Bitcoin Hot Drops Below $60,000
Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView data followed BTC/USD as it surged nearly $3,000 in minutes after hitting a multi-day low of $56,640 on November 22.
The pair faced a strong rejection after briefly breaking the $60,000 barrier, which is now clearly acting as resistance and a critical breakout level for the upside continuation.
According to a Cointelegraph report, opinions remain in favor of a return to full profit for Bitcoin, albeit with the ghostly absence of an expected “worst case” month-end close with large margins looming in the background.
Rect Capital concluded that “the two most effective ways for bitcoin to extend time spent in an upward movement are either an extended consolidation… or a deep correction.”
Meanwhile, Cointelegraph contributor Michael van de Poppe argued that it would be beneficial for Bitcoin to continue to consolidate until the end of 2021.
“Currently, in the recent price action, bitcoin price has shown a deviation from exactly the same level that the red zone was unable to break. This red zone represents the $60,000 resistance zone against the breakouts,” he added alongside the chart as part of his recent newsletter.
“Currently, the Bitcoin price movement is deviating significantly from this area, which again causes the price to fall against the support levels. As long as Bitcoin remains below $ 60 thousand, there is no reason to be optimistic.”
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $59,000 and behaving erratically, continuing after takeoff.
