Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction: BTC/USD Risks Decline Below Crucial Support as Bitcoin Consolidates Above $60k
BTC/USD Takes a Breather as Bitcoin Consolidates Above $60k – November 6, 2021
Today,
Yesterday, the BTC price corrected upward but was repelled at the $62,200 high. Today, Bitcoin has slumped to the $60,000 psychological price level. BTC’s price is consolidating and trading above the current support. Since November 2, and after the rejection at the $67,000 high, the market has been in a steady decline. The crypto’s price is making a series of lower highs and lower lows. There is every indication that the downtrend will continue if price breaks below the current support at $60,000. Interestingly, the present support has not been broken since October 28. However, if the bears break the present support, the market will decline to $53,750 low. Conversely, if the support holds, Bitcoin will resume an upward move to retest the $64000 resistance.
Joseph O’Connor Indicted for $784 Cryptocurrency Theft Scheme
