On the 4H chart, Bitcoin (BTC) is likely to break the vital level at $30,000. Such a statement is confirmed by the high selling trading volume and the lines of the MACD indicator that have entered the red zone.
In this case, there are high chances of seeing the main crypto trading below $29,000 shortly.

On the bigger time frame, Bitcoin (BTC) is even more bearish as if it fixed below $30,000. It may get to the next vital support at around $24,300 within a few days. The low liquidity supports such a move.
