Previously, the price range between $50,000 and $51,000 acted as support. However, for BTC/USD to turn bullishly, the bulls need to take it out decisively to turn it into support once again and then push the coin above the channel to face the resistance level of $55,000, $57,000, and $59,000.

Therefore, for Bitcoin to be rejected at $51,000, the drop may lead to a decline below the 9-day and 21-day moving averages. Should in case the coin falls more, it could rely on the long-term support levels at $47,000, $45,000, and $43,000 as the Relative Strength Index (14) moves in the same direction.
