Bitcoin continued to drop on Friday to breach below key psychological levels. Investors are in a wait-and-see mode, shrugging off upbeat employment and price data and the latest banking crisis to continue their wait for a true price catalyst. Bitcoin’s price experienced a sharp decline following wider negative sentiments after release of the US inflation data. Although the price has been consolidating at $29-$30,000 levels, the recent break of 50-day EMA suggests a bearish pattern. In the event of further decline, BTC could hit the key 100-day EMA range, around the $26,000.
The RSI reading is currently at 37.6 and has been on a downward slope in the past week, which also indicates that the asset may be in bearish territory. Major Levels Support: $26,244, $25,500 Resistance: $27,900, $29,250(Views and recommendations given in this section are the analysts' own and do not represent those of Business Today.
