- Bitcoin’s downward trend has continued with its price dropping below $17,600 on Dec. 11, the lowest level since November.
- The correction seems to have started 10 days ago when the leading cryptocurrency touched a new all-time high. It has since gone down 10%.
- Recent news of a potential crypto regulation in the United States is bringing fear to the otherwise euphoric market. However, other markets have also suffered this week with equities also cooling off.
- Bitcoin’s 4-hour chart is implying a clear downtrend. Such a downward trend is confirmed by lower highs and lower lows.
- Bitcoin’s price couldn’t break through the all-time high region, after which $18,500-18,700 acted as a strong support area for a week.
- After three tests, the support failed, and Bitcoin’s price fell through to the next support level between $17,600-17,800.
- To become bullish, this zone had to flip for support, which it failed to do. This rejection confirmed the bearish support/resistance flip, after which the downtrend resumed.
