The price of the first cryptocurrency is declining after it failed to gain a foothold above $36 thousand yesterday. What happens to the asset price and what are the options for further development of events? What do experts predict for bitcoin?
Over the past day, the bitcoin exchange rate has decreased by 6%, to the current level of $33.4 thousand. The price of the first cryptocurrency began to fall after they rose to $36.6 thousand yesterday afternoon. The market capitalization of the asset again fell to $643 billion, and its market share was 44.6%. Altcoins, in general, have suffered more than bitcoin.
Technicals in bitcoin price prediction
Yesterday’s short-term increase in the price of BTC happened during the evening in the United States, when there is little liquidity, and China was sleeping. It was an attempt by “whales” to expand the market. However, the trend remains downward. The current situation cannot be called “crypto-winter”, because this is a 50% drop from “very overbought levels”.
On the four-hour chart, the price of bitcoin is “squeezed” between the key moving averages with periods of 50 and 200. In this case, MA 200 acts as a resistance, which corresponds to approximately the level of $36 thousand, and MA 50-support in the area of $34 thousand. An unsuccessful attempt to break through the level of $36 thousand was not accompanied by an aggressive sell-off. It may indicate a wait-and-see attitude of the traders.
The breakdown of one of the two MA will determine the movement either to the upper limit of a wide lateral range in the area of $42-40 thousand, or the lower one in the area of $30 thousand.
There are different opinions on the bitcoin price prediction. Any pullback may be viewed as an opportunity for purchases, since according to Wyckoff’s cumulative model, bitcoin can move towards $37-39 thousand. A small pullback will follow and further movement to $42 thousand or even $47 thousand will be in place.
