Bitcoin (BTC) Price Highlights

• The Bitcoin price has reached a close below its 200-week moving average (MA).

• There is long-term support at $3,300.

Bitcoin’s 200-Week MA

The BTC price decreased rapidly over the past week, breaking down below significant support areas without experiencing any type of bounce. The weekly close was only slightly below the 200-week MA, even if the price has decreased below it since. It seems likely that the price is now trading in a range between $4.200-$6.000, with the $5.100 area acting as the midpoint (EQ) of the range. The price is currently below this level, so it is expected that it will move towards the bottom of the range unless it reclaims the EQ. If the current support fails, the next support area is found near $3,300, coinciding with the December 2018 bottom.

Fibonacci Levels

Looking at the Fib retracement levels on the decrease beginning on March 9, we can see that the recent bounce did not have considerable strength since it was twice rejected at the 0.382 Fib level of the decrease and failed to move above it. This sign also aligns with the price decrease below the middle of the range and suggests that BTC will revisit the $4,000 lows once more. The generation of bullish divergence in the RSI and the possible creation of bullish patterns such as the double-bottom will determine whether the price will make another attempt towards $6,000 or break down and head towards the next support area at $3,300. To conclude, the BTC price has decreased rapidly over the past week, breaking down below significant support levels. The price is expected to move towards the range low at $4,200 before possibly making another attempt at breaking out above $6,000.
