The new week has been quite bearish for bitcoin, with the price witnessing major crashes below multiple support levels. After losing its footing above $71,000, it has plunged further below $67,000, signaling the start of a downtrend. Amid the uncertainty, a crypto analyst has presented the important levels to watch as Bitcoin makes it descent, showing a possible direction for the price.
Bitcoin Enters Sideways Consolidation
In an analysis on the TradingView platform, crypto analyst Bitcoin Signals revealed some important developments for the Bitcoin price. The first observation is the fact that the coin has entered a consolidation zone on the 4-hour chart. This consolidation is currently taking place between $67,000 and $72,000, an area that the price is currently skirting around.
As a result of this development, the crypto analyst believes that short-term correction is forming for the cryptocurrency. This is behind the drop in price, and since then, the BTC price has broken down below important support levels such as $69,200, and on Tuesday morning, bears were able to pull the price below $67,000 after breaking below the support zone of $67,200 identified by Bitcoin Signals in the analysis.
The crypto analyst further pointed out that the price could continue to move inside this range, which is where the correction is forming. However, there has been a falling wedge pattern that has been forming through the breakdown. According to the analyst, this could see the Bitcoin price break out of the $69,200 resistance once again and make another run for $72,000.
Based on the analysis, the crypto analyst believe that the price could continue to correct downward unless it’s able to break resistance at $72,000. Bitcoin Signals based this on the “current market structure and price behavior following a clear breakout on the long-term chart,” suggesting a continuation of the decline.
BTC Price On The Charts
Selling pressure is currently dominating the Bitcoin price, as evidenced by the direction of the cryptocurrency while seeing an uptick in major metrics. For example, CoinMarketCap data shows that the daily trading volume of BTC is up 89.85% in the last day. However, with the price going down, it suggests that this increase in volume is being caused by sellers rather than buyers.
In the last 24 hours, the Bitcoin price has seen an almost 4% decline in price, falling to the $66,700 territory. This has eliminated the majority of its gains from last week as the weekly chart shows a 3% decline. It has fallen to its lowest level in June, putting it on par with the May 2024 crash.
