Bitcoin (BTC) is currently experiencing increasing bearish pressure, with technical indicators suggesting a potential decline toward the $63,316 mark. This price drop is driven by factors such as weakening momentum and decreasing trading volume.
As Bitcoin targets the $63,316 mark, Investors and analysts are closely monitoring this development, as it may indicate further declines and set the stage for BTC to test lower support levels. This article analyzes Bitcoin’s current price movements and technical indicators signaling a potential further decline for the cryptocurrency focusing on the 4-hour and the 1-day chart.
Bitcoin currently has a market capitalization exceeding $1.3 trillion and a trading volume surpassing $39 billion. As of the time of writing, its price was down by 3.81%, trading around $66,814 over the last 24 hours. During this period, the asset’s market cap has decreased by 3.84%, while its trading volume has surged by 70.25%.
Technical Analysis: Key Bearish Indicators
On the 4-hour chart, the price of BTC looks bearish as it is currently dropping towards the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). It can also be observed here that Bitcoin’s price has printed multiple bearish candlesticks as it approaches the $63,316 support level.
The Composite Trend Oscillator on the 4-hour chart further indicates a bearish trend, as both signal lines have fallen below the indicator’s SMA and are heading toward the zero level. If the price continues to decline as the indicator suggests, it could drop below the 100-day SMA, potentially reaching the $63,316 mark.
A closer examination of BTC’s movement on the 1-day chart shows that the failure to break above the 1-day trendline has led to a significant price drop toward the 100-day SMA and the $63,316 support level. This has resulted in Bitcoin successfully printing a bearish candlestick in the previous day’s trading.
Additionally, the 1-Day composite trend oscillator indicates a potential bearish decline, as the signal line is currently attempting to cross below the indicator’s SMA. If this crossover is successful, it could lead to further losses for the crypto asset.
Recovery Or Further Decline For Bitcoin?
Should the digital asset’s price fall below the 100-day SMA and the $63,316 mark, it may continue to drop to test the $60,152 support level. When this level is breached, BTC may experience more price drops toward the $53,541 support range and possibly other levels below.
However, given that Bitcoin fails to decline further as predicted and turns to move upward, it will begin to move toward the $71,909 resistance level. It could move even higher to challenge the $73,811 resistance point if it breaks above $71,909 and possibly moves on to create a new all-high.
