Past Performance of Bitcoin
The last three days have been turbulent for BTC prices. Bitcoin prices crashed to as low as $25,800 before bouncing and stabilizing. Despite the recovery, price action favors sellers since the coin is trading at below critical resistance. Overall, this outlook will remain bearish and can influence price action in the session ahead.
#Bitcoin Technical Analysis
The bearish outlook remains until prices break 28.3k and 30k. This can happen considering the long lower wick of May 12, pointing to strong rejection. Notice that the follow-through wasn't strong, suggesting pent-up momentum that can only be shaped once there is a breakout. A surge higher may be the foundation for a leg up to 31k. Moreover, the strong rejection on May 12 is at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the March to April 2023 trade range, an important level. Therefore, how prices pan out in the days ahead can shape the medium-term trend.
What to Expect from #BTC?
The bear run could be coming to an end, and the May 12 bar had a long lower wick suggesting intense buying pressure. Moreover, the divergence from the lower BB indicates low volatility. Therefore, there are risks for traders who might short without a convincing close below last week's lows at 25.8k. For now, any upswing above 28.3k might ignite demand.
Resistance level to watch: 28.3k
Support level to watch: 25.8k
