Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped for six consecutive days in a row. It’s currently declined by 54% as of this writing. The king of cryptocurrency plunged by 4.3% and traded under $22,000 on Monday. It has increased by 14% last week yet ended with a retracement.

On Sunday, BTC prices have improved a bit by 14%. The slight spike in price marks the traders’ massive sell-off happening at the $23,000 range or BTC being sent to exchanges.

BTC volume or flow towards exchanges has increased in the past 24 hours. There was a marked increase in terms of net deposits implying the large volume of BTC being moved to exchanges that can help them exit their current BTC position. Buying window is seen from July 14.

BTC Prices Show Resistance At $23,000

More so, it is expected that BTC prices will continue to be consistent showing some support at the $20,500 range and resistance seen at around $23K.

We should be paying close attention to GDP growth statistics on Thursday as analysts estimated a growth of roughly 0.5%. Meanwhile, a GDP that hovers below 0.5% will give away a bearish movement for both the digital and traditional markets. A negative sentiment is predictive of the possibility that the economy will move into recession.

If in case the price range doesn’t hold up at $22,000, Bitcoin may fall in a heap at $19,000. It’s apparent that BTC is attempting to keep with the tremendous selling pressure initiated by the bears. Bitcoin has had massive gains since June 18 wherein the digital gold jumped from $20,700 to as much as $23,800 in just two days.

Will Bitcoin Price Bottom Out?

Now, it’s dangerously leaning towards $19,000. But, can Bitcoin really bounce swiftly to this uncomfortable figure? With the large inflows present in the market, this dangerous bounce to $19,000 is a possibility and can pose a huge problem in the market.

There are different factors supporting the possibility that the recent towards $23,000 was in fact a bear pit as BTC was able to breech the resistance and then was able to revert back, leaving the bulls suffering incremental losses.

BTC is said to be in the process of bottoming out following its gains of 25% and then cascading down to $17,500 on June 18.

Bitcoin’s minimal loss suggests that BTC Bulls are cooking up their next move. BTC is seen to be oversold due to its weak RSI in June 13. This seems like a familiar trend when BTC’s RSI also dropped to 20 in March 9 and consequently rallied to $69,000 in November 2021.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
