23K is turning out to be a bull trap considering the rapid sell-off of July 26. If sellers press on today, BTC may drop to 18.8k in a retest, dashing bulls' hopes.
#Bitcoin Technical Analysis
Currently, BTC is steady, hovering at yesterday’s close in a bear formation. Notably, prices are at the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement of the trading range from July 13 to 20. Historically, crypto price corrections tend to force prices towards the 78.6 percent price level from peaks. This reaction point flashes with the 20k level as per the BTCUSDT arrangement in the daily chart. Therefore, considering the dump on July 26 with high trading volumes, traders may find entries on every attempt higher on lower time frames with targets at 20k and later 18.8k if sellers follow through.
What to Expect from #BTC?
The path of least resistance in the short to medium term is southwards. As such, bears have their eyes on 20k unless there is a shift in trend above 22k and, on the safe side, 23k. Accordingly, traders may find entries on every pullback to unload, targeting 2022 lows and riding the current sell-off.
Resistance level to watch out for: 22k
Support level to watch out for: 20k
