- Bitcoin’s price was about to reach a crucial support level.
- Most figures pointed to a soon price increase.
Bitcoin [BTC] witnessed a price correction in the last 24 hours. An important reason for this could be the increase in the number of liquidations.
Nevertheless, BTC was approaching a crucial support level from which it could make a trend reversal in the coming days or weeks.
Why Bitcoin is in trouble
CoinMarketCaps facts revealed that BTC has fallen by more than 3% in the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $60,862.71 with a market cap of over $1.2 trillion.
Ali, a popular crypto analyst, recently posted one tweet thus revealing a possible reason behind this downward trend. According to the tweet, BTC liquidation rose sharply near the $61,490 mark.
When liquidation increases, it increases the likelihood of a price correction. Therefore, investors might have chosen to exit their positions after reaching that level.
This recent price drop has pushed BTC to a critical support level.
AMBCrypto’s analysis of the coin’s daily chart revealed a widening and descending wedge pattern. If the downturn continues, investors could witness a drop in BTC to $60,078.
At that point, BTC would have a chance to recover. If that happens, the price of the king of cryptos could gain bullish momentum and reach $71,000 in the coming weeks or months.
