- Bitcoin price has breached the $19,000 price zone.
- BTC price was rejected from the 8-day exponential moving average
- A double scenario is now underway, and key levels have been identified.
Bitcoin price gives into the bearish vice grip as the bulls have abandonded ship near the $19,000 support zone.
Bitcoin price heads south
Bitcoin price has validated last month’s trade idea as the bears have successfully breached the $19,000 barrier. Last month, the 1-1 reward to risk ratio was issued while the Bitcoin price hovered directly over the 200-Week Moving Average (WMA).
Bitcoin price currently auctions at $18,756. Amidst the 26% downtrend (since the summertime highs at $25,211), the bears have shown a persistent uptick in volume. The 8-day Exponential Moving Average rejected the bullish re-entrance of the $20,000 barrier and catalyzed the final 5% decline into the current market value.
Bitcoin price now has a double scenario in play. More declines could occur on the bearish side of the coin, targeting the June 18 swing low at $17,622. If market conditions persist, the Bitcoin price is already on its way toward its target. Such a move would result in an additional 7% decline from the current market value.
On the contrary, the massive liquidity breach could give power to institutional and smart money operatives looking to trap retail bears. A hurdle over the $20,200 zone could induce a recovery rally toward the 200-Week Moving Average at $23,178, resulting in a 23% increase in the Bitcoin price.
