Bitcoin Price (BTCUSD) Sees Violent $750 Drop, Top Formation Appears

Yesterday, crypto bulls began celebrating as Bitcoin poked its head above resistance at $12,000 momentarily, before pulling back ahead of the first daily close of the new month.

The failure to set a new high, coinciding with some bearish technical signals and underlying market factors, may have prompted the selloff. But how low will this correction go? Is this another opportunity to buy the dip, or is this a more extensive reversal?

Bitcoin Price Forms Head And Shoulders After Today’s 6% Correction, Targets Retest of $10,000

Bitcoin price has been on a slow and steady uptrend most of 2020. The only discrepancy was the Black Thursday collapse in mid-March that took down stocks, crypto, metals, and more.

All signs are pointing to the crypto asset’s next bull trend beginning, but key resistance levels remain. With $10,000 now a thing of the past, the primary resistance lies above $12,000, and above there, $13,800 where the June 2019 top took place.

After several attempts, Bitcoin may have made its last try to hold above $12,000 for some time, given the severity of today’s $750 drop and the formation of an ominous top pattern.

In addition to diving over 6% already from last night’s daily close, less than 12 hours later it has put the cryptocurrency at risk for confirming a head and shoulders pattern.

Head and shoulders are a bearish reversal pattern often found at the top of a trend. These patterns are characterized by a left and right shoulder, with a peak or “head” in between. The pattern represents a tug of war scenario playing out between buyers and sellers, where ultimately, buyers lose.

The pattern confirming would take Bitcoin below the support level at $11,350 that’s currently holding, potentially causing a cascade of selling and stops being hit, pushing Bitcoin to a new local low.

As for how far that may go, $11,000 itself could act as support. However, the head and shoulders top target would send Bitcoin tumbling back down towards $10,250, which is where the previous high lies prior to the impulse up from consolidation.

Just as Bitcoin price required several attempts to break through $10,000 before it was able to hold, above $12,000 could require similar strength gathered after plenty of tries.

Resistance at $10,000 was a tough nut to crack, losing that support would be devastating for Bitcoin, and could put any early signs of a new bull market in serious jeopardy.

Will Bitcoin hold at $11,000, or $10,000 below it, and revisit $13,000 and higher? Or was this the top for 2020 and things are going to cool off in crypto for a while once again?

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a digital media executive and global remote work leader with a decade of content experience and excellent. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
