Bitcoin price is compelled to a range-bound move below the resistance

Today, Bitcoin dropped sharply to the $54,000 support after rejection from the $56,000 high. For the past three days, BTC price has been facing stiff resistance at the $56,000 high.

Sellers are defending the recent high as BTC price is compelled to a range-bound move below the resistance. The bears are attempting to push Bitcoin to the $50,000 psychological price level. If the bears succeed in pushing Bitcoin to the psychological support level, there is a tendency for further downside. 

Sellers will take the advantage of breaking the $50,000 support to sink the BTC price to the previous low at $48,000. However, if the $48,000 support collapses, the market will further decline to $43,000 or $41,000 low. This will cause Bitcoin to fall into a deeper correction. Conversely, if the BTC price retraces and finds support above $54,000, there is a likelihood of upside momentum. If the bulls clear the $56,000 resistance, a rally to $61,000 is possible.
