Bitcoin (BTC) At $29,000, How Long Will The Consolidation Continue?

Bitcoin was stable for the last 24hrs, while altcoins have dropped on their charts. In the last week, Bitcoin has seen lateral price moves on the charts. Since November 2021, the price of Bitcoin has been moving on the downward side.

Bitcoin continues to indicate signs of imminent bearishness over a longer period. The king-coin could be hinting towards a price decline in a shorter timeframe.

BTC did not make any gains over the last 24 hour. The coin had been consolidating and lost 2.2% over the week. Currently, BTC is sandwiched between $28,000 and $29,000 as those two levels have been acting as the coin’s crucial demand zone.

BTC could be pushing for $20,000 with the continued support of sellers. The buyers appear to have given up the lead in price action, and it appears that they are now looking to the $20,000 level.

BTC’s price was $29,100 as of the writing. Since November 2021, the coin has been in a downward channel. This is a sign of enduring bearishness. In November 2018, the coin reached $69,000, which is the highest level for this coin.

BTC’s current price is between $29,000- $28,000. A decline below that level could cause BTC to drop as much as $19,000. The coin’s overhead resistance was $30,000, and in order for bearish thesis not to be validated BTC must trade at least $31,000.

BTC must have greater market power and more buyers in order for it to rise northwards on the chart.
