Bitcoin (BTC) needs to maintain current levels and try to recover higher levels to avoid crashing into the $ 20,000 range, the latest analysis suggests.
Is $ 20,000 imminent?
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed that the BTC / USD pair still failed to consolidate the $ 30,000 support when Wall Street opened on May 16th.
The pair posted additional losses after the weekly close at $ 31,300 – a disappointment for market participants alone after sealing the seventh consecutive weekly red candle.
While the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) indicated that it sold almost all BTC reserves during the collapse of Terra (LUNA) and TerraUSD last week, an understandable lack of future sales failed to lift market sentiment.
“ The next few days will be very important. Keep these levels, go up from here “, yes abstract the famous Phoenix trader in a Twitter message published during the day.
“If that fails, my eyes are on prices between $ 21,800 and $ 23,800. I was not hoping to keep them in mind again, lol. I was wrong to think that the 1st quarter structure was the beginning of a trend reversal. »
Phoenix is far from alone and predicts it will return to even lower levels than last week’s low at just under $ 24,000.
Reaching the consensus, another trader and analyst, Rekt Capital, also suggested that $ 20,000 would be an area of interest if current levels were not in place and buyers did not rise.
