During the European session today, BTC/USD begins the day with the resistance level of $19,315 and it is now dropping below the 9-day moving average at the time of writing. However, the psychological barrier of $19,398 still serves as the first important resistance within the market and a sustainable move above the 21-day moving average may likely push the price towards the resistance level of $20,000.
Bitcoin Price Prediction: Will BTC Drop More?
On the intraday chart, the Bitcoin price is likely to break below the 9-day moving average, which may increase the selling pressure. At the time of writing, BTC/USD is hovering at $19,173 and if this is cleared, the dips to $19,000 are likely to be bought, which means the overall bullish sentiments may prevail.
Moreover, if the price moves below the mentioned support, $18,000 could come into focus which served as support during the previous consolidation period while the critical supports lie at $17,000, $16,000, and $15,000. Looking at the upside, the first resistance may likely come at $20,000 if the king coin rebounded. Once this is done, $21,000 could come back into focus. Further bullish movement may hit the potential resistance levels at $22,000, $23,000, and $24,000 as the Relative Strength Index (14) moves below 50-level.
BTC/USD Medium-term Trend: Ranging (4H Chart)
The 4-hour chart shows that the Bitcoin bears are still in play within the market keeping the Bitcoin price below the 9-day and 21-day moving averages. Although BTC/USD has not yet slipped below $19,000, it’s still in the loop of making a bounce back.
Moreover, the Bitcoin price is currently hovering below the moving averages at the time of writing. The upward movement could push the price to the resistance of $20,000 and above while the immediate support lies at $18,500 and below. The Relative Strength Index (14) is moving in the same direction below the 50-level, which indicates sideways movement.
