Vic said that Bitcoin is simply studying the resistance area near its record high, highlighting the possibility of a fall to the $ 58,000-59,500 area, similar to the movement seen in the early hours of trading on November 15.
Wake on:
“We only test the lower area of the resistance zone. If we break it at the end, we can test the support zone.”
Similar comments were given by the market analyst and Twitter username “Rekt Capital”, who posted the following minimized tweet and looked at the BTC price movement on a monthly chart.
As noted by the analyst, the November 16 price action was a retest of the $ 58,700 monthly support / resistance level. Now that BTC has returned to its $ 61,000 monthly level, it could be an optimistic case in the coming weeks if the price manages to close the month above this level.
There’s still a chance to win $ 54,000.
Market analyst and Cointelegraph contributor Michael van de Poppe took a clear look at the latest price action by posting the following chart of possible BTC price movements next week.

Van de Poppe says:
“So far, very good for Bitcoin. Tell the support, but there are still some important areas to break here, which has not happened yet. Let’s get to that first. $ 63,000 is important. No outburst [leading] to greater speed. descending “.
According to the chart provided by van de Poppe, if the bearish momentum continues, the price of BTC could fall to the next support level of $ 54,000.

According to the analyst, the recent downturn was not the peak of a cycle, but was actually the movement to wave 6 seen in previous cycles. This means that “if it hits the bottom, BTC may soon hit the seventh wave!”
If the displayed wave sequence unfolds, the peak of wave 5 may reach $ 69,000, the lowest of wave 6 is around $ 58,600 with a possible low of $ 53,000, and the peak of the cycle is somewhere between $ 190,000 and $ 260 000 once in December 2021.
