57,200. This decline broke through a previously established bullish trend line that had offered support at around $58,900 on the hourly Bitcoin/USD chart.

Currently, Bitcoin is trading below $58,000 and slightly lower than its 100-hour Simple Moving Average. On the positive side, potential obstacles may arise for the price increase around the $57,650 mark or at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent downward trend from the peak of $59,773 to the trough of $55,591.

Initially, a significant barrier lies around the $58,000 mark. If the price manages to break through this barrier at $58,000, it may continue to climb in the upcoming periods. The next notable barrier could be found at $58,800. Should the price close above the $58,800 barrier at $58,8000, it might lead to further increases. In such a scenario, the price might attempt to reach the resistance at $60,000.
