Bitcoin Turns Down From $21,800 And Continues New Selling

Bitcoin (BTC) price is in a downtrend while making an upward correction to the high of $21,800.

Bitcoin price long term forecast: bearish

Bitcoin buyers failed to redeem the cryptocurrency as they failed to keep the price above the $22,000 resistance. On the other hand, Bitcoin could have risen above the moving average lines or the high of $23,400 if the buyers succeed above the high of $22,000. 

Moreover, the BTC price would resume the uptrend. Today, the bears are trying to resume the selling pressure as Bitcoin is facing rejection at the high of $21,800. On the downside, the bears will try to retake the current support at $20,790. However, if Bitcoin falls back below the $20,790 support, the downtrend will resume. Bitcoin will continue to fall to the lows of $18,912 and $17,605.
