Bitcoin Hits A Low Of $50,000 As Investors Buy The Dips

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped significantly as the largest cryptocurrency lingers above the psychological price level of $50,000.

Bitcoin price long-term prediction: bearish

The price of the cryptocurrency has been fluctuating below the $70,000 resistance zone after being rejected at the high of $68,479 on July 21. 

On July 29, the upward momentum hit resistance at $70,162, leading to the current downtrend, as reported previously by Coinidol.com. The bulls were overwhelmed as the bears broke below the moving average lines. The downtrend also broke through support at $60,000 and reached a low of $52,209. The price indicator had previously predicted a likely decline in the Bitcoin price. 

On July 25, the BTC price corrected upwards and tested the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement line with a retracing candlestick body. The retracement indicates a current decline in the coin. It suggests that Bitcoin will fall to the 2.618 Fibonacci extension or $52,748.

The market has reached an oversold level and a further decline is unlikely. Bitcoin will rise if the $50,000 support remains.
