Bitcoin Crashes Above $90,000, But Faces Further Declines

Bitcoin (BTC) price has been stagnant since peaking at $108,000. Cryptocurrency price analysis brought by Coinidol.com.

Bitcoin price long term forecast: bearish

On December 20, the negative trend fell below the moving average lines and was halted by the 50-day SMA. The bulls bought the dips, but their upside momentum was halted by the 21-day SMA, which was between the moving average lines. The negative momentum came to a halt at the 50-day SMA or support at $92,000. Bitcoin is currently confined to the moving average lines. Should the bears break the 50-day SMA support, Bitcoin would drop to a low of $88,000. On the other hand, if the 50-day SMA support holds, Bitcoin will trade above and below the 21-day SMA resistance. In other words, Bitcoin will trade above the $92,000 support but below the $100,000 resistance. At the time of writing, the value of Bitcoin is $93,319.

Bitcoin is trapped between two moving average lines. The largest cryptocurrency will perform when either the 50-day SMA support or the 21-day SMA resistance is broken. For example, if the bears break the 50-day SMA support, the selling pressure will increase again. Bitcoin will resume its positive trend if the buyers keep the price above the 21-day SMA resistance.
